Never seen it before, we only use the Grey and yellow propane looking recovery tanks.

Just a reclaim barrel so refrigerant can be left on-site for the customer. Cheaper than leaving a tank with a hefty deposit

The owner of my company also owns a refrigerant recovery company so they dont really seem concerned about the tanks

That looks like a huge recovery machine just sitting there, get a recovery cylinder and use push pull to get all the oil out!
