Speak directly with the engineering and fabrication team responsible for your vessel
Custom Air Receiver Tanks Built Around Your Plant
An industrial air receiver tank stores compressed air, stabilises system pressure and provides reserve capacity during periods of peak demand. A correctly specified receiver can also reduce excessive compressor cycling and allow moisture to separate as the compressed air cools.
For industrial applications, selecting an air receiver involves more than choosing a tank capacity from a catalogue. The vessel must suit the compressor output, demand profile, operating pressure, design conditions, available space, connection points, inspection access and applicable compliance requirements.
Promec Engineering works directly with engineers, project managers, maintenance teams and procurement managers to define these requirements before design and fabrication begin. The result is a custom air receiver tank engineered around the plant—not a standard vessel that forces the surrounding pipework, foundations and equipment layout to be changed.
When Industrial Buyers Contact Promec
Promec Engineering can assist when:
- An existing air receiver has failed inspection or reached the end of its service life
- A replacement must fit an established footprint, support arrangement or piping layout
- Compressor capacity or plant demand has increased and the existing receiver is undersized
- Pressure instability or excessive compressor cycling is affecting production
- A new project requires a vertical or horizontal receiver designed to specification
- A mining or remote-site project requires robust construction and a defined documentation package
- A water treatment or processing facility needs materials and connections suited to its operating environment
- A shutdown, expansion or equipment upgrade has created a firm delivery deadline
- The owner, insurer, auditor or regulator requires clearer vessel records and certification information
If you already have a datasheet, drawing or equipment specification, send it to Promec Engineering for review. If the project is still being defined, the engineering team can identify the information required to progress towards a quotation.
Air Receiver Tanks for Mining, Water Treatment and Industrial Processing
Promec Engineering designs and fabricates custom AS1210 air receiver tanks in Sydney for industrial projects across Australia. Each vessel can be engineered around the operating conditions, compressed-air demand, available footprint, connection requirements and documentation specified for the application.
Mining and Remote Operations
Mining operations rely on compressed air for pneumatic equipment, instrumentation, controls and critical processing systems. Promec Engineering can fabricate vertical or horizontal AS 1210 air receivers around remote-site conditions, restricted installation areas, required connection points, maintenance access and project documentation.
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Air receivers may support pneumatic controls, actuated valves, instrumentation and other compressed-air systems used throughout water and wastewater treatment facilities. Promec works with project engineers and plant teams to develop vessels suited to the required materials, pressure conditions, site layout and connection points.
Manufacturing and Industrial Processing
Manufacturing and processing plants use air receivers to stabilise pressure, provide reserve capacity and manage changing compressed-air demand.
Promec can design replacement or new vessels for production facilities, power generation, food processing and other industrial applications where catalogue equipment does not suit the plant. Also, Material selection affects corrosion resistance, maintenance requirements, expected service life and the final fabrication scope. If the material has not yet been confirmed, read our guide to choosing the best material for an industrial air receiver tank, including carbon steel, 304, 316, Duplex and aluminium.
Every industry presents different operating, installation and documentation requirements. Promec Engineering works directly with engineers, maintenance teams and procurement managers to define these requirements before fabrication begins.

How Do You Size an Industrial Air Receiver Tank?
The correct air receiver tank capacity depends on the compressor’s free-air delivery, peak compressed-air demand, acceptable pressure drop, required buffer time and compressor control method. Tank size should not be selected from compressor power or a catalogue capacity alone.
Receiver capacity should be based on the compressor’s output, operating pressure range, peak demand and required buffer time. For a more detailed explanation, read our guide to choosing the right industrial air receiver tank size for an operating compressed-air system.
As a preliminary industry guide, approximately 10–15 litres of receiver capacity per litre per second of compressor output is sometimes used. For example, a compressor delivering 50 litres per second may indicate an initial receiver capacity of approximately 500–750 litres. However, this is only a starting estimate—not a final vessel selection. Atlas Copco’s air-receiver guidance gives the same general range.
