Alternate Fuels Compression Systems & Components


Universal Air & Gas Products Corporation (UAPC) has decades of successful experience in turn-key, alternate fuels system design and construction. Gas compression, storage, dispensing, regulation and controls are all available from UAPC. Similar expertise is applied to government, military and industry applications. These applications include process, inert and synthetic gas systems; breathing, medical and sterile air applications built to virtually any USA or international standard.

Some of the services that are provided for the production of digester, landfill, biogas, hydrogen and syngas systems are:
  • Consulting
  • System design/engineering services
  • In house CAD design capabilities
  • Standard and custom designed compression skid packages
  • Gas treatment systems
  • Construction management
Certified field service technicians and engineers support UAPC systems during installation and startup. As needed or long-term maintenance agreements are also available, which provide for routine or comprehensive technical site supervision. Documentation packages are extensive. This facilitates detailed maintenance, appropriate parts inventory, modification or upgrade provisions for the life of the installation.
