Atlas Copco Demonstrates Wide Array Of Technologies At WEFTEC 2021

Atlas Copco Compressors returned in person to the Water Environment Federation’s annual WEFTEC show in 2021, after attending as an exhibitor at the 2020 virtual event. The upcoming technical exhibition and conference was held at the McCormick Place exhibition center in Chicago, Ill. from October 16-20. Known as ‘The Water Quality Event’, WEFTEC joins the full breadth of the water sector in one place, providing a forum for visitors to explore, learn, network, develop professionally, and strengthen their connections to the water community.

“We’re excited to reconnect in person with professionals from across the water industry,” said Jeff Stallmer, vice-president, Atlas Copco low-pressure solutions. “We have many technological advancements that we will showcase at WEFTEC – all designed with the customer in mind.”

The dedicated Atlas Copco blower team was present to demonstrate the benefits of the brand’s many product features including integrated controls, coated bearings, VSD (VFD) drives, magnetic bearings, and remote monitoring systems, among others. Through display machines and interactive presentations, visitors explored the technologies up close.

Atlas Copco Compressors offers seven different blower and aeration technologies for wastewater treatment. Having a complete range ensures the company is selecting the best blower technology for the application over its lifetime; when the cost of purchase, electricity usage, and service (downtime) costs are factored in.
