Industrial One Partner – On Site Gas System

It all began with a trip to the moon.

NASA’s Apollo Program was the ’60s-era race to the moon that culminated with Neil Armstrong’s walk on the lunar surface in 1969. During those crucial years, Francis X. Hursey was pioneering PSA (pressure swing adsorption) oxygen technology as a member of the spacecraft’s breathing air team. After Project Apollo, Frank helped develop one of the first oxygen concentrators for home use. It was this core of knowledge that led him to found On Site Gas Systems in 1987.

Who is On Site Gas? As you might have guessed from our name, we design and build gas-generating (nitrogen and oxygen) systems that function on-site at your physical plant. Our systems are used in mission-critical applications, across dozens of industries, in over 100 countries.

Our standard products are often modified or customized to meet specific customer requirements. All our systems are built in the USA. During more than 30 years in business, we have exhibited an unprecedented level of growth and excellence. Our customers use On Site Gas Systems to replace or augment other gas delivery methods, and many report monthly savings of up to 80%.

We are a private, self-funded company with over 40 employees, many of whom hold at least one patent. In a nutshell, On Site Gas Systems does just what our name implies: we design and build PSA and membrane nitrogen and oxygen generation systems that function “on-site” — wherever that may be. Our safe, continuous, flexible systems provide cost-saving, reliable gas generation for numerous applications, and can be found in over 100 countries. We are a unique company of customer focused product development engineers driven to find a cost effective solution to your industrial gas needs.

It is our privilege to be able to design and build systems that save lives, protect the environment, and offer simple, cost-effective solutions to our customers. Our systems deliver emergency oxygen on the battlefield and after natural disasters. Our nitrogen systems enable lead-free soldering and are used to preserve food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals.

On Site Systems pioneered the adoption of PSA technology. We are a non-cryogenic gas company with a global reach, offering membrane, PSA nitrogen systems (95-99.9995% purity), and PSA oxygen (USP 93-99% purity) systems for both medical and industrial use. We are FDA-approved for our military medical O2 systems — and our entire PSA and membrane systems meet or exceed USP standards for food grade and medical N2 and O2.

R&D Leadership

Long-term commitment. Consistent leadership.

On Site Gas has always been a leader in nitrogen membrane, PSA, and oxygen generation. To ensure that we’re not only staying ahead of the curve, but also defining it, we decided long ago to dedicate a substantial portion of our resources to research and development. We bring an extraordinary depth of experience to bear. In fact, many of those involved in R&D at On Site have been with the company for decades.

Our founder and President, Francis X. Hursey is a veteran of the Apollo Breathing Air Team and has been awarded multiple patents in noncryogenic gas technology, medical products and nitrogen applications. He invented QuikClot® brand hemostatic agent and was recognized as a top scientist in 2003 by Scientific American.

Our philosophy is to keep the simple processes simple, while making complex processes less complex. This way of thinking has formed the basis for our growth, and has enhanced our reputation. We use COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) parts so that our systems can be serviced by a mechanically inclined person, anywhere in the world. We have worked with and tested all technologies involving PSA gas production, and continue to find that our technology, improved over time, makes the most reliable systems in the world. We constantly seek new ways to apply our proven technology.

Outstanding Customer Service

Customer service is an integral part of company’s mission. We are here to help guide you during your decision making process, answer questions along the way and provide outstanding service and support once your equipment is on location.
