A 37 kW screw compressor is commonly shortlisted when a Secunda operation needs dependable air for pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support, but final sizing still needs a measured demand check.
Typical planning role: a multi-shift plant-air system with steady base demand.
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. The final 37 kW proposal for Secunda will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
One realistic design case for this page is a coal-to-liquid department with several users cycling through the shift. The 37 kW unit supplies about 6.2 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 37 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. On the Secunda project, we confirm this specifically for the 37 kW package and the measured duty profile.
Where coal-to-liquid 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. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 37 kW Secunda package from a generic equipment-only quote.
For this 37 kW Secunda brief, the same operating priorities are converted into practical equipment and installation choices.
For this 37 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 |
| Coal-To-Liquid | 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. The Secunda system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 37 kW machine.
Combine the 37 kW machine with a reviewed 1 000–2 000 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 coal-to-liquid demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. On the Secunda project, we confirm this specifically for the 37 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. This forms part of the technical review for the 37 kW Secunda quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
Send the required pressure, list of air users, operating hours, electrical supply, existing receiver or dryer details, air-quality requirement and delivery address. Photos of the intended compressor position and current pipe connection also improve the accuracy of the proposal. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 37 kW Secunda package from a generic equipment-only quote.
Start with the most sensitive point of use, then choose dryer performance and filter grades from that requirement. The design should also provide accessible condensate drains and avoid creating unnecessary pressure drop through over-restrictive filtration. This forms part of the technical review for the 37 kW Secunda quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
Yes. We can quote the equipment, delivery and agreed commissioning scope for Secunda, with ongoing access to service parts, oils, filters and separator elements. Cross-border projects are quoted with the required logistics and documentation clearly defined. The final 37 kW proposal for Secunda will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
List every air user that can run together, its required pressure and the operating hours. The 37 kW model is rated at about 6.2 m³/min at a typical 7 bar point, but the final choice must allow for pressure, leakage, dryer loss and sensible growth margin for the sasol duty.
For Secunda, maintenance should reflect the sasol duty rather than a generic interval. For a 37 kW unit, prepare the full kit, oil, cooler access, valve checks and load test.
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. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 37 kW Secunda package from a generic equipment-only quote.
