  • 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.

  • Activating The Sludge In Small Municipal Facultative Waste Lagoon Systems
    6/2/2015

    Wastewater treatment lagoons were originally facultative in design — shallow, single and multi-cell lagoon systems that counted on wind, sunlight, anaerobic bacteria, and time for the digestion of the organic components of the wastewater.

  • 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.

  • HST™ Turbocompressor For Sky-High Savings In Wastewater Treatment
    4/1/2020

    The town of Fraser, Colorado, USA, with an annual mean temperature of 32.5°F is the coldest town in the lower 48 states and gets frost year-round. At an elevation of 8’574 feet, it is also the highest location for Sulzer’s HST 20 turbocompressor in the world. The Fraser WWTP high-speed blower upgrade was completed in early 2019, replacing older centrifugal blowers, which were loud and costly to operate.

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.

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.

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.

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.
