Blowers and low-pressure compressors are specifically engineered for applications that require a pressure between 0.3 and 4 bar(g). There are multiple compression technologies that are used for generating low pressure air. Enormous energy gains can be made by choosing the right type and size of compressor to match the exact pressure and volume required by your applications.
Industries and applications using blower
Low pressure blower & compressor technologies are used in a variety of industries for an array of applications in the Middle East. For example:
- Cement factory
- Waste water treatment plant
- Fish farm
- Flour mill
- Oil & Gas
- Power plant
- Marine industry
-> Explore how the industries use blowers for critical processes.
Choose the right blower for your application
The three main technologies that are popular today are lobe, screw and centrifugal technology including high speed turbo or integrally geared centrifugal blowers.
Each technology has its own space like lobe typically is the best when it comes to pressure below 0.3 barg and flow less than 500 m3/hr, while screw works better at higher pressure and flow between 500-5000 m3/hr and then centrifugal technology takes over for larger volumes.
However, the decision on a compression technology is steered by energy efficiency which is also linked to the specific application of low pressure air.

Oman Cement Company reduces energy cost with 30%
30% less on the energy bill. That’s the difference Atlas Copco’s complete compressor set-up with blowers makes for Oman’s largest cement manufacturer and Middle East cement pioneer, Oman Cement Company SAOG (OCC). OCC requires air for plant and instrument air, pneumatic conveyors and for aeration in the cement silos. The equipment has to operate continuously in the toughest conditions and at ambient temperatures up to 55°C/131°F. That's why OCC relies on Atlas Copco.
