Purge Solutions

What Purge Solutions does

Purge Solutions, Inc. is a privately held ISO 9001:2015-certified OEM founded in 2002 and headquartered in Alvin, Texas. The company designs and manufactures Type X, Y, and Z purge and pressurization systems under its CYCLOPS and TRYCLOPS product lines, used to protect electrical equipment enclosures in Division 1/2 and Zone 1/2 hazardous locations. Its core technology monitors minimum overpressure and exhaust vent flow, controls automatic purge timing (1-99 minutes), and automatically connects or disconnects electrical power (up to 25 Amps) to protected equipment; the TRYCLOPS X variants extend this monitoring to up to three enclosures simultaneously. Supporting products include Vortex Cabinet Cooler Systems, Increased Safety Enclosures and Window Kits, Back Up Vents, Differential Pressure Gauge Kits, and Protective Gas Inlet Kits.

The company's product portfolio carries multi-jurisdiction certifications (ATEX, CSA, IECEx, NEC, NFPA, UL, UKEx, CE Mark, with Korea Testing Laboratory for select models), enabling global sale into hazardous area applications. Purge Solutions sells directly to industrial buyers via a B2B enterprise field sales motion, supported by product configuration tools (Purge Wizard, Quote by Model Number), downloadable technical documentation, and installation videos. Pricing is quote-based with no public list pricing.

The company serves industrial hazardous area operators across oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, mining, and general manufacturing verticals. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of controllers, indicators, enclosures, and accessory kits. The firm is independently operated with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, external funding rounds, partnerships, or named executive leadership.
