For generations, Gast has been committed to providing air-moving solutions that help preserve and protect our environment. This commitment is underscored by our ISO 14001 certification by the British Standards Institute (BSI), as well as the compressors and vacuum pumps we make to meet a variety of applications in the environmental and safety markets.

Our sales and marketing experts work closely with our experienced engineers and designers to develop products and solutions for virutally any environmental application challenge. And as requirements are added or changed, Gast is quick to adapt so that you maintain your competitive edge.

Major environmental markets that Gast serves include:

Environmental Remediation
Our products are used to remediate contaminants from soil and the water table. Regenerative blowers with explosion-proof motors serve this market by providing long life, consistent airflow and reliable operation.

We also offer Rotary Vane compressors specially designed for sparging applications.

Sewage Aeration
Since many small businesses and residential areas do not have access to municipal wastewater treatment, there is a real need to introduce air into the on-site treatment process. Gast offers several technologies that are well suited for this application - linear, rotary vane, regenerative blowers and diaphragm pumps. This is especially useful in regions where the water table is high or only small areas of land are available for the on-site system.

Air Sampling and Gas Detection
Gast offers a wide range of products that serve both the portable and stationary air sampling and gas detection industries. Personal or portable air samplers/gas detectors typically require small, highly efficient DC pumps for sample draw applications. Gast offers several different miniature diaphragm pumps of various performance levels to fit specific requirements. Stationary air samplers/gas detectors typically have higher air flow requirements in AC or DC operation. Gast provides miniature diaphragm, rotary vane, linear and diaphragm products to serve this market.
