  1. Leveraging Rentals For Pneumatic Conveying Applications 5/18/2020

    Pneumatic conveying applications are critical to many facilities – when you can’t move material you can’t make or sell your product. Because of a historical lack of availability of specialized rental blowers and compressors for pneumatic conveying, plants often ether accepted the production outage or rented a more readily available 2 stage oil-free rotary screw compressor designed for 90-150 PSIG plant air service that is very inefficient at the reduced pressures needed for pneumatic conveying.

  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. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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. 

  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 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. 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.
