Every air duty on a vessel, covered
Open each duty to see typical pressure, the recommended series and a real reference project.
Charges starting-air receivers so main and auxiliary engines start reliably, including black-out recovery. Piston machines own this duty: above 30 bar, intermittent, highest reliability on board.
- Typical pressure
- 30–40 bar
- Recommended
- ZFC / VFC / WFC piston + receivers
- Reference
- Wison F462 FSRU (RS)
Dry, clean air for control valves and instrumentation, paired with desiccant drying and precision filtration.
- Typical pressure
- 7–8 bar
- Recommended
- Screw + desiccant dryer + filters
- Reference
- PETRONAS Sepat FPSO (BV)
Service air for deck machinery, pneumatic tools, cleaning and maintenance; compact units fit tight engine-room retrofits.
- Typical pressure
- 7–10 bar
- Recommended
- Small belt-driven / medium direct-driven screw
- Reference
- China Energy SHEN HUA series; MSC retrofits
Stable feed air for PSA / membrane nitrogen plants used for inerting and cargo protection; low oil carry-over protects the generator.
- Typical pressure
- 8–13 bar
- Recommended
- Large water-cooled direct-driven screw
- Reference
- 10 chemical tankers; F462 FSRU
Utility and process air for offshore platforms and FPSOs, skid-integrated with DCS communication and long-life design.
- Typical pressure
- 7–13 bar
- Recommended
- Skid-integrated screw packages
- Reference
- CNOOC Kenli 6-1; Sepat FPSO
Blackout recovery topping-up, water-mist firefighting and breathing-air charging for SCBA / EEBD — dedicated solutions with automatic control.
- Typical pressure
- Per owner specification
- Recommended
- Dedicated piston / screw solutions
- Reference
- Class-rule governed circuits
Circuit pressures above are industry-typical ranges; the owner's technical specification and classification-society rules govern the actual design. Dedicated solutions are available for blackout recovery, water-mist firefighting and breathing-air (SCBA / EEBD) charging.
