How to select the right industrial blower for water & wastewater treatment plants

Up to 70% of the energy consumption in a water or wastewater treatment plant is used by air blowers. So, keeping electricity costs related to blowers down, especially in the face of rising energy costs, is key to keeping total operational costs low.

This guide will cover the different low-pressure blower technologies available and explain how to select the right blower to deal with the particular requirements of your water or wastewater treatment plant.

A brief overview of the industrial blower guide

When counting on a compressed air supply to keep the bacteria alive during the treatment process, a continuous supply of compressed air which is free from oil-contamination and can handle a variable air flow demand during the day is imperative.

This guide will cover the different low-pressure blower technologies available and explain how to select the right blower to deal with the particular requirements of your water or wastewater treatment plant. Blower efficiency and operating characteristics are important factors in the performance of water and wastewater treatment applications, such as diffused aeration, filter backwashing or activated sludge systems

An introduction to the types of industrial blower technologies

There are a number of different types of low-pressure blower technologies available to the plant operator, categorised as lobe, screw, centrifugal, and multistage blowers, so it pays to check the vital statistics of each type and compare their performances.

Choosing the right industrial blower for the application

The starting point is a thorough analysis of an installation and recognition that application characteristics are key to selecting the right technology. In the decision process, there will undoubtedly be one or more aspects that might take precedence over others