Information Required to Confirm Receiver Capacity
Promec Engineering considers:
- Compressor free-air delivery in L/s or m³/min
- Normal operating and maximum design pressure
- Minimum acceptable system pressure
- Peak compressed-air demand
- Required duration of stored-air support
- Compressor loading and unloading controls
- Permitted compressor cycling frequency
- Existing pipework and system storage
- Future plant expansion requirements
- Available installation space and vessel orientation
Systems with rapid demand spikes, narrow pressure bands, multiple compressors or critical process requirements may need a calculated storage volume rather than a rule-of-thumb selection. AS1210 compliance addresses the vessel’s pressure design and manufacture; it does not, by itself, determine the correct storage capacity for the compressed-air system.
Send Promec your compressor output, pressure range and peak-demand information to have the required air receiver capacity reviewed.
Engineering and Fabrication Process for Custom Air Receiver Tanks
Promec Engineering manages each custom air receiver tank from the initial technical review through to fabrication, inspection and delivery. This connected approach helps ensure the finished vessel reflects the approved design, operating requirements and installation conditions.
1. Project Requirements Are Reviewed
Promec begins by reviewing the required capacity, design pressure, operating temperature, vessel orientation, connection points, installation space and applicable project specifications. Existing drawings, vessel data and site measurements can also be assessed for replacement projects.
2. The Vessel Is Engineered for the Application
The air receiver tank is designed around the actual compressed-air system rather than adapted from a standard catalogue model. Vessel dimensions, material selection, nozzle locations, supports, inspection openings and lifting provisions are developed to suit the application.
3. Drawings and Design Details Are Confirmed
Promec prepares the required drawings and engineering details for review before fabrication begins. This allows the client, engineering consultant or project team to confirm critical dimensions, connections and installation requirements before materials are cut.
4. Materials Are Procured and Verified
Pressure-vessel-grade materials are selected according to the approved design and agreed project requirements. Material identification and traceability records can be maintained where required by the documentation scope.
5. Fabrication Is Completed by Qualified Tradespeople
The vessel is fabricated by experienced welders and tradespeople working from the approved drawings and relevant welding procedures. Forming, fit-up, welding, connections and supports are completed with quality controls applied throughout fabrication.
6. Inspection, Testing and Documentation Are Completed
The finished air receiver tank undergoes the inspections and pressure testing required by the agreed project scope. Documentation may include design calculations, material records, welding documentation, inspection reports and pressure-test results. Independent verification can also be incorporated when required.
7. The Completed Vessel Is Prepared for Delivery
After final acceptance, the air receiver tank is prepared for transport to the nominated Australian project site. Promec can also account for practical lifting, handling and installation requirements during the engineering stage.
How Much Does a Custom Air Receiver Tank Cost?
The cost of a custom air receiver tank depends on its capacity, design pressure, materials, configuration and compliance requirements. Promec Engineering prices each vessel against the actual application because a fixed catalogue price cannot accurately account for the engineering, fabrication, testing and documentation required for a custom AS1210 air receiver.
What Affects the Price of an Air Receiver Tank?
The main cost factors include:
- Required vessel capacity
- Design pressure and operating temperature
- Vertical or horizontal configuration
- Carbon steel, stainless steel or specified materials
- Vessel diameter, length and wall thickness
- Number and position of nozzles, flanges and inspection openings
- Supports, mounting arrangements and lifting points
- AS1210 design calculations and engineering requirements
- Independent design verification or inspection
- Welding, testing and material-traceability documentation
- Surface preparation, painting or protective coatings
- Freight and delivery requirements
Why Promec Does Not Advertise One Standard Price
Two air receiver tanks with a similar capacity can have very different engineering and fabrication requirements. Higher pressures, restricted installation spaces, specialised connections, stainless-steel construction or extensive documentation can significantly affect the final cost.
Promec provides a project-specific quotation so buyers understand what is included and can compare suppliers on the complete scope—not an incomplete starting price that increases once engineering and compliance requirements are added.
What Should You Provide for an Accurate Quote?
The information needed for accurate pricing is listed in the RFQ section below. Send Promec any available vessel data, drawings or operating requirements—even when the complete specification has not yet been finalised.
