1. Self-Tuning System Provides Big Leap In DO Control 5/4/2021

   The City of Cumberland (MD) wastewater treatment plant could see wild swings in its dissolved oxygen (DO) levels until it replaced its air control system with Aerzen AERprocess, an intelligent airflow control system. Now, the city enjoys vastly improved DO control in individual zones and across the entire process, as well as significant savings on its energy bills.

2. Activating The Sludge In Small Municipal Facultative Waste Lagoon Systems 6/2/2015

   Wastewater treatment lagoons were originally facultative in design — shallow, single and multi-cell lagoon systems that counted on wind, sunlight, anaerobic bacteria, and time for the digestion of the organic components of the wastewater.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Upgrade To Diffused Aeration Results In Significant Energy Savings 12/12/2013

   After 35 years of use,  the fiberglass jet aeration manifolds in the Western Regional Water Reclamation Plant (Dayton, Ohio) had deteriorated, rendering four of eight wastewater aeration tanks inoperable. Managers recognized an opportunity to utilize a fine bubble diffused aeration system that eliminated the need for the pumps. The result: higher oxygen-transfer efficiency and reduced power costs to operate the system.

6. Comprehensive Compressed Air Assessments: The 5-Step Process 10/10/2024

   The objective of this paper is to define the five steps required in a compressed air assessment. We will use a real-world example with system information from a magnetic materials manufacturer to clearly illustrate each step.

7. 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.

8. Los Alamos WWTP Gains Turndown Capability And Saves Energy With Hybrid Blowers 7/14/2015

   Los Alamos, NM, the former site of topsecret laboratories where government scientists developed the atomic bomb during World War II, is once again a town at the forefront of new technology.

9. 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.

10. Turbo Blower Technology Saves Money And Energy For City Of Adelanto WWTP 10/27/2014

    The City of Adelanto, Calif., wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) receives an average flow of 2.2 million gallons per day (MGD), but had a permit that allowed treatment of only 1.5 MGD.
