/ About Us /
Since it’s inception in 1997, Halon Banking Systems has respected the highest
industry standards of quality and certification, and in doing so has recycled in
excess of 25 million pounds of halon without incident. We operate full service
recycling centres in both the United States and Canada.
Halon Banking Systems is the only safe choice for reclaiming, recycling, banking
and disposal of halon. We are specialized in buying, selling, trading, recycling
and refilling of halon 1301, 1211, 2402, FM200 and other clean agents.
As a major worldwide supplier of halon 1301, 1211 and 2402, we have the
resources, finances and infrastructure to supply these recycled halons with
their ongoing requirements.
“Used” halons are purchased from non-critical users and the agents are
then processed until they meet internationally accepted standards with
full laboratory certifications. This material is then “banked” in our storage
until needed by critical users.

Our company has successfully completed a project for United Nations OPS in Mexico
of extensive halon inventory
to set-up their National Halon Bank. A similar project was initiated in May 2007,
for the configuration of two mobile halon recovery and reclamation facilities
in collaboration with the Indian Navy and Indian Ministry of Defence.
In February 2008, the two facilities were fully functional and handled a large volume
of halon. Part of the main equipment for the HRRF was a halon 1301.1211/2401
Neutronics halon recycling machine. With complete automatation and a recovery
rate of over 98% -99% nitrogen removal efficiency, it averaged 1 to 2 kilograms
per minute in halon recycling. In addition, we used Neutronics Halon Identifier -
a portable and fixed equipment test - to ensure the highest results.
