This tender invites bids for the supply and installation of an oil-free high-pressure compressor suitable for filling 30-liter tanks to 200 bar. Key requirements include compliance with safety regulations and a proven track record in high-pressure systems.
The South African Weather Service seeks qualified suppliers to provide and install an oil-free high-pressure compressor at the Cape Point Global Atmospheric Watch station. The compressor must deliver clean, oil-free air suitable for calibration and reference air tanks, ensuring compliance with the Pressure Equipment Regulations and Occupational Health and Safety Act. Bidders must demonstrate experience in high-pressure compressor systems, preferably within the scuba diving or breathing apparatus sectors, and provide evidence of local service and repair capabilities.
The successful bidder will be required to complete the installation within 12 weeks of contract award. The compressor must meet specific technical requirements, including multi-stage compression, a flow rate of 100-150 l/min, and features such as an auto shut-off function and moisture removal capability. This project not only enhances the operational efficiency of the GAW laboratory but also contributes to the integrity of environmental monitoring efforts in South Africa.
This tender is suitable for businesses specializing in high-pressure equipment, particularly those with experience in oil-free compressor systems, environmental monitoring, and compliance with safety regulations. Companies with local service and maintenance capabilities are encouraged to apply.
