While the typical lifetime of a blower is between 15-20 years, the technology in this field has made great strides. Do you have an older technology like lobe, multistage or old geared centrifugal installed? Then it might be time to replace your installation.

By doing so, you can reduce your energy consumption by 30% or more. Just based on these expenses, a new blower could pay for itself after 2-5 years, depending on the specifics of the wastewater operation.

Are you looking to upgrade to a more advanced control and monitoring system? Many outdated blowers have very basic controls, which limits your ability to optimize their performance. If you want to monitor and control these units correctly, you might want to consider upgrading to new units that allow you to connect your SCADA system with these units.
