The more detailed answer is as follows:
The alum gel pack is used in the DWB at a workstation where it is combined with a rebreather filter to make an "enhanced filter". The enhanced filter is then used at the same workstation to apply it to a previously looted rebreather. Once applied to the rebreather, you can enter the aluminum mines at the bottom of the DWB without any penalty to your action.
Lastly, the rebreather filters are obtained from a dispenser right next to the workstation that you use to combine the alum gel pack with the filter.
Hope that made sense and helps!

Roden

I would just add that none of the DWB runs I have ever been in has been done with the group using rebreathers.
Sure, you action keeps dropping to half once in the mines, but that hasn't stopped any of the teams that I've been in from killing the Overlord or doing the foreman's quest, or getting to the crafting room.
Also, I did a run just today and someone who was there said that he was using the rebreather but that it didn't seem to make any difference... go figure.

Well for the record. We had no troubles really either before using the modified rebreathers. BUT, let me tell you, once you have them - oh man is it nice. With a speed buff its nice tokill thingsalot quicker and get things done faster by using more powerful specials without having to worry about your action. So if you are a frequent DWB goer, I suggest having this. Is it a necessity, No. But it is a luxury and speeds up the process when you go in small groups especially.

Assuming these worked correctly and all the required parts could be looted, is this item with you for life?
As in, can I take it out of the DWB, then when I need to go again, I can take it with me? Or does it expire when you leave?
Cheers

Toanswer a few questions on this topic (I hope)....The rebreathers can be looted off the Miners/Technicians NPCs in the DWB. So don't bother with the unlootable versions in the loot bins. Once looted it stays in inventory (or safety deposit box) for life (or until deleted) and can't be traded. Once you have looted the Alum Gel Pack,I took my crafter down into the DWB with a group to make the enhanced filters by going to the rebreather filter dispenser and getting filters. Then combining the rebreather filters with the Alum Gel Pack to make enhanced filters at the workbench next to the filter dispenser. Once made, I traded the enhanced filters to everyone on the team. They then used to workbench which has another radial option to combine the enhanced filters with the rebreather. Since most of our group is typically jedi, its not an issue to leave these equiped. I actually leave mine equiped all the time and don't ever have to think about it since I can't wear a helmet anyway.
Its nice to have and lasts forever. Hope this helps. I don't always check this thread, so feel free to send a PM to me with further questions. 
Regards,
Roden
P.S. The location of the workbench is in the room where the rebreather quest is started. I would use the popular map that has floating around. Basically you go straight instead of down the ramp to where the mine door is located and followed the path around to the left.
