Blowers for Wastewater Treatment

Efficient wastewater treatment is crucial for environmental sustainability, and at the heart of this process lies the need for reliable and energy-efficient blowers. Atlas Copco's range of industrial air blowers is designed to meet the stringent demands of wastewater and effluent treatment across various industries, including recycling, cement, glass manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. 

These blowers ensure a continuous airflow with the necessary pressure and volume, vital for processes like diffused aeration and filter backwashing. Notably, energy consumption for aeration can account for up to 70% of a wastewater treatment plant's total energy usage, making energy efficiency a top priority.

Atlas Copco offers a variety of blower technologies to suit different applications:#

• ZS Screw Blowers: Compact and oil-free, these blowers provide high uptime with low lifecycle costs, making them ideal for replacing older technologies. 
• ZL Lobe Blowers: Cost-effective solutions with low capital and maintenance costs, suitable for applications requiring air supply between 0.3 and 1 bar(g).
• ZE/ZA Low Pressure Screw Compressors: Engineered for reliable operation while maximising energy savings, offering both fixed and variable speed options.
• ZB VSD+ Turbo Blowers: Featuring high-speed permanent magnet motors with variable speed drives, delivering oil-free air up to 1.4 bar(g) efficiently.
• ZM Multistage Centrifugal Blowers: Flexible solutions adaptable to various needs, providing reliable compressed air sources for applications up to 1.4 bar(g). 
  
  Upgrading to modern blower technologies can lead to significant energy savings. For instance, Anglian Water implemented Atlas Copco's ZS90 rotary screw blowers across multiple sites, achieving energy cost reductions of up to 35%.
  
  Considering an upgrade? Modern blowers not only reduce energy consumption but also offer advanced monitoring and control capabilities, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with environmental standards.
