Wastewater Blowers Articles

  1. Smooth Operator 10/31/2016

    All turbo manufacturers are not created equal. After a different supplier failed to perform, Aerzen’s technology, expertise, and customer service took the Charles River WWTP from extreme frustration to smooth operation.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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. 

  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. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
