Life support systems

Hytech-Pommec designs and manufactures industry-leading life-support systems for safe operation in hazardous and inert environments. With over 50 years of experience, we serve sectors including chemical cleaning, wastewater treatment, sewer cleaning, and catalyst handling—industries where worker safety and reliable breathing air supply are absolutely critical.

Our philosophy is simple: “We keep you breathing.”
Every system is built with maximum safety, intuitive operation, and proven reliability in mind, trusted by leading companies across Europe and beyond.

Complete life support solutions

Hytech-Pommec offers fully engineered, custom-built life support systems housed in trailers, trucks, or containers. Each unit is designed to meet customer-specific requirements, while strictly adhering to relevant industry standards.

Typical system configurations include:

  • Dedicated equipment compartments
  • Control rooms with air panels, communication sets and alarm systems
  • Single line’s or umbilical’s, with or without reels, for multiple workers
  • Primary air supply (low or high pressure)
  • Secondary backup air supply (high-pressure cylinders)

Additional options including gas analysers, video monitoring, escape bottles, generators, masks and helmets can be tailored to meet your specific requirements.

BA panel technology

Our BA (Breathing Apparatus) panels are at the core of many life-support systems. Engineered for reliability and ease of use.

Features

  • A-panel to regulate air supply
  • B-panel to distribute air to masks or helmets
  • One low-pressure (LP) and four high-pressure (HP) supply connections
  • Automatic switchover between LP and HP in case of failure
  • Flow meters and shut-off valves for all umbilical connections
  • Pneumatic alarms on both panels

These panels can be delivered as part of complete turnkey systems or as standalone units for seamless integration into existing setups.

Digital flow meter panel – advanced monitoring

Our latest innovation, the digital flow meter panel, offers enhanced safety and monitoring.

Features

  • Real-time display of HP and LP supply pressures
  • Total entry time and individual worker flow rates
  • Alarms for flow interruptions, constant flow (leaks) and low air supplies
  • Colour-coded indicators for individual user consumption
  • Internal logging with storage, expandable via SD card

Personal protective equipment and accessories

We supply a wide range of high-quality PPE and accessories to complement life-support systems.

Options:

  • Helmets with dual inlet regulators (primary and backup)
  • Masks with integrated communication options
  • Bail-out bottles for individual emergency air
  • Umbilicals, produced and tested in-house to meet any length or configuration
  • Explosion-proof camera sets
  • Communication systems, air-tech blocks, protective suits and more

Each component is engineered for maximum protection and user-friendly operation even in the most demanding environments.

Safety as a core value

In industries where workers operate in confined spaces or inert atmospheres, there is no margin for error. Hytech-Pommec systems are built with redundancy at their core – each unit includes at least one backup air source to ensure a continuous supply of breathing air, even in emergency situations. Our designs prioritise intuitive, straightforward operation to minimise the risk of human error and all systems meet or exceed applicable safety standards. Your team’s safety is and always will be, our highest priority.

Service and support

As a true partner to our customers Hytech-Pommec provides comprehensive service solutions including annual inspections, certifications (such as SIR), repairs, spare parts supply and user training.

Whether you need support for a single component or a complete system, our team is ready to help ensure your equipment performs reliably, year after year.
