What matters when specifying a compressor in Secunda

This Secunda page is a planning guide for selecting, installing and supporting rotary screw compressors across sasol, chemicals and related industrial applications. For the Secunda compressor range, this point is checked against the submitted operating data before the final scope is issued.

For this process-manufacturing environment, the first design priority is measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability. The final system should also allow practical access for routine servicing and future production changes. The final Secunda quotation explains how this affects equipment selection and site work.

Three compressed-air pathways for Secunda

Sasol

Support pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support

The proposal should focus on measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability. Flow should be calculated from equipment that can run together rather than from a single nameplate value. This is part of the technical brief used to build the Secunda compressed-air package.

Chemicals

Plan around instrument air, valve actuation, transfer support and packaging equipment

For this workload, the system needs air quality, safe condensate handling, ventilation and dependable pressure control. Receiver capacity and control method should match the rhythm of the production cycle. The final Secunda quotation explains how this affects equipment selection and site work.

Chemicals

Allow for instrument air, valve actuation, transfer support and packaging equipment

A practical design checks air quality, safe condensate handling, ventilation and dependable pressure control while keeping service components and condensate drains easy to reach. The final Secunda quotation explains how this affects equipment selection and site work.

The flow shown is a typical reference at 7 bar. Confirm the required operating pressure and model-specific data before ordering. This point is included in the application review for the Secunda air system.

Prepare a better enquiry

Information that makes the Secunda quotation accurate

  1. Are there short high-flow events that should be handled by storage rather than extra motor size?
  2. Which tools, machines or valves can operate at the same time?
  3. What is the minimum pressure required at the furthest point of use?
  4. How many hours per shift will the compressor run, and how many shifts are worked?
  5. Is the demand steady, cyclical or strongly variable during the day?
  6. What air quality is required after the dryer and filters?

System decisions beyond compressor kW

Pressure at the point of use

Set the system from the minimum pressure required by the sasol equipment, then calculate real losses through pipework, filters and the dryer.

Storage and demand peaks

Use the receiver to stabilise controls and absorb short events. Longer sustained demand must be supplied by compressor flow, not storage alone. This is assessed specifically when preparing the Secunda compressor recommendation.

Air quality and condensate

Select the dryer and filters for the most sensitive chemicals application, with drains and condensate management included in the maintenance plan. For Secunda, this requirement is confirmed before a compressor size is recommended.

Frequently asked questions for Secunda

Local service planning

air compressor service and repairs for Secunda

Service support in Secunda is more productive when nameplate, alarms, hours and access details are supplied before travel. The exact service scope should follow model, hours, duty and observed condition.

Planned service

Maintenance prepared by model and hours

Oil, filters, separator, drive, cooling, drains and controls are scoped from the exact machine.

Breakdown support

Evidence before parts replacement

Alarms, pressure, temperature, current and behaviour help separate component, demand, ventilation and pipework faults in Secunda.

Service contracts

Records and forward planning

Planned visits, reporting, open actions and critical-spares planning can be aligned to the industrial operations duty.

System checks

Compressor, dryer, receiver and distribution

Air treatment, drains, storage, leaks and point-of-use pressure can be included where they affect the problem.
