Dunphy designs and manufactures gas boosters in the UK to provide a robust, reliable and compliant solution to low gas pressure challenges across industrial and commercial environments.
Our gas booster systems support stable combustion, operational efficiency and safety where pressure consistency is critical.
Dunphy designs and manufactures high-performance gas booster systems to ensure reliable gas pressure and flow for industrial boilers, burners and energy systems. Each booster set is engineered to match the specific requirements of your installation, with options for natural gas, biogas and specialist applications.
Built with robust components and supported by Dunphy’s combustion engineering expertise, our gas boosters deliver stable pressure, improved system efficiency and dependable long-term operation.
A gas booster is a mechanical system designed to increase and stabilise gas pressure where the incoming supply is insufficient for combustion equipment or industrial processes. Gas boosters are commonly used with boilers, burners and CHP systems to maintain consistent gas flow and pressure.
By boosting and regulating supply pressure, these systems help ensure safe operation, optimal combustion performance and reliable energy delivery across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.
Natural gas boosters are used where mains supply pressure is insufficient for industrial boilers, burners or other gas‑fired equipment. Typical applications include combustion systems requiring stable pressure and reliable flow.
Standard systems can deliver pressure lifts of up to 82 mbar and volumes up to 1,300 m³/hr. Due to the properties of natural gas, system design is relatively straightforward, with components typically manufactured from mild steel.
Biogas boosters are designed to manage lower‑density and potentially corrosive gases. Biogas systems often require higher volume delivery to achieve equivalent energy output.
Our biogas boosters are engineered with appropriate material selection, including stainless steel construction and optional protective coatings, to ensure durability when handling gases containing hydrogen sulphide or siloxanes. Applications commonly include CHP, waste‑to‑energy and anaerobic digestion systems.
Our gas boosters are designed and manufactured in accordance with relevant UK standards and guidance, including:
Manufacturing and testing are carried out under ISO 9001 quality management systems, with safety and compliance embedded throughout design and delivery.
Gas boosters are typically required when:
In these situations, gas boosters ensure consistent supply, improved efficiency and safe operation.
High‑pressure gas booster pumps are used where gas must be delivered at pressures above standard combustion system requirements. These applications are typically industrial or process‑driven rather than building services‑led.
High‑pressure gas boosters are commonly specified for:
Selection is governed by pressure requirements, gas type, duty cycle, safety controls and compliance considerations.
As standard, Dunphy gas booster systems can be configured with one to three booster units delivering pressure lifts up to 82 mbar and volumes up to 1,300 m³/hr.
Where higher pressure or volume is required, bespoke engineered solutions are available.
A gas booster set is the complete system incorporating one or more boosters with controls, regulators and safety components. Gas boosters are the individual pressure‑boosting units.
Gas boosters mechanically compress low‑pressure gas and deliver it at a controlled higher pressure, ensuring stable supply for combustion or process use.
Gas booster installations are governed by IGEM/UP/2 guidance and BS 8487, which define safety, installation and maintenance requirements.
Service intervals typically fall between six and twelve months, depending on application and manufacturer guidance.
Installation and maintenance must be carried out by suitably qualified engineers experienced in industrial gas systems and UK standards.
