Aeration & Blowers Resources

41. Treating Food Wastewater Efficiently Using Jet Aeration 9/14/2020

    Food processing is a water-intensive process, and its wastewater byproduct is typically high in volumetric daily flow and also biochemical and chemical oxygen demand (BOD and COD), organics, and nutrients. Consequently, significant on-site treatment and resources are necessary.

42. After 30 Attempts To Cut Through The FOG, The Wet Well Wizard Makes Major Improvements 8/31/2020

    It took 30 attempts, but the Wet Well Wizard was finally able to cut through the FOG at the Memorial Park Pump Station (MPPS).

43. Reducing H2S And FOG At The Discharge Of A Force Main 8/3/2020

    County Operations staff investigated the wastewater collection system that serves a Virginia neighborhood, and found that odor was proliferating throughout the neighborhood. Corrosion of the sewer manholes was clearly evident.

44. CASPERON Solution Brings Process, Operation And Cost Benefits To Michigan Facility 7/9/2020

    Explore how Michigan's Zeeland Clean Water Plant maintained efficient aeration control with the Xylem Sanitaire CASPERON activated sludge solution process.

45. New Turbocompressors Boost Efficiency At Wastewater Plant 7/6/2020

    Sulzer engineers helped a plant in the Netherlands cut its energy costs with a turnkey project. Now the plant’s owners have worked with Sulzer engineers to upgrade its existing units with three latest generation machines.

46. Mixing Made Easy For Low Energy Lakes, Ponds, And Lagoons 6/29/2020

    Landlocked, shallow bodies of water such as recreational ponds, irrigation, drinking water and animal waste lagoons have a major problem with flow. The only natural methods of movement in these bodies of water are the slight Coriolis Effect of the earth and wind.

47. Leveraging Rentals For Pneumatic Conveying Applications 5/18/2020

    Pneumatic conveying applications are critical to many facilities – when you can’t move material you can’t make or sell your product. Because of a historical lack of availability of specialized rental blowers and compressors for pneumatic conveying, plants often ether accepted the production outage or rented a more readily available 2 stage oil-free rotary screw compressor designed for 90-150 PSIG plant air service that is very inefficient at the reduced pressures needed for pneumatic conveying.

48. Saving The Most Money On Wastewater Aeration: Bringing It All Together 4/28/2020

    The power required for aeration is 50 to 60 percent of the electric bill for a municipal wastewater plant, sometimes accounting for up to 4 percent of the associated community’s total power. Energy efficiency is a critical factor in evaluating blower performance.

49. Abbottstown Retrofitted A Flow-Through System With An AquaSBR® System To Meet Stringent Effluent Requirements 4/9/2020

    The Abbottstown-Paradise Joint Sewer Authority was incorporated in 1973 and utilized a continuous flow activated sludge system with an average daily design flow of 0.21 MGD. At that time the plant was only required to reduce total suspended solids (TSS) and effuent ammonia to required levels to serve the area population of about 2000. Due to urban growth and increased storm flow runoffs, the plant was in need of an expansion and upgrade by the late 1990s. 

50. HST™ Turbocompressor For Sky-High Savings In Wastewater Treatment 4/1/2020

    The town of Fraser, Colorado, USA, with an annual mean temperature of 32.5°F is the coldest town in the lower 48 states and gets frost year-round. At an elevation of 8’574 feet, it is also the highest location for Sulzer’s HST 20 turbocompressor in the world. The Fraser WWTP high-speed blower upgrade was completed in early 2019, replacing older centrifugal blowers, which were loud and costly to operate.
