The depth of the foundation should be beep enough to properly embed the anchor bolts. This would vary based on the size of the equipment. First, consider the mass required for the foundation. Next, consider the 30 degree rule for a stable footprint.
Yes anchor bolts resist upward forces created by the pump.
Yes anchor bolts resist upward forces created by the compressor.
Anchor bolts should be made of steel and conform to ASTM-A36 or ASTM A575-M1020.
The number of anchor bolts are determined by the rotating equipment manufacturer.

When setting anchor bolts it is recommended they are set in a two-part epoxy, Chockfast Grey.
When coring holes in a concrete foundation for anchor bolts, the diameter of the core should be 3 times the bolt diameter.
Epoxy is recommended to be used for setting anchor bolts due to its superior adhesion properties.
The best method for installing anchor bolts is set them in the foundation, inside the rebar cage. This should be done with the required pipe sleeve at the time the foundation is poured.
If the anchor bolt breaks you will need to core drill the broken anchor bolt out and install a new anchor bolt in its place.
The equipment manufacturer should specify the required number of anchor bolts.
Mounting plates should be attached to a foundation with anchor bolts.
When installing an anchor bolt the hole to be cored should be 3 times the bolt diameter.
The non-bonding fill at the top of an anchor bolt can be an elastic material or an expanding foam, Great Stuff for instance.
An anchor bolt should be installed and set with a proper pipe sleeve in the foundation and tied to the rebar cage prior to pouring the foundation.
An anti-pull out is generally a plate or washer at the bottom of the anchor bolt with a nut where the nut or plate is tack welded to the anchor bolt.
