  1. How To Select The Most Effective Blower Technology For Wastewater Applications 9/16/2014

    Given numerous variables when selecting an aeration blower system for wastewater applications, and equally numerous claims by technology providers, it is not surprising that confusion exists. Worse than confusion is the disappointment that results when a blower technology fails to perform as anticipated — and operating cost and efficiency benefits go unrealized.

  2. Applying Variable Speed Compressors In Multiple Compressor Applications 8/23/2021

    Variable speed control for all types of industrial equipment is readily available on the market with competitive pricing to non-variable speed controlled alternatives, including in the air compressor industry. With the advent of prescriptive rebate programs for variable speed compressors and other equipment, the demand for these types of controls has increased.

  3. CAGI Data Sheets: Blower Performance Comparison Technical White Paper 2/13/2018

    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.

  4. Selecting The Optimal Blower For The Water Industry 10/10/2024

    In this white paper, we will drill down into which technology has particularly proven itself in terms of energy efficiency in the water industry.

  5. A Solid Solution And Impeccable Service Wins Over This Client 1/12/2024

    In this case study, learn why Canada's oldest cheese company looked to Newterra for systems and support.

  6. How To Choose The Right Aeration Blower System For Your Wastewater Treatment Plant 3/4/2013

    By comparing four types of aeration blowers designed specifically for wastewater treatment, this white paper educates engineers on how to develop a selection process best suited for their operation. The paper focuses on minimizing energy consumption and total cost of ownership of the aeration blower system. Download this white paper for a detailed comparison of real operating data on aeration blower technology. 

  7. The Proper Application Of Rotary Lobe And Rotary Screw Blower Technology 9/28/2017

    Written by Kaeser’s system experts, this white paper compares rotary lobe and screw blowers, isochoric and isentropic compression, and how to properly apply these technologies for designing an energy efficient system.

  8. 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.

  9. Complete Blower Package Results In Quiet Operation, Easy Maintenance 9/21/2016

    Until 2012, the Kaufman, TX, Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operated two separate aeration basins with mechanical surface aerators. As the plant’s equipment aged and required more frequent and expensive repairs and maintenance, the City of Kaufman followed its engineering firm’s recommendation to install a new, more efficient, fine bubble-diffused air system rather than simply replacing its old mixers with in-kind equipment.

  10. Why ASME PTC10 Is Not Sufficient To Define Testing Of A High Speed Turbo Blower 1/22/2016

    The technology to produce low pressure air, an energy intensive ingredient in the wastewater process, has made significant steps forward in recent years. Unfortunately, the specifications for testing these new sophisticated air producers have not kept pace.
