Pneumatech offers receivers in a large variety of sizes (60 to 5000 gallons) and treatments to suit your needs. These can be used for compressed air or inert gases like nitrogen.
Vessels have several functions: they stabilize pressure peaks and provide stable air or nitrogen flow; have a storage function in case of high consumption; and help with the preliminary separation and removal of condensate.
Pneumatech offers a wide range of vessels capable of handling pressures up to 16 barg / 232 psig. They are available in 3 types: painted, galvanized and vitrified. Painted vessels are generally used where receivers are not subjected to extreme weather conditions and perfectly clean air is not an absolute requirement.
