Understanding the Core Components

A frequently demanded solution is a fully assembled and integrated Compressed Air station, including all the necessary piping and cabling (power and control) within the battery limits of the package. Such a system would include, at least, the following equipment/components:

 

Air Compressors

Air compressors come in various types, including rotary screw, reciprocating, scroll, and centrifugal Rotary screw compressors are compact and ideal for smaller plants.

They offer reliable, low-maintenance operation due to their simple design without valves. These compressors produce compressed air at the desired pressure, making them a popular choice for instrument air applications.

 

Air Dryers

Air dryers remove water vapor from compressed air, ensuring dry and clean air for various applications. Adsorption dryers are commonly used in EPC contracts for instrument air.

They can reduce the dew point to below the lowest site temperature, preventing moisture-related issues in critical systems.

 

Air Filters

Inlet air filters are essential for removing dust, dirt, and other contaminants from atmospheric air before it enters a system. This ensures clean air quality, which is crucial for maintaining optimal system performance and preventing damage.

Oil and particle filters are also used to remove contaminants from the oil, further contributing to clean air quality.

 

Air Receivers

An air receiver that stores a volume of compressed air. They are used when the compressor is offline, or when the air demand temporarily exceeds the compressor output.

 

 

Control Systems

The PLC controls the compressor based on process demand, using network pressure as a reference.

Advanced MPCs communicate with DCS and ESD systems to provide further control of the compressed air station.

 

 

Guidelines for Choosing Your Package

 Instrument & Service Air Packages

 

Technical Specifications Analysis

Careful review of technical specs is key. Knowing the details of your project, the quality standards, and environmental certifications is the starting point for picking the right instrument air system. Ingersoll Rand’s know-how makes sure your choice of equipment and vendors meets these critical specs

 

Product Configuration & Project Integration

Opting for a setup that's easy to configure can cut costs significantly. You must think about how the system will operate, the power it needs, the space it takes, how it’s maintained, and control needs. All these factors ensure the system you choose fits well with your plan and project.

 

Engineered Air Compressor Packages

Engineered compressor packages tailored to your project's technical, regulatory, financial, and safety demands are often the best pick. These custom solutions are popular among customers and EPC projects for their precise fit.

 

 

Air Quality Standards

The system you select must clean air to meet a variety of quality standards for different uses in your plant. Following ISO 8573 classifications or ISA-7.0.01-1996 standards is crucial for choosing the right air purification gear.

 

 

Energy Usage

With the growing need for energy in industrial settings, choosing energy-efficient equipment is vital. Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) can save money in operations where air demand changes, while fixed speed compressors may be better for steady demand.

 

 

Global Supplier Flexibility

A supplier with a wide range of products, expertise in their application, and skills in project management is essential. The ability to meet the specific needs of customers and projects means you get a strong and dependable solution.

 

Project management

Solid project management is crucial to ensure that equipment is designed, delivered, tested, and started up to meet the needs of your project. Suppliers with focused project management teams bring added worth through every stage of your project.
