Engineering Air & Gas Solutions
At our core, we design and supply air and gas compression systems covering a wide operating range—from deep vacuum (0.002 Torr) to high-pressure systems up to 6,000 psig and beyond in engineered configurations. Systems are available in lubricated and oil-free designs and include rotary screw, centrifugal, piston, water-injected, and scroll technologies.
Applications include:
- High-pressure breathing air systems for SCBA and SCUBA
- OSHA Grade-D air systems
- Inert, fuel, and process gas compression
- Hazardous location installations
- Marine, offshore, medical, military, fire, and industrial use
Universal Air & Gas Products builds turnkey packages that integrate compressors, boosters, dryers, filtration, storage vessels, controls, and piping. Skid-mounted and fully enclosed systems are available, including outdoor and containerized configurations. We also provide on site technical services, service agreements, piping systems, installation and removal of equipment.
Air Quality & Filtration Expertise
Beyond compression, we manufacture electrostatic precipitators for indoor air pollution control. These systems support industrial and commercial facilities requiring high-efficiency particulate removal with minimal pressure drop. Applications range from commercial kitchen exhaust and oil mist collection to welding smoke and diesel emissions.
Universal Air & Gas Products also supplies filtration and air treatment products, including coalescing and particulate filters, refrigerated dryers, desiccant dryer, gas generation systems and integrated gas drying systems. Each system is configured to meet site conditions, airflow requirements, and operational demands.
Turnkey Integration & Ongoing Support
We work directly with customers to define system requirements and deliver complete, ready-to-operate solutions. Services include system design, equipment sourcing, installation coordination, and maintenance programs. Regional distribution and factory-direct support allow Universal Air & Gas Products to respond quickly to service needs and application changes.
Through our connection with OTC Industrial Technologies, customers gain access to expanded parts availability, preventive maintenance programs, predictive monitoring, and nationwide service coverage. OTC Industrial adds scale and long-term support infrastructure while UAPC maintains its specialization in air and gas systems.
