For a sasol operation in Secunda, 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.
The useful local question is not whether a compressor can be delivered to Secunda; it is whether the package is arranged for the site’s sasol workload, maintenance access and expected production hours. For Secunda, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
One realistic design case for this page is one sasol 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 sasol in Secunda, list the equipment behind pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support 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 measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive sasol application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. For Secunda, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
Where energy 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. Before order placement, this point is reviewed for the specific 22 kW installation in Secunda.
That local profile guides the complete 22 kW system arrangement proposed for Secunda, not merely the compressor model.
For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the sasol process instead of treating them as optional extras.
| Sector | Likely compressed-air uses | Specification priority |
|---|---|---|
| Sasol | pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support | measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability |
| Energy | maintenance, controls, fabrication and auxiliary equipment | dust protection, heat management and predictable maintenance |

Supply the compressor for connection to a suitable existing receiver, dryer and distribution system in Secunda. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 22 kW Secunda package from a generic equipment-only quote.
Combine the 22 kW machine with a reviewed 1 000 L receiver range, refrigeration dryer, pre-filter, coalescing filter and automatic drains for the sasol duty.
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future energy demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. On the Secunda project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. The final 22 kW proposal for Secunda will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
1 000 L is a practical starting range, but the receiver must be checked against demand peaks, control method and available space. Short events linked to pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support may justify more storage instead of oversizing the compressor. For Secunda, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
Most production systems benefit from a matched refrigeration dryer and filtration. The required dew point and filter grade depend on the sasol process; sensitive instruments or product-contact risks may require a different air-quality design.
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. Before order placement, this point is reviewed for the specific 22 kW installation in Secunda.
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. For the Secunda application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
A service plan for Secunda starts with hours, environment and the production consequence of the sasol process. 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 Secunda.
Planned visits, reporting, open actions and critical-spares planning can be aligned to the sasol 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 Secunda 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 Secunda.
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 Secunda.
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 Secunda application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
