Abstract Text

Join me in this comprehensive look at how blower technologies have improved over the years. With aeration accounting for nearly sixty-percent of the energy consumption at a wastewater plant, it is imperative to take advantage of the increased efficiencies achieved through advanced engineering. We will dive into how turbo and screw blowers are changing the industry all while moving towards a greener future. We’ll also address how blowers are not a “One technology fits all” type of product by looking at the advantages of the various technologies. To round up the topics, we will discuss what to expect in years to come as blowers continue to advance. After attending this presentation, attendees will be able to make an educated decision on green blower technologies for their next aeration project.
