By: Stian Osmundsen Project overview Our part in this small-scale CO2 project is to make captured CO2 usable in food-grade applications where the CO2 is in compressed and liquefied form. Plant capacity is 80 kg per CO2 per hour. Functional description in short: Our system is a plug and play system which is totally integrated towards the main DCS on the customer side. All values and settings are available in the main [...]

Compressed air in an energy perspective - specific energy
High energy costs force more focus on energy-efficient solutions. For us, this means that the benefit of what we work on every day becomes more apparent to our customers in the form of significant reductions by making the right move.
Fast delivery of compressors from stock
Today, there are many manufacturers and suppliers who have delivery problems and extremely long lead times for compressors and finishing equipment. The situation does not appear to improve in the short term. Throughout the entire COVID pandemic, there have been challenges related to deliveries of certain components. Nevertheless, we and our suppliers have been spared the biggest challenge and managed to deliver, with a slightly longer delivery time than normal. At the same time, our […]
Is your company throwing money out the window?
Base your decision on facts and not assumptions, it pays off. In 2019, we saved our customers approx. 30% based on measurements of 3487 kW.Stian Osmundsen, Managing Director Related article: Makes the compressor system more efficient How can we help you? Choosing the right compressor is more important than ever. During a 5-year period, electricity costs represent up to 87% of the total costs of a compressed air system. In many cases, there are simple […]
H2-DRY – drying for Hydrogen gas
Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas that must be handled with care, and hydrogen dryers for compressed hydrogen are usually custom-made to meet specific project requirements. Provided that the level of oxygen (or other reactive component) is reduced to a minimum in the gas mixture, several versions are available, based on operating pressure, temperature and desired pressure dew point. Regeneration The type of regeneration is thermally regenerated. Depending on the existence and type of fluids available to perform this regeneration/cooling, we adapt [...]
ACHILLES JQS ID 27218- DISCONTINUES
After 10 years of membership in the JQS network, we have decided to end the membership. We do this as a result of not using buyers. And that many oil-related companies have their own routines and procedures for qualifying suppliers. This means that the Achilles network does not meet expectations. We are a member of two other Achilles networks, UNCE and StartBANK, where buyers are active and use the portal. Our Achilles JQS ID […]

Covid19 – force majeure
To our partners, suppliers & customers We have reached a situation that is both uncertain and difficult. Vestec, like many other players, depends on deliveries from our subcontractors and partners. If a situation should arise where we or our subcontractors are unable to receive/deliver goods or carry out work, we will have to stop work at short or no notice. This situation is very special and lies [...]
EFFECTIVE COMPRESSOR SYSTEM
Being competitive is more important than ever. During 2019, Vestec carried out measurements for the benefit of many existing and new customers. During 2019, he logged more than 3500 kW and achieved a saving in energy costs for our customers of around 30,1%. This is a significant saving regardless of the size of the compressor system. Increase in analysis capacity Vestec announced at the beginning of 2019 that an increase in capacity for logging [...]
Leakage detection – an effective piggy bank
In a compressed air system, leaks occur over time. These leaks are very resource-intensive for companies. A hole of 1 mm in diameter will, with a pressure of 6 bar, release 1,3 liters per second. Converted into power, this corresponds to 0,3 kW. At 8000 operating hours during a year and if you calculate that the electricity costs just under NOK 1/kwh, this adds up to NOK 2160. Example: Hole Ø [...]
