The system comprised two 500 litre air receivers designed to ASME, U stamped and hot dipped galvanized to provide the required corrosion resistance, and a stainless steel electric control panel.
The compressor has a 30 bar outlet pressure and 16.5m3/hr delivery to fill each receiver in less than an hour.
