Abstract
A system for removing a gas from a pressurized gas container. A sealable, impermeable rupture vessel encloses an interior on all sides and has a sealable door for allowing access to the interior for placement therein of the gas container. A puncture device is contained within the rupture vessel for puncturing the gas container and releasing the potentially hazardous and unknown gas from the gas container into the rupture vessel. A pump draws the gas from within the rupture vessel without permitting the gas to communicate with any moving parts in the pump.
