A biological municipal wastewater treatment plant with a considerably fluctuating discharge quantity can only perform its function with utmost energy efficiency and reliability if the process air consumption of the aeration basin can be adjusted continuously and is fully automated in order to deal with widely fluctuating load quantities. The example of the wastewater treatment plant shows how this is achieved with the use of a speed controlled Aerzen turbo blower.

The most common motor start is what is commonly known as “across the line” (direct) motor start. Power companies like when consumers do this as the resulting power draw (Amperage) spike is typically assessed with so called power demand charges on top of the regular power consumption charge in cents/kWh. In any application where the blower or compressor must start against header pressure this starting method carries the greatest penalty as the motor must overcome the rotating equipment’s moment of inertia and the system pressure. The graph below illustrates the power draw and the time it takes to bring the blower / compressor on line. An Aerzen Aeromat automatic start-up unloading valve may be the answer to your problem.

Are you ready to buy a blower for a pneumatic conveying system? Look out for the following:
-
Is the blower sized for the correct amount of air? Too much air will lead to higher pressure drops and increased power consumption. Too little air will result in line plugging.
- Is the blower and motor sized with enough safety to overcome upset conditions?
- When comparing blowers from various manufacturers, did you look at:
- Reliability
- Efficiency
- Noise
- Maintenance requirements
- If you are conveying food products, you also want to make sure that no particles of the silencer absorption material and no lubrication oil can enter the compressed air stream and thus mix with the conveyed product.
