The Companys CEO and founder, Glenn Huebner, is the innovative force behind many of the Companys Nitrox Systems. He has a Bachelors of Science Degree in Finance from California State University, Northridge and over 25 years experience in commercial and sport diving and the use of gas producing systems. The Companys Production Manager, Danny Graham, assists in the technical design of the Companys products and is responsible for coordinating the manufacturing process. He is a certified compressor repair technician and has over 15 years experience in the commercial and sport diving industry. Nuvair Specialties Include Nitrox Membranes Nuvair has pioneered the use of semi-permeable membrane technology and its use with compressors to produce nitrox. Using Nuvairs patented membrane system nitrox can be produced for low pressure or high pressure delivery from 21% to 40% oxygen. Nuvair manufacturers turnkey systems that provide nitrox in a standalone package or nitrox generators that can be placed in line with your existing compressor system. Low Pressure and High Pressure Turn Key Nitrox Compressor Systems Nuvair combines their innovative membrane nitrox technology with low pressure and high pressure compressor packages to offer complete turnkey systems for continuous duty use. Low pressure systems that can be taken on site for commercial diving use and high pressure nitrox generating compressor packages enclosed for cool and quiet operation. Often referred to as Nitrox in a box Low Pressure Compressors Nuvair manufactures their own line of low pressure compressors onsite. Years of experience in the commercial diving industry as divers has given Glenn and Danny the upper hand in manufacturing low pressure compressors for commercial diving. Nuvair uses only the finest components in producing compressors and always tries to meet and exceed industry standards. Nuvair compressor packages may look like the rest, however it is the finer details and choice of components that make Nuvair compressors stand out from the rest. Custom Built Compressors Nuvair is a manufacturer with a Can Do attitude. We realize your needs may differ than our standard packages and we often tweak or design packages to meet the customers specific needs. With all manufacturing done in-house we can make subtle or extensive design changes for a custom package that is exactly what the customer wants. We encourage the customer to call us and help us create the perfect compressor package for their needs.

Nitrox is simply a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen that contains more oxygen, and less nitrogen, than standard air. By reducing the amount of nitrogen in the gas mixture, we can reduce the amount of nitrogen absorbed, shrinking the divers decompression obligation for the time spent at any given depth. Using nitrox gives the diving company a competitive edge that is easy to obtain and becomes particularly important when working in areas where there are short weather windows or at altitude. In areas where there are extreme tidal flows, nitrox can also be a real time saver, allowing the divers to make the most out of the slack tide periods. The most significant benefits of using nitrox occur in the 60-80 FSW depth range. For example, using a mix containing 36% oxygen with a PO2 of 1.13 at 40 feet provides a 405 minutes of dive time with no required water stops, compared to a 163 minutes allowable bottom time on air. Thats more than two times the normal no-decompression limit! In a nut shell: Nitrox will bring a significant savings to your project in money and time by increasing the bottom time a diver can stay over air in shallow water.

Our relationship does not end with the delivery of your compressor. Need supplies or additions to your compressor packages? Nuvair stocks consumables for all compressors and filtration systems we sell. Air Purification- We offer three stage breathing air filtration packages and can supply components and consumables. We stock replacement elements for breathing air filtration by Hankison and Norgren. Lubricants- Our premium quality synthetic food grade breathing air compressor oil is made to meet FDA guidelines for food grade additives. Unlike most mineral and synthetic lubricants on the market, Nuvair oil will not produce harmful by-products when used in elevated O2 environments. Nuvair oil is available in quart, gallon, and five gallon containers or larger quantities by custom order. We offer two types of low pressure compressor oils Nuvair 455 for reciprocating and Nuvair 546 for rotary screw compressors both food grade synthetics. Regulators, Valves and Panels- Nuvair can supply simple to complex diver manifolds to meet your needs. Using quality components we can work with you to design a manifold panel or valve outlet for your Air/Nitrox compressor packages or take a look at our stock panel designs. Panels can be mounted on the compressors or into a portable locking case. We stock a wide array of regulator and valve parts as well. Volume Tanks- Nuvairs stand alone volume tanks are built in accordance with ASME, ABS, USCG, UN, SAE-J10 and others standards. We stock sizes from 15-120 gallons (55-454 Liters) that are made from steel. Additional sizes and stainless steel tanks can be special ordered. Aluminum, steel or stainless steel frames can be built to accommodate horizontal or vertical applications. Valves and gauges to fit your needs can be installed before the tank leaves Nuvair. Give us specifications and we will create the solution. Analyzers- We offer three styles of O2 Analyzers to accommodate most applications and carry Helium, Trimix, CO, CO2 and moisture analyzers. Replacement parts and sensors are also available for all of analyzers.
