For a chemicals operation in Sasolburg, a 22 kW screw compressor is best treated as a complete air-system decision rather than a stand-alone machine purchase.
Typical planning role: a continuous line with multiple pneumatic consumers.
Sasolburg is approached here as a process-manufacturing environment. That means the quote should prioritise air quality, safe condensate handling, ventilation and dependable pressure control, especially where instrument air, valve actuation, transfer support and packaging equipment is part of the daily air demand. For the 22 kW Sasolburg proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
One realistic design case for this page is one chemicals line plus workshop tools that operate intermittently. The 22 kW unit supplies about 3.6 m³/min at a typical 7 bar reference point, but the decision must be checked at the site’s actual pressure and simultaneous demand. For the Sasolburg application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
For chemicals in Sasolburg, list the equipment behind instrument air, valve actuation, transfer support and packaging equipment and separate steady consumers from short peaks. This determines whether 22 kW is a base-load match or only one part of the final system.
The package should address air quality, safe condensate handling, ventilation and dependable pressure control. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive chemicals application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. Before order placement, this point is reviewed for the specific 22 kW installation in Sasolburg.
Where sasol demand changes through the shift, VSD may reduce unloaded operation. Where demand is stable, fixed-speed can remain the better-value option. The choice should follow a demand profile, not a general rule. For Sasolburg, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
For the 22 kW installation in Sasolburg, the next step is to turn that context into measurable flow, pressure and air-quality criteria.
For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the chemicals process instead of treating them as optional extras. On the Sasolburg project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
| Sector | Likely compressed-air uses | Specification priority |
|---|---|---|
| Chemicals | instrument air, valve actuation, transfer support and packaging equipment | air quality, safe condensate handling, ventilation and dependable pressure control |
| Sasol | pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support | measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability |
| Sasol | pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support | measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability |
Supply the compressor for connection to a suitable existing receiver, dryer and distribution system in Sasolburg. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. Before order placement, this point is reviewed for the specific 22 kW installation in Sasolburg.
Combine the 22 kW machine with a reviewed 1 000 L receiver range, refrigeration dryer, pre-filter, coalescing filter and automatic drains for the chemicals duty. For Sasolburg, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future sasol demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. For the Sasolburg application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. On the Sasolburg project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
Most production systems benefit from a matched refrigeration dryer and filtration. The required dew point and filter grade depend on the chemicals process; sensitive instruments or product-contact risks may require a different air-quality design. In the Sasolburg quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.
Specify the minimum pressure required at the furthest user, then calculate losses through pipework, filters and the dryer. Raising the compressor set point to compensate for a restrictive network wastes energy, so the distribution system should be checked first. On the Sasolburg project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
The scope can include delivery, off-loading, positioning, receiver and dryer connections, airline tie-in, electrical coordination, commissioning and operator handover. The final quotation separates included work from any site preparation required before arrival. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 22 kW Sasolburg package from a generic equipment-only quote.
Base the service plan on operating hours, environment and manufacturer intervals. For a process-manufacturing environment, intake filters, cooler cleanliness, drains and ventilation deserve routine inspection in addition to oil, separator and filter changes. The final 22 kW proposal for Sasolburg will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
For Sasolburg, maintenance should reflect the chemicals duty rather than a generic interval. For a 22 kW unit, operating trends and critical-spares planning become increasingly important.
Oil, filters, separator, drive, cooling, drains and controls are scoped from the exact machine.
Alarms, pressure, temperature, current and behaviour help separate component, demand, ventilation and pipework faults in Sasolburg.
Planned visits, reporting, open actions and critical-spares planning can be aligned to the chemicals duty.
Air treatment, drains, storage, leaks and point-of-use pressure can be included where they affect the problem.
Yes. Send the model, serial, hours, service history and exact Sasolburg site details so travel, parts and shutdown needs can be quoted.
Send the alarm, operating symptom, available pressure and temperature, nameplate and controller photos, site contact, access details and production impact in Sasolburg.
Coverage note: service availability, travel and response are confirmed for the exact site. This page describes coverage and does not represent a separate staffed branch in Sasolburg.
Send the air users, pressure, hours, electrical supply, existing equipment and delivery position. We will respond with a defined compressor, receiver, dryer, filtration and installation scope. For the 22 kW Sasolburg proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
