Wastewater treatment

Reliability, sustainability and total cost of ownership are important factors when you're deciding on a new air blower installation for your site. Discover how you can get the full picture and find the best solution for your site.

 

Getting started: how to find the right blower for your site

Before you look at the technical details of a solution, it's a good idea to go back to basics. Looking at the data plate of your existing units will give you some information, but not the full picture. What is the current capacity you need at your site? How do you compare blower performance data? With a few guidelines, you'll be able to spot the best offer in no time.

Easy integration

Thinking about the installation of your air blowers might seem like something you do after you've purchased them. Thinking ahead will save you from unexpected costs. For instance, not all blowers are offered as complete packages. Making sure you have a complete package will ensure that everything you'll need for operation is included in your purchase. What are the hidden costs? What should be included before your blowers can be deployed into the treatment process?

Never run out of air

Minimizing emissions & breakdowns

Compressed air is an integral part of the wastewater treatment process. The first step towards a more reliable process is choosing the quality equipment that fits your needs. It's key to stay ahead of new governmental guidelines and regulations. The increasingly strict rules require your process to emit a minimal amount of carbon and the water to contain a minimal level of pollutants after treatment.

Optimal aeration control

Designing your aeration control system affects the efficiency of your process. More control means more knowledge and fewer chances of a complete breakdown. The more control you want, the more data you'll need. Traditional blower setups such as cascade sequences or unit control through gauges only allow simple measuring and control. Discover our tips and tricks to get more control over your system.

Montville Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Montville Water Pollution Control Facility uses six Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) to treat their wastewater. The influent flows have significantly higher loading than average due to industrial users from a paper plant and also a nearby casino due to those high loads. They need much more air than your average wastewater treatment plant. Atlas Copco met with Superintendent Derek Albertson about to discuss the application and why Atlas Copco’s ZB VSD+ blower was the perfect the needs of the facility.
