What nano-purification solutions does

nano-purification solutions is an industrial equipment manufacturer that designs, builds, and services compressed air treatment, gas generation, and process cooling systems for industrial B2B customers. The product portfolio spans GFN compressed air filters (coalescing, particulate, activated carbon, sterile-grade depth/membrane, culinary steam), refrigerated dryers (thermal mass cycling, digital scroll, variable speed, high-pressure), desiccant dryers (heatless, externally heated, blower purge, modular twin-tower, with dew points down to -94°F), Sepura oil-water separators and condensate drains, NBA breathing air purification systems, and aftercoolers. Its gas generation line includes GEN2 i4.0 and GEN2-MAX PSA nitrogen generators delivering up to 99.999% purity, OGX on-site oxygen generators, NDC CO2 removal adsorption dryers, and OGX membrane-based systems; its cooling line includes NCS industrial process chillers. The company wraps these into fully engineered skid packages that integrate filtration, drying, gas generation, storage, and controls into turnkey, ready-to-run systems.

The business serves more than ten verticals — food & beverage, pharmaceutical, medical gas/healthcare, metal fabrication, oil & gas, automotive, chemical & petrochemical, pulp & paper, general manufacturing, and biogas/RNG — and supports its installed base with replacement parts, cross-reference tools for competitor part numbers, and legacy equipment support. Products carry compliance for ISO 13485, ISO 7396-1, OSHA Grade D, CSA Z180.1-13, cGMP, ISO 8573-1, and 3A culinary specifications, supporting qualification into regulated end markets. Manufacturing is centered in Maryville, Tennessee (where the aircel sub-brand is built), with corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, and regional offices in Canada (St. Catharines), the United Kingdom (Gateshead), Singapore, Mexico, and Germany.

The revenue model is predominantly hardware sales — equipment, custom engineered skids, OEM/private-label components, and replacement parts — with quote-based pricing rather than published price lists. The go-to-market blends dedicated enterprise field sales, an OEM/private-label motion where nano technology is embedded in customer systems, and a distribution-partner channel covering machine builders, contractors, and regional distributors. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary operating as Air & Gas Solutions LLC under the Atlas Copco Group, having absorbed the aircel brand and AirTak (acquired 2019-11-12) as inorganic growth moves. Legal entities exist for the UK (nano-purification solutions ltd.) and Asia Pacific, supporting localized field sales and service.
