[Dsg-rich] RICH compressors successfully powered

[Walt Akers]

Carroll:

Because you have experience with this, can you recommend
a cost effective approach that will address the problem...  I'm
available if you need to take a look at the unit and the
surrounding drains.

Air compressor manufacturers offer condensate management systems to trap the oil in the compressed air condensate.  ESH&Q actually maintains a list of site condensate management systems protecting the HRSD sanitary system from oil.

Atlas Copco also provides condensate management systems (https://www.atlascopco.com/en-us/compressors/products/condensate-treatment).

We then let the compressor run until it turned itself off when reaching an output pressure of 70 psi. After this, we stopped the compressor and vented the attached gas tank. We also got the MAC address for this compressor and Brian has contacted Sergey to get an IP address assigned to the compressor. The compressor's emergency stop button has been pressed, preventing the compressor output from being enabled.

Thank you to Walt for quickly arranging the short-notice electrical work that needed to be done today. Also, thank you to Paul and Joshua, the Atlas Copco representatives, for helping us get the compressors running.
