1. Turbo Blower Technology Saves Money And Energy For City Of Adelanto WWTP 10/27/2014

   The City of Adelanto, Calif., wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) receives an average flow of 2.2 million gallons per day (MGD), but had a permit that allowed treatment of only 1.5 MGD.

2. Wastewater Treatment Plant Reduces Energy Consumption, Noise With Turbo Blower Technology 6/24/2013

   Built in 1974, the Blue River Wastewater Treatment Plant in Silverthorne, Colorado, provides wastewater services to the communities of Silverthorne, Dillon, Dillon Valley, Buffalo Mountain, and Mesa Cortina. Faced with rising energy costs and aging equipment, the Silverthorne-Dillon Joint Sewer Authority (JSA) identified a need to replace the plant’s original multistage centrifugal blowers with new technology that would reduce energy consumption and provide steady and reliable operation.

3. How Automated Real-Time Controls Can Provide More Consistency In Wastewater Treatment Operations 3/19/2015

   Within a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), operators typically face an extremely wide range of different variabilities.

4. Activating The Sludge In Small Municipal Facultative Waste Lagoon Systems 6/2/2015

   Wastewater treatment lagoons were originally facultative in design — shallow, single and multi-cell lagoon systems that counted on wind, sunlight, anaerobic bacteria, and time for the digestion of the organic components of the wastewater.

5. CAGI Data Sheets: Blower Performance Comparison Technical White Paper 2/13/2018

   Comparing blower performances across different manufacturers and technologies has long been a difficult task. For many years, it was all too easy to present data that, although accurate, was potentially misleading. Manufacturers were selective about what information they published as well as what conditions they chose to specify performance. The result was a numbers game the buyer frequently lost. Fortunately, the Compressed Air and Gas Institute (CAGI), in cooperation with its members, has developed a tool for a fair comparison between blowers.

6. Upgrade To Diffused Aeration Results In Significant Energy Savings 12/12/2013

   After 35 years of use,  the fiberglass jet aeration manifolds in the Western Regional Water Reclamation Plant (Dayton, Ohio) had deteriorated, rendering four of eight wastewater aeration tanks inoperable. Managers recognized an opportunity to utilize a fine bubble diffused aeration system that eliminated the need for the pumps. The result: higher oxygen-transfer efficiency and reduced power costs to operate the system.

7. Anglian Water To Use Atlas Copco ZS Blowers At Wastewater Treatment Re-Development Sites 7/9/2012

   Anglian Water, one of the UK’s largest water and wastewater treatment companies - operating over 1000 wastewater treatment works in the East of England - has chosen Atlas Copco’s low-pressure ZS blowers to supply air to the aeration diffusers at four of its wastewater treatment re-development sites.

8. Northumbrian Water Opts For Energy Efficient Atlas Copco Screw Blower Technology 7/2/2014

   Northumbrian Water, a leading provider of water and sewerage services in the North East of England, has chosen Atlas Copco screw blower technology to help reduce energy consumption and minimize service costs at its sewage treatment works in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.

9. Technical White Paper: Energy Efficiency Of Twin Screw Blowers Compared To Rotary Lobe Blowers 7/1/2010

   In order to achieve a significant improvement in energy efficiency in the technology of air blowers for small volume flows, a technology step is needed. The step to achieve significant progress in energy efficiency in the low-pressure market is taken by introducing blowers using internal compression instead of external compression.

10. Aeration Blowers In The Wastewater Industry In North America 1/13/2010

    The economical operation of a wastewater treatment plant depends largely on the design and the interplay of the aeration and process controls. Moreover, the human factor and the management objectives are at the heart of the plant’s reality and should also be taken into consideration. Selection and thoughtful integration of all the subsystems is of paramount importance. By Aerzen
