Twelve years of moving refrigerants through Nigerian industry, offered as advice rather than as a sales pitch. Selection, retrofit, sourcing and safe handling.
Choosing a refrigerant is a chemistry decision with a capital-expenditure consequence. We help you make it once.
Every grade carries a set of trade-offs — operating pressure, discharge temperature, glide, oil miscibility, flammability class, ozone depletion potential and global warming potential. A gas that suits a cold room at −25°C is the wrong answer for a chiller, and a low-GWP hydrocarbon is only an option if the equipment is built for it.
We work from the equipment, the duty and the operating envelope rather than from a price list. Where two grades are genuinely comparable, we say so.
Moving a plant off R22 — or off a high-GWP HFC — is a project, not a cylinder swap.
Nigeria's installed base still runs a great deal of R22 equipment. Some of it should be serviced on R22 until it is replaced; some of it should be retrofitted to R407C or R410A now; some of it should be left alone. The economics differ per machine.
We assess the installed base, group it by the right answer, and set out the sequence — including the oil change, the component checks, the recovery of the old charge and the realistic downtime for each machine.
Twelve years of importing means we know which specifications hold up and which lead times are real.
Refrigerant is a commodity until it is not. Purity, cylinder integrity, correct labelling and honest net weight are where the difference sits — and where a cheap cylinder becomes expensive.
For clients running continuous refrigeration we build a supply plan: what to hold, what to schedule, and what to keep a second source for. For one-off projects we quote the grade, the pack and the landed timing straight.
Pressurised, and in two cases flammable. The handling is not optional.
Every product we supply arrives with a safety data sheet on request, and we will walk your team through what it actually means: charging method, personal protective equipment, ventilation requirements, storage separation and what to do when a cylinder is damaged.
For hydrocarbon refrigerants — R290 and R600a — we are deliberately conservative. They belong in equipment certified for them, charged by technicians trained for them, in spaces ventilated for them. We will say no where that is not the case.
Four steps, sized to the job. A single machine takes a phone call; a plant-wide transition takes a few weeks.
Tell us the equipment, the duty and the problem. No cost, no obligation — most questions are answered in this step alone.
Where the question is bigger than a phone call, we survey the installed base and gather the operating data that the decision depends on.
A written recommendation: grade, oil, component changes, sequence, quantities and an honest view of what it will cost.
If you want us to supply the gas, we do — to the schedule agreed. If you would rather buy elsewhere, the recommendation still stands.
Cold rooms, blast freezers, process chilling and refrigerated distribution — where a failed charge is a spoiled batch.
Process cooling and plant air-conditioning, including phased transitions away from R22 across large installed bases.
Reliable grade-correct supply at volume, plus a technical second opinion when a specification is unclear.
Vehicle air-conditioning service gas and refrigerated transport, supplied in the pack sizes workshops actually use.
Display cabinets, bottle coolers and kitchen refrigeration, including low-GWP hydrocarbon options where equipment allows.
Mixed estates with mixed refrigerants — grouped, prioritised and put on a supply plan that removes the surprises.
Tell us the equipment and the duty. We will confirm the right gas, the pack size and the lead time.
