What Floats Your Bubble? If you work within the wastewater treatment industry, you're well aware of the key role that these facilities play in removing contaminants from wastewater. This wastewater treatment occurs through a variety of processes that are chemical, physical, and and biological in nature; there are also a diverse set of applications within wastewater treatment, including filter backwashing, membrane bioreactors, and sequencing batch reactors. These processes and applications are powered by aeration blowers.
Your Aeration Technologies Solution. Did you know that Atlas Copco offers 7 different blower and aeration technologies for wastewater treatment applications? That's right! We have a robust product portfolio that is specifically suited for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities.

Aeration Blowers for Wastewater Treatment
Aeration Blowers In Focus
Did You Know?
All our blowers are ISO 8573-1 (2010) Class 0 certified, which guarantees that the air is not contaminated during the compression process. We are the only compressor and blower manufacturer that has ISO 22000 certifications.
For applications that run continuously, our aeration blowers and low-pressure compressors are excellent at reducing operational costs and guaranteeing the continuous uptime of treatment processes. To keep the energy costs low, all our solutions are available with a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) that automatically adjusts motor speed to the actual air demand.

Wastewater Treatment Applications
Membrane Bioreactors
Membrane bioreactors feature an ultrafine membrane filter installed at the discharge end of a standard aeration basin. Pumps installed on the membrane filters create a slight vacuum and pull the effluent through the membrane. The ultrafine holes in the membrane do not allow the biological microbes to pass through the membrane
Aeration Blowers VLOG: Engineered to Excel
Aeration Technologies in Action
Municipalities worldwide are looking for the right solutions to cope with higher flow capacities while reducing their total cost of ownership. To help achieve that perfect balance, we've developed a full portfolio of aeration blower solutions to fit the wastewater treatment process's different needs.
The Port Washington Wastewater Treatment Facility in Port Washington, Wisconsin chose Atlas Copco’s ZS VSD+ screw blower to power their facility 8 years ago. 64,000 running hours, zero unplanned downtime, and >$190k in energy savings later, they're happier than ever.
