Universal Air & Gas Products Corporation (UAPC) provides a comprehensive line of standard breathing air compressor system products or custom-built designs. The two principle classifications of breathing air products are Low Pressure and High Pressure Breathing Air Compressors.

UAPCs application engineers can assist you in determining the best system design for your application. Please email, fax or call in your application for discussion and recommendation. We can accommodate outdoor, low ambient, off-shore, marine or hazardous location design requirements when required.

Low Pressure Breathing Air Compressors

Low Pressure Breathing Air SystemsLow pressure systems provide OSHA, CGA and NFPA recognized, Grade-D or better quality breathing air at a pressure ranging from 60 to 200 PSIG. (PSIG means pounds per square inch measured on gauge, where the gauge reads zero at normal atmospheric pressure.) Fixed manifold systems and flexible hoses are used to carry the cleaned and purified compressed air to the breather(s).

Each breather must wear a Type-C breathing apparatus, which regulates the flow of compressed air through a mask, hood or suit. The amount of airflow per person, measured in SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet Per Minute) varies with the style and manufacturer of the Type-C delivery apparatus. Low pressure breathing air systems are typically employed in situations where the breather will require a continuous supply of air on a constant basis. The breather must be able to accommodate the limitations to movement that result from the compressed air feed line he is attached to.

Industrial applications for breathing air typically use low pressure supply for contaminated work station environments. Medical applications supply low pressure breathing air to patients. Low pressure breathing air is much less expensive to use and maintain, when compared with high pressure alternatives, per SCFM delivered

High Pressure Breathing Air Compressors

High Pressure Breathing Air SystemsHigh pressure breathing air compressors are used primarily for recharging storage banks of compressed breathing air. These storage banks are either ASME or DOT cylinders typically designed to hold 5,000 to 6,000 psig. From these storage vessels, various sizes and styles of SCBA or SCUBA tanks are recharged with Grade-E breathing air.

The high pressure storage of the compressed air allow the breather to have completely free mobility with only the burden of the high pressure storage tank on his back. These tanks have a limited time frame of usage between refills, typically less than 45 minutes.

A complete breathing air system will include the high pressure compressor system with associated controls and filtration devices, followed by a large capacity storage system and finally a containment fill station. The containment fill station is a system designed to safely hold and fill from storage cylinders the SCBA or SCUBA tank(s) to maximum pressure. A containment fill station is designed to safely contain an accidental explosion of an SCBA or SCUBA tank, should it rupture during refill.

We specialize in building compressed air dryers customized for biogas, hydrogen, syngas, landfill, digester, and wastewater treatment applications. Our drying systems are designed to handle discharge pressures as high as 6000 PSIG. We build and integrate cartridge dryer/filtration manifolds for NGV refueling stations. These refrigerated air dryers are ideal for use in compressed air systems with internal air lines. Closed-loop air to water and salt water to fresh water heat exchangers is available too.

Specially formulated chemical drying agents are used in our desiccant compressed dryers for absorbing and holding moisture. UAPC filtration systems are available in flow capacities from 5 SCFM to 1030 SCFM. Particulate and coalescing air filters can be supplied with a range of accessories, including automatic drain valves, connector kits, wall mounting kits, and differential pressure indicators. Our air-cooled and water-cooled chillers are used in air coils, radiators, heat exchangers, nozzles, jacketed vessels, barrels, as well as mixers.

UAPC offers a variety of custom field services, including compressed air or gas system installation, maintenance, repair, overhaul or reconfiguration. Long term maintenance agreements are offered based upon single or multiple plant locations. In addition, piping system design and installation, certified welding service, air system audits, leak detection, gas monitoring devices and controls, custom fabrication services and turn-key conversion of your equipment from NEC NEMA 1, 4 or 12 to NEMA 7 hazardous environment code compliant are all available. Should you require backup equipment while your compressor system is down, we offer an extensive rental fleet for pressures ranging from 30 psig to 6,000 psig in both electric and diesel drive configurations. UAPC is a VA licensed, Class A mechanical contractor. Please consult with us for your skilled labor requirements.

In addition to the commonly available 125 psig, diesel driven compressor, UAPC maintains a large fleet of high pressure rental compressors. By high pressure, we mean discharge pressure ranging from 200 psig to 6,000 psig. Applications for these compressors are PET, valve testing, seal testing, pipeline testing, and breathing air for filling SCBA or DOT pressure vessels. Water cooled high pressure compressors are supplied to customers with larger or continuous duty applications. Air cooled high pressure compressors are supplied to customers with intermittent or small capacity applications. Please contact us for further discussion of your rental compressor system application.
