• Blower System Integration For Wastewater Aeration Applications

  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.

• Air Demand Analysis (ADA) For Blowers

  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).

• Air Quality And Air Treatment In Compressed Air Systems

  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. 

• Over-Sized And Under-Utilized: An Epidemic

  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.

• Magnetic Bearing Turbo Blowers: PillAerator Series

  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.

  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.

• A New Approach To Installing Blower Systems

  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. 

• How To Avoid The Biggest Wastewater Aeration Mistake

  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.

• CAGI Data Sheets: Blower Performance Comparison Technical White Paper

  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.
