For a growing Lobito operation, a 75 kW unit may provide the right step up in capacity when current air supply is limiting oil and gas production or workshop activity.
Typical planning role: a plant-wide air station or large process-air network.
For the type of oil and gas and steel work associated with this Lobito page, the design emphasis is air quality, documentation, safety review and reliable pressure. Those items have a direct effect on reliability and operating cost. This forms part of the technical review for the 75 kW Lobito quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
One realistic design case for this page is a mixed base load from oil and gas equipment and short peaks from pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support. The 75 kW unit supplies about 13 m³/min at a typical 7 bar reference point, but the decision must be checked at the site’s actual pressure and simultaneous demand.
What the complete compressed-air package must solve
01 · Demand
Map the working air profile
For oil and gas in Lobito, list the equipment behind maintenance, instrumentation support, valve control and workshop duties and separate steady consumers from short peaks. This determines whether 75 kW is a base-load match or only one part of the final system.
02 · Air treatment
Protect the sensitive point of use
The package should address air quality, documentation, safety review and reliable pressure. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive oil and gas application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. For Lobito, the 75 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
03 · Control
Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data
Where steel 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 detail is confirmed during the 75 kW site-planning stage for Lobito.
Local operating profile
Design priorities for Lobito
Within the Lobito proposal, those conditions are reflected in the supporting equipment selected around the 75 kW compressor.
For this 75 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the oil and gas process instead of treating them as optional extras. The final 75 kW proposal for Lobito will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.

Before we price the machine
Five questions for the Lobito quotation
Is the demand steady, cyclical or strongly variable during the day?
What air quality is required after the dryer and filters?
Is there an existing receiver, dryer or ring main that will remain in service?
What electrical supply is available at the proposed compressor position?
How will hot discharge air leave the compressor room?
Three ways to package the 75 kW compressor
Integrate into an existing air station
Supply the compressor for connection to a suitable existing receiver, dryer and distribution system in Lobito. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. For the 75 kW Lobito proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
Complete production-air package
Combine the 75 kW machine with a reviewed 3 000–5 000 L receiver range, refrigeration dryer, pre-filter, coalescing filter and automatic drains for the oil and gas duty. The final 75 kW proposal for Lobito will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
Growth and uptime package
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future steel demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. For the 75 kW Lobito proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. In the Lobito quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 75 kW system.
Questions specific to this 75 kW Lobito brief
List every air user that can run together, its required pressure and the operating hours. The 75 kW model is rated at about 13 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 oil and gas duty. For the 75 kW Lobito proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
Fixed-speed can suit a stable base load. VSD is normally considered when the oil and gas demand changes materially through the shift. A simple air-demand profile is the best way to compare energy use rather than choosing VSD automatically. This forms part of the technical review for the 75 kW Lobito quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
3 000–5 000 L is a practical starting range, but the receiver must be checked against demand peaks, control method and available space. Short events linked to maintenance, instrumentation support, valve control and workshop duties may justify more storage instead of oversizing the compressor.
Most production systems benefit from a matched refrigeration dryer and filtration. The required dew point and filter grade depend on the oil and gas process; sensitive instruments or product-contact risks may require a different air-quality design. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 75 kW Lobito package from a generic equipment-only quote.
