  • 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.

  • Self-Tuning System Provides Big Leap In DO Control
    5/4/2021

    The City of Cumberland (MD) wastewater treatment plant could see wild swings in its dissolved oxygen (DO) levels until it replaced its air control system with Aerzen AERprocess, an intelligent airflow control system. Now, the city enjoys vastly improved DO control in individual zones and across the entire process, as well as significant savings on its energy bills.

  • Los Alamos WWTP Gains Turndown Capability And Saves Energy With Hybrid Blowers
    7/14/2015

    Los Alamos, NM, the former site of topsecret laboratories where government scientists developed the atomic bomb during World War II, is once again a town at the forefront of new technology.

  • Freeport Wastewater Treatment Plant Saves Money And Energy With Hybrid Blowers
    9/30/2013

    Best known as the home of outdoor retailer L.L. Bean, the community of Freeport is a popular summer destination on the shore of Casco Bay in southern coastal Maine. In 2010, the Freeport Sewer District brought in engineering firm Woodard & Curran (also of Freeport), to conduct an energy analysis of the Freeport Wastewater Treatment Facility. The assessment revealed that the Freeport plant consumed more than 8.9 kBtu per gallon of wastewater treated, more than double the national average of 4.1 kBtu per gallon. While an outdated oil heating system contributed to the overall inefficiency, the plant’s 30-year-old multistage centrifugal aeration blowers accounted for as much as 80 percent of the electricity consumption.

Volume flow intakes from 2000 cfm to 8000 cfm Direct Driven, High Speed Turbo Blowers

System controls are critical to a wastewater blower system. Without them, a system with multiple blowers operating on their individual controls will run more than necessary and result in wasted energy. Maintenance costs increase and worst of all: process performance suffers.

Gardner Denver’s factory-built IQ® PD blower package is a fully integrated package with many energy efficient options, such as Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and high efficiency motors, which typically operate 3 to 5% more efficiently than standard motors.

Kaeser screw blowers use up to 35 percent less energy than conventional rotary blowers and even achieve significant energy savings compared to currently available screw blowers. The combination of a blower airend with high efficiency Sigma profile rotors, flow-optimized components, efficient power transmission and drive components ensures exceptional performance, guaranteed by Kaeser in accordance with the stringent requirements of ISO 1217.

What is turbo blower technology?
Energy consumption is the biggest operational cost for a blower. By choosing an energy-efficient compressed air technology, you can drastically reduce your operational costs. High speed turbo blowers are known for their highly efficient operation, resulting in low energy consumption and total cost of ownership. We offer you a broad range of ZB VSD⁺ turbo blowers so we can always provide the optimal solution for every application.

The Generation 5 Delta Blower offers considerable sound reductions, so expensive measures such as special acoustic hoods are no longer required.

AERZEN MultiCore series turbo blowers allow for a wide range of operation with airflow delivery of 15000 cfm and above. With over 6 to 1 turndown utilizing multiple cores, the AERZEN MultiCore series provides flexibility to users needing a wide range of flows. AERZEN MultiCore Turbo blowers utilize one user interface and come standard with one discharge connection allowing the easiest installation and operation of its kind. This addition to the Aerzen Turbo product line allows for efficient operation with largest volume airflow delivery which once again allows AERZEN customers to expect performance.

Long-lasting performance, and the highest oxygen-transfer rates of any mechanical aeration system on the market.
