Compression tank makers?

in THE MAIN WALL
I recall someone posting here, a while ago, a company that makes small 10-15 gal compression ( no bladder) tanks. I've lost the bookmark so if you can post your suggestions here, I'd appreciate it.

It wasn't a big name like Amtrol, Thrush, or B&G.

    Bell and Gossett sells Wessels brand steel compression tanks
    in that size and larger ones as well.

    I have a 15 gallon steel compression tank hanging in the
    ceiling of my boiler/laundry room.

    You can order them from your local Bell and Gossett dealer.

    Are you replacing a galvanized tank that has reached its useful
    life or doing a new installation?

    Adding an airtrol and probably won't be able to get the 1/2" plug out of the existing tank. So, I'll put in both new.

    These look really small, smaller then Wessels makes.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Go with galvanized or plain steel? Piping is copper.

    A shop in Wisconsin welds them, I’ll find the name. Or Wessel directly.

    I think they will sell directly to you?

    They are awesome! Very nice people, and like the name says, QUALITY. I'm very happy with my Quality tank. My highest recommendation.
    They own two fabrication businesses that operate out of the same building.
