  • Complete Blower Package Results In Quiet Operation, Easy Maintenance
    9/21/2016

    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.

  • Why ASME PTC10 Is Not Sufficient To Define Testing Of A High Speed Turbo Blower
    1/22/2016

    The technology to produce low pressure air, an energy intensive ingredient in the wastewater process, has made significant steps forward in recent years. Unfortunately, the specifications for testing these new sophisticated air producers have not kept pace.

  • 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 While an outdated oil heating system contributed to the overall inefficiency, the plant’s 30-year-old multistage centrifugal aeration blowers accounted for as much as 80 percent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.

  • 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.

Kaeser has been designing and manufacturing superior industrial machinery since 1919. With over 100 years of manufacturing experience, we pride ourselves on upholding our traditions of quality and craftsmanship. Our reputation for reliability, energy efficiency, and excellent service has helped us grow into a global leader in blower and compressed air technology.

The Hoffman Revolution is the world’s most advanced blower energy management system. The culmination of blower design and leadership delivers a new standard in efficiency and environmental protection. The first high speed centrifugal in its class—designed, built, and tested in the United States of America. Through advanced technologies, the Revolution delivers up to 45% energy savings, provides increased reliability with little or no maintenance, and comes factory prewired and tested in an ergonomically designed sound enclosure for plug-and-play operation.

Mass Transfer Systems offers air blowers for aeration systems, the bulk of which are either multistage cetrifugal or positive displacement blowers. MTS can provide technical assistance in selecting the blowers to best fit your project.

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.

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.

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.

The groundbreaking Delta Hybrid Rotary Lobe Compressor is the result of a synergy between the rotary lobe blower and the screw compressor technologies and offers completely new possibilities by combining the technical advantages of both concepts.

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.
