Blower replacement helps plant become more efficient
Problem
A wastewater treatment facility in the Pacific Northwest had issues with an air-bearing blower. To prevent frequent starts/stops on a sequencing batch reactor, the staff left the blower running continuously and wasting energy. The plant needed a system both reliable in a start/stop environment and energy efficient.
Solution
The plant switched to Inovair’s IM-30 Geared Centrifugal Blower (stacked option). It is efficient and designed to withstand multiple start/stops without limitation, while maintaining high shaft stability over its complete operating range. This application used unlimited-life, non-contact floating ring oil-film journal bearings and tapered-land thrust bearings in the gear box. That
