DO YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY BREAKDOWN SITUATION?
ASSESS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPRESSOR TO DETERMINE LENGTH OF OUTAGE. IF PLANT OPERATION IS CRITICAL, CHECK WITH LOCAL EPA REGULATIONS AND IF AUTHORITY TO RUN DIESEL POWERED PORTABLE COMPRESSORS IS RECEIVED FROM EPA, NOTIFY US - WE WILL HELP IN SECURING DIESEL RENTAL UNITS. THIS SITUATION IS ONLY VIABLE IF DAMAGE CONTROL DETERMINES THAT YOUR COMPRESSOR UNIT HAS ONLY MINOR DAMAGE AND YOU WILL BE CAPABLE OF BRINGING YOUR UNIT BACK ON LINE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. TYPICALLY, THE COST OF DIESEL FUEL COMBINED WITH THE RENTAL RATES EXCEEDS THE COST OF ELECTRIC DRIVEN UNITS IN A MATTER OF WEEKS. IF OUTAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE LONGER THAN TWO WEEKS, THE INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC DRIVEN COMPRESSORS WOULD THEN BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE.
WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW.
- YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR OPERATING PARAMETERS - VOLUME, PRESSURE, HORSEPOWER AND AIR DISCHARGE TEMP.
- ELECTRICAL POWER AVAILABILITY - 4160 VAC AND 480 VAC. AMPERAGE WOULD BE DETERMINED AFTER AIR COMPRESSOR OPERATING PARAMETERS ARE ESTABLISHED.
- SPACE AVAILABILITY - PREFERABLY A LOCATION NEAR THE PLANT AIR MANIFOLD. THIS WOULD SHORTEN THE TIME AND COST OF INSTALLATION. TOTAL AREA WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF COMPRESSORS NEEDED. WE MAY HAVE AVAILABLE SOME HEADER PIPPING ALREADY MADE UP THAT COULD SHORTEN INSTALLATION TIME.
- WATER AVAILABILITY - ONCE THE SIZE AND NUMBER OF COMPRESSORS IS ESTABLISHED, WE CAN THEN SPECIFY THE WATER VOLUME AND PRESSURE NEEDED TO COOL THE ELECTRICAL RENTAL COMPRESSORS. IF WATER IS A PROBLEM, WE HAVE COOLING SYSTEMS AVAILABLE.
- INSTRUMENT AIR REQUIREMENTS - TYPICALLY INSTRUMENT AIR PRESSURE FROM 80 TO 150 PSIG IS REQUIRED TO OPERATE VALVES AND FUNCTION AS SEAL AIR ON START-UP. THE AIR VOLUME REQUIREMENT IS 20 CFM PER UNIT.
