Aeration & Blowers Resources

1. Why Flow And Pressure Are Not Enough For Your Aeration Blower Spec 11/3/2026

   Effective aeration blower specifications account for environmental conditions, technology selection, electrical requirements, and controls—not just airflow and pressure.

2. Blower Enclosures Are For More Than Just Sound Dampening 10/31/2026

   Blower enclosures protect personnel and equipment beyond noise reduction, with specialized designs addressing extreme weather, dust, corrosion, seismic activity, and hazardous environments.

3. How To Avoid Critical Mistakes With Emergency Blower Rentals 10/27/2026

   Proactive contingency planning helps wastewater plants secure properly sized emergency blowers, avoid costly equipment mismatches, and restore aeration with less downtime.

4. How Integrated Aeration Unlocks Wastewater Treatment Efficiencies 10/27/2026

   An integrated approach to aeration can reduce energy and capital costs by matching blower output, diffuser design, and automated controls to wastewater treatment demands.

5. Rethinking Aeration: Demand-Based DO Control And Energy Optimization 3/13/2026

   Aeration control strategies often remain conservative and static. Blowers operate continuously, oxygen levels are maintained near maximum, and airflow rates are rarely adjusted in response to real-time biological demand. The result is widespread over-aeration — a condition that does not improve treatment performance but significantly increases operating costs.

6. Actuators On Aeration Blower Valves Improve Dissolved Oxygen And Increase Overall Process Stability 12/4/2025

   Discover how installing Beck electric actuators on the aeration blower control valves has improved process stability and plant operations for a South Florida treatment plant.

7. 2nd Generation ATAD Provides Superior Treatment 6/18/2025

   In a bold move to modernize its wastewater treatment, Bowling Green, Ohio, installed the state’s first second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system — ThermAer — in 2004.

8. California's First Installation Of 2nd Generation ATAD 6/11/2025

   Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant, located in Pacifica, California, recently retrofitted to the Thermal Process Systems’ ThermAer™. This is California’s first installation of the second generation ATAD system.

9. The Savings Are Blowin' In At Port Washington Wastewater Treatment Plant 12/27/2024

   The municipal wastewater treatment plant in Port Washington, Wisconsin, is located on the picturesque shore of Lake Michigan, so it’s essential that their plant performs as designed.

10. Compressed Air System Leaks: The Cost, Common Culprits, Detection, And Repair 10/10/2024

    In this paper, we’ll discuss how many companies are losing thousands of dollars each year to compressed air system leaks. We will address where leaks commonly occur, leak detection methods, and practical advice for an audit and repair plan.
