WASTEWATER BLOWER ARTICLES

  • Complete Blower Package Results In Quiet Operation, Easy Maintenance

    Until 2012, the Kaufman, TX, Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operated two separate aeration basins with mechanical surface aerators. As the plant’s equipment aged and required more frequent and expensive repairs and maintenance, the City of Kaufman followed its engineering firm’s recommendation to install a new, more efficient, fine bubble-diffused air system rather than simply replacing its old mixers with in-kind equipment.

Capacity bottlenecks or production losses are scenarios feared in every company and require a fast and efficient solution. AERZEN offers 24/7 solutions to overcome problems arising in the supply of oil-free air for various application cases.

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.

Kaeser Compressors’ has extended its product range with the addition of PillAerator turbo blowers with magnetic bearing technology. Thanks to the direct-drive, active magnetic bearing motor and intelligent control system, the PillAerator turbo blower boasts an energy savings advantage over conventional rotary blowers up to 25%. With single unit flows up to 10,500 cfm, the PillAerator significantly expands Kaeser's solutions for water and wastewater applications.

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.

Kaeser has been a leader in creating fully packaged blower systems that are reliable, durable, energy-efficient, and simple to maintain. Our line of Com-paK blower packages set the standard in the blower industry.

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 a rotary screw blower?
Screw compressors delivering compressed air below 1.5 bar(g) are referred to as (rotary) screw blowers. The working principles of a screw blower are thus identical to those of a rotary screw compressor.

Aerzen’s AERprocess Dissolved Oxygen Control is an integrated solution for controlling the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in the activated sludge treatment process and the blowers used to generate the process air flow requirement.
