UNIVERSAL BOSCHI has been manufacturing high purity cryogenic oxygen and nitrogen plants since 1985. With over four decades of engineering experience, we design, manufacture, and install industrial gas plants for steel producers, foundries, mines and processing industries across Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
The UBP-Series incorporates proprietary internal compression technology of BOSCHI ITALY — a significant advancement over conventional cryogenic plants that require external oxygen compressors.
Key technical principle: Liquid oxygen inside the coldbox is directly converted into high-pressure gas at the required pipeline pressure (up to 40 Bar), eliminating the need for a separate oxygen compressor entirely.
| Key Advantage | Detail |
|---|---|
| No External O₂ Compressor Required | Pressure up to 40 Bar directly from coldbox — eliminates costly compression equipment and maintenance. |
| High Purity: 99.7% O₂ | Meets the exact purity requirements of EAF steelmaking, AOD converters, and rolling mills. |
| Direct Pipeline Supply | Gas delivered continuously at required pressure — no cylinders, no handling, no interruptions |
| Proven Since 1985 | 40+ years of cryogenic plant manufacturing experience with installations worldwide. |
| Scalable Capacity | From 5 TPD to 200+ TPD — right-sized for your plant's oxygen demand. |
| Plug & Play (UBPM Series) | Compact, pre-assembled units for smaller steel plants requiring fast deployment. |

Note: Higher capacities available up to 200 TPD on request. Custom configurations available for specific pressure, purity, or installation requirements.
For smaller EAF operators and specialty steel producers, the UBPM Series offers a compact, pre-assembled oxygen plant solution delivered ready for rapid commissioning.
For large-scale EAF operations requiring continuous high-volume oxygen supply, the UBTL Series delivers liquid oxygen storage with pipeline gasification capability for capacities from 20 TPD to 200+ TPD..
| Comparison Factor | On-Site Plant (Universal Boschi) | Cylinder / Bulk Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Gas Cost per m³ | Lowest — produced on-site | High — includes logistics & margin |
| Supply Reliability | Continuous, 24/7 pipeline | Subject to delivery delays |
| Purity Control | Consistent 99.7% guaranteed | Variable, dependent on supplier |
| Pressure Availability | Up to 40 Bar direct | Requires regulator/booster |
| Long-term ROI | Payback typically 1–2 years | Ongoing recurring cost |
| Scalability | Expandable as production grows | Requires re-negotiation |
