  • CAGI Data Sheets: Blower Performance Comparison Technical White Paper

    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.

  • 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.

  • Compressed Air System Leaks: The Cost, Common Culprits, Detection, And Repair
    10/10/2024

    In this paper, we’ll discuss how many companies are losing thousands of dollars each year to compressed air system leaks. We will address where leaks commonly occur, leak detection methods, and practical advice for an audit and repair plan.

  • Smooth Operator
    10/31/2016

    All turbo manufacturers are not created equal. After a different supplier failed to perform, Aerzen’s technology, expertise, and customer service took the Charles River WWTP from extreme frustration to smooth operation.

  • Repair Or Rethink
    8/7/2015

    The Moundsville Wastewater Treatment Plant in West Virginia chooses not to fix a broken blower unit, but rather to correct an outdated approach. The result is a savings of $50-60K a year in energy costs.

WASTEWATER BLOWER PRODUCTS

The new Delta Hybrid direct driven sizes are the technological evolution of the AERZEN screw blower series. The future has just begun thanks to a super efficient newly designed stage with 3+4 rotors profile and a new drive concept for low pressure applications, a reduced footprint with side by side installation, a no-space adder Plug & Play solution with integrated starter, possibility to install IE5 motors and extended turndown ratio up to 1:5. Let yourself be surprised at how easy and cost-saving it is to generate low pressure compressed air.

Aeration is the heart of most industrial and municipal wastewater treatment and we have a new, cutting-edge solution.

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.

Construction and functional principle of a turbo blower of the current AERZEN AT and TB series are simple and at the same time effective. As the air supply of modern wastewater treatment plants is clearly designed for maximum availability, high energy efficiency and long maintenance cycles, AERZEN uses for the demanding bearing system within turbo blowers neither oil nor other lubricants — but simply air.

A flexible solution for all your low-pressure and vacuum applications
Robust ZM oil-free multistage centrifugal blowers and exhausters provide you with the air or gas, pressure or vacuum you need at low maintenance costs.

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

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.
