My name's Lee Kaiser. I'm Vice President of Engineering for ORR Protection and I'm excited to announce a new reclaimed FM-200 program that we're making available to our customers. For our best customers, ORR has partnered with a leading agent banking company, A-GAS, and system manufacturer, FIKE, to offer reclaimed FM-200, also known as HFC 227 in new factory clean agent cylinders with the great Fike factory warranty and those listings that our customers expect. This is an offer that's exclusively available to customers of ORR Protection.

So what is reclaimed agent? It's like new agent. It's agent that meets ASTM standards. When it comes out of a system, it's shipped to the A-GAS factory in Ohio and that agent is extracted out of the system cylinder. It's put into their process where it's filtered to remove any impurities, such as agent that doesn't meet the standard, any water that may have accumulated in the cylinder over time, and ultimately it's brought back to factory specifications.

Inside A-GAS's lab, the agent is tested for quality. Their lab is AHRI certified and it meets original ASTM specifications. The agent is safe to use in both the owner's existing system cylinders or in new cylinders provided by FIKE at the manufacturer's factory Recycled agent is sometimes used. Understand that recycled does not necessarily mean reclaimed. Recycled agent is just agent that comes out of one cylinder, put into another cylinder without the factory checks for ASTM standards. That is done by A-GAS. So what you want in your cylinders to be sure that there is protection is reclaimed FM-200 reclaimed agent and not necessarily just recycled agent.

So what about the listings and the warranty on reclaimed agent? Well, A-GAS has worked through FM Global and has received FM approval for their reclaimed source of HSC 227. FIKE is in the process of seeking UL listing and FM approval for their reclaimed systems.

Using the agent from A-GAS. FIKE is going to be offering their standard six-year warranty, which is industry leading on new agent cylinders filled in the factory with this agent as designed and installed by authorized distributors like ORR Protection reclaimed FM-200 with a FIKE factory warranty is available only through ORR Protection. It's to be used for new system installations, existing system expansions or changes to existing rooms protected by FM 200. There's a limited amount of reclaimed agent available. It's going to be less than the overall market demands. That's why this is an exclusive arrangement between ORR, A-GAS, and FIKE.
