  • How To Select The Most Effective Blower Technology For Wastewater Applications
    9/16/2014

    Given numerous variables when selecting an aeration blower system for wastewater applications, and equally numerous claims by technology providers, it is not surprising that confusion exists. Worse than confusion is the disappointment that results when a blower technology fails to perform as anticipated — and operating cost and efficiency benefits go unrealized.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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Wastewater Treatment Plant in West Virginia chooses not to fix a broken blower unit, but rather to correct an outdated approach.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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
