Wastewater Blowers Articles

1. Aeration Blowers In The Wastewater Industry In North America 1/13/2010

   The economical operation of a wastewater treatment plant depends largely on the design and the interplay of the aeration and process controls. Moreover, the human factor and the management objectives are at the heart of the plant’s reality and should also be taken into consideration. Selection and thoughtful integration of all the subsystems is of paramount importance. By Aerzen

2. 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.

3. White Paper: Hoffman Revolution Blower Continues Tradition Of Innovative Design 8/22/2011
   The Hoffman U.S. Machinery Division was established in 1905 outside of East Syracuse, New York. The initial product was an exhauster for the dry cleaning industry — pulling a steam vacuum across the garments.
4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Repair Or Rethink 8/7/2015

   The Moundsville Wastewater Treatment Plant in West Virginia chooses not to fix a broken blower unit, but rather to correct an outdated approach. The result is a savings of $50-60K a year in energy costs.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Switch To Hybrid Blowers Offsets 68% Electrical Rate Increase For WWTP 3/2/2016

    The Old Orchard Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) serves the town of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, a coastal resort community where the population swells from 9,000 year-round residents to 75,000 in late June through early August, when seasonal residents and day trippers descend for the peak summer months.
