PRESS RELEASE

December, 2004

Gas & Air Systems, Inc. has recently delivered an Oxygen Compressor package to Tecnico Corporation, Panama City FL for installation at the US Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center.

The compressor is a Burton Corblin metal diaphragm compressor designed to transfer gaseous O2 from transport trailers into high pressure storage. Chosen for its flexibility and reliability, the entire system is engineered and equipped to boost O2 gas from a supply pressure as low as 100psiG to a discharge pressure of up to 3,000psiG at a capacity of 11 – 45 scfm.

The package includes gas coolers, compressor monitoring, protective, and control devices, as well as a closed loop cooling system and a compressor control panel. The package was engineered and manufactured by Gas & Air Systems to fit on an existing foundation, minimizing on-site construction costs. The entire process system was cleaned and certified to MIL STD-1330D.

The Metal Diaphragm Compressor was invented and patented by Burton Corblin in 1916. It has been continuously developed by Burton Corblin who remains the world’s leading manufacturer of the metal diaphragm compressor, the technology of choice for oil-free, non-contaminating, leak-tight compression of high-purity, hazardous, or aggressive gases, including Oxygen and other oxidizing gases.

Gas & Air Systems, Inc., a Weldship Group Company, is the exclusive North American packager and distributor of Burton Corblin Compressors.
