Gas Cylinder Management
The mismanagement of compressed gas cylinders with poor integrity or with leaking/damaged valves can lead to catastrophic consequences: personal injury, fire, or explosions. It is crucial that these cylinders be handled by qualified professionals
who know precisely how to determine their integrity for transportation.
William Charles Environmental Services offers a distinctly qualified staff with the experience to handle every facet of cylinder management at your facility. Our staff has identified thousands of unknown or unmarked cylinders through our extensive knowledge of Compressed Gas Association (CGA) standards and markings, and through our comprehensive hands-on field experience.
We offer every facet of cylinder management:
- Integrity testing/inspections
- Profiling and manifesting
- Overpacking vessels (i.e., “cylinder coffins”)
- Transportation and disposal
- Unknown cylinder identification through:
- Cold tapping
- Gas sampling/collection
