My simple question is: Can it be done? I have a pretty decent sized air compressor in my garage, a portable compressed air tank, and a large wand-like air "broom". And if it can, what pressure should I put in the tank?
I wouldn't. I'd be afraid of petroleum-based oil getting aerosoled into the wort. I guess you could use a hepa filter, but anything past that would probably have to be degreased.

I think you're over thinking it. Just pour some juice out of the bottle into your fermenter, put the lid back on the bottle and shake the heck out it. This will introduce plenty of oxygen. Pour the shaken juice into the fermenter and you'll be fine.
The topic of the thread isn't about what works, we all have methods that work, its about the possibility of using an air compressor as an additional method to aerate wort.
I think the majority of the posts in this thread have suggested that using a compressor is a bad idea, and have suggested simpler methods that will achieve the aeration goal.
Since the OP has not responded to this thread in 10 months, maybe he came to that conclusion too.
