  • Self-Tuning System Provides Big Leap In DO Control

    The City of Cumberland (MD) wastewater treatment plant could see wild swings in its dissolved oxygen (DO) levels until it replaced its air control system with Aerzen AERprocess, an intelligent airflow control system. Now, the city enjoys vastly improved DO control in individual zones and across the entire process, as well as significant savings on its energy bills.

  • Switch To Hybrid Blowers Offsets 68% Electrical Rate Increase For WWTP
    3/2/2016

    The Old Orchard Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) serves the town of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, a coastal resort community where the population swells from 9,000 year-round residents to 75,000 in late June through early August, when seasonal residents and day trippers descend for the peak summer months.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How To Choose The Right Aeration Blower System For Your Wastewater Treatment Plant
    3/4/2013

    By comparing four types of aeration blowers designed specifically for wastewater treatment, this white paper educates engineers on how to develop a selection process best suited for their operation. The paper focuses on minimizing energy consumption and total cost of ownership of the aeration blower system. Download this white paper for a detailed comparison of real operating data on aeration blower technology.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
