    Ethylene uses?



    Have recently cleared stores of old refrigerant into reclaim bottles for suitable disposal i have stumbled across a large high pressure cylinder of ethylene (virgin). After some enquiries have found that we required a small amount (100g) for a cabinet and that the rest has never been touched. Now considering the bottle holds approx 30kg of ethylene I am wondering if there is an industry that could use this bottle rather than disposal through reclaim?any suggestions welcomed (within reason).

    It is the low temp gas and yes it is expensive hence finding an alternative requirement for it rather than paying for it's destruction through the reclaimed processes.

    sell it? what we have done in the past is let the gas suppliers no what gases we have and then when someone is looking for it they can get it off us
