This episode of the DILO TechTalk Podcast focuses on sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆), a widely used insulating and arc-quenching gas in electrical switchgear that is also a potent greenhouse gas. The spotlight is on a sustainable solution offered by DILO: certified reconditioned SF₆ gas. Instead of producing new gas or disposing of used SF₆—which both have a high environmental impact—DILO cleans and reuses existing gas through an advanced cryogenic separation process.

The result is high-purity gas that often exceeds the standards for new SF₆ in key areas such as moisture, acidity, and contaminant levels. This approach not only ensures technical reliability but also offers economic advantages, including lower costs compared to new gas, reduced disposal expenses, and potential tax benefits in regions with CO₂ regulations.

DILO also provides full service—from collection to testing and return—and offers flexible cylinder options. Overall, the reconditioned gas matches or outperforms new SF₆ while supporting a circular economy, making it a compelling solution for a more sustainable energy infrastructure.
