  1. Wastewater Treatment Plant Reduces Energy Consumption, Noise With Turbo Blower Technology 6/24/2013

    Built in 1974, the Blue River Wastewater Treatment Plant in Silverthorne, Colorado, provides wastewater services to the communities of Silverthorne, Dillon, Dillon Valley, Buffalo Mountain, and Mesa Cortina. Faced with rising energy costs and aging equipment, the Silverthorne-Dillon Joint Sewer Authority (JSA) identified a need to replace the plant’s original multistage centrifugal blowers with new technology that would reduce energy consumption and provide steady and reliable operation.

  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. Air Diffusion Systems Helps Francesville With New Aeration System 2/15/2019

    In 2012, the Town of Francesville in Indiana contacted Air Diffusion Systems to provide a solution for several suspended solids violations and energy efficient treatment. Air Diffusion Systems was able to provide an unique solution to correct biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) problems using Kaeser Compressors’ CB Com-paK blowers.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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).

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
