Thank you for your reply.

Can you send me more details about the guidelines for
determine these air plant capacity?

Like per unit in the refinery, or per number of
utility stations?
Also if you have and can spare some guidelines for
instrument air and nitrogen.

Thank you very much.

I think that this book may have charts for such utility uses.
