The overall wastewater treatment process is complex, and each step is integral to ensuring water is properly purified. Effluent ends up in the plants, containing substances that must be removed before the water can be properly cleaned and returned for use. The range of potential contaminants is almost endless, and can include food, pulp, waste, or other substances. Afterwards, the water requires further scrubbing, with the aid of bacteria. It is in this part of the process that compressed air (ideally provided by energy-efficient rotary lobe blowers) plays a vital role.

It's not always possible to install your equipment in a nice, indoor location. If you need to install your blower outdoors where it will be exposed to the elements, Kaeser offers an outdoor installation kit.
-
To accurately evaluate a blower system’s performance, an Air Demand Analysis (ADA) measures the actual flow, pressure, and power consumption over a set period. This provides a baseline that shows which units are running, when they are running, and how efficient the entire system is in terms of specific performance (kW/100 cfm).
-
Compressed air quality is mission critical in manufacturing. When determining the right air treatment components for a compressed air system, there is a great deal to keep in mind. In this paper, we discuss compressed air quality and how it impacts operating costs and production.
-
With over ten thousand air systems audits under our belt, we've seen it all and learned a few things. One of the most common problems we see is that most systems have far more capacity than needed. On average, users operate at 44% of peak capacity. It's so common, we'd say it is an epidemic, and even our own customers are not immune despite our efforts to inoculate with education. This article takes a look at some actual examples of over-sized systems and the costs that resulted. Learn how to properly plan for a compressed air system and what your options are with an existing system.

Kaeser has expanded its product range with the introduction of magnetic bearing turbo blowers.
Turbo blowers are used wherever pressures as high as 20 psi are needed, e.g. wastewater treatment, aerobic fermentation and flue gas desulphurization.
For flow rates up to 4700 cfm there is the 200 hp series, and the 400 hp series for flow rates up to 10,500 cfm. Both of these model ranges include three PillAerator designs. Each impeller design delivers different pressures and flow rates.
-
For many years, Kaeser has been building custom engineered solutions for our industrial compressor customers, and these are a natural fit for wastewater application. These are complete blower systems in purpose-built enclosures designed for exceptional reliability, simple maintenance, and superior energy efficiency. For new plants or expansions, eliminate costly and time consuming building design, permitting, inspection and construction. Greatly reduce onsite installation and commissioning costs. Reduces noise and ensures proper ventilation and longer life for the blowers. Can be built for any climate or weather conditions.
-
In 2019, Kaeser Compressors assumed control of the venerable line of PillAerator turbo blowers, strengthening its ability to serve the wastewater industry — or wherever else atmospheric process air is needed on a constant pressure level. Watch this video to understand what inspired the decision, as Manual Dias, Business Development Manager at Kaeser, covers the advantages that turbo blowers offer versus other types of blowers. Al Moreno, Kaeser's District Manager, then highlights the company's screw blower technology, followed by Global Product Manager Peter Werhahn, who provides the business case for investing in turbo blowers.

Kaeser Compressors' rotary screw blowers offer superior performance, fast installation, low noise operation, and lowest life cycle costs to help wastewater treatment plant operators and designers revolutionize their plant's aeration system.
-
Precision management of dissolved oxygen (DO) allows wastewater treatment plant operators to maintain optimal biological conditions in their activated sludge basins. However, older blowers and a lack of advanced aeration oversight can sabotage that effort while substantially wasting money.
-
Upgrading the aeration system in a wastewater operation is typically burdensome because of the design work, permits, construction, and commissioning required for a structure before a new blower system can be installed. An affordable, purpose-built blower system delivered in its own secure, weatherproof enclosure may be a viable alternative that can be commissioned sooner and at lower cost than one that requires renovations or new construction.
-
Wastewater plants could significantly benefit from air system performance audits for aeration blower systems.
-
It’s common for wastewater treatment plant operators and design engineers to get comfortable with one type of blower for aeration. However, multiple blower technologies are available to consider when designing a new system. Understanding the difference between them, as well as the pros and cons of each based on the specific application, is critical to the decision-making process.
-
This article gives an inside look at factors that impact pressure stability and operating efficiency, how to identify potential drawbacks in an air system, and what to specify for greater efficiency.
-
In municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, there has been a shift from manual to automatic process control in order to increase efficiency and improve effluent quality.
-
In 2012, the Town of Francesville in Indiana contacted Air Diffusion Systems to provide a solution for several suspended solids violations and energy efficient treatment. Air Diffusion Systems was able to provide an unique solution to correct biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) problems using Kaeser Compressors’ CB Com-paK blowers.

-
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.

When it comes to the costs of running a wastewater treatment plant, the conversation tends to begin and end with blowers. These machines are a staple in wastewater operations, gobbling up energy and running up the power bill as they function, so it’s worth taking the time to make the right investment.
-
Wastewater managers are always under pressure to reduce costs. Lowering the electric bill — which also saves precious resources — is a high priority.
-
Operators are constantly looking for ways to improve the aeration stage by revamping, replacing, or modifying the blowers and their packaging.
