BLOWERS & AERATION
Clean water depends on effective aeration. Whether treating municipal or industrial wastewater, aeration supports the biological processes that remove contaminants. Delivering that oxygen efficiently requires more than just air; it requires the right combination of blowers, aeration equipment, and system design.
Because treatment goals, basin configurations, and operating conditions vary, selecting the right technologies is essential for long-term efficiency, performance, and reliability.
From compact installations to large-scale treatment facilities, blower and aeration systems can be configured to meet site-specific needs—whether optimizing energy use, simplifying maintenance, or adapting to seasonal and variable load conditions.
With the right approach to air delivery and aeration, facilities gain more than oxygen transfer—they gain a system that performs better, lasts longer, and reduces lifecycle costs.
TECHNOLOGIES
Ovivo Aerostrip
Diffused aeration systems supply the oxygen required to support biological treatment processes in wastewater facilities. AEROSTRIP® fine-pore diffusers are engineered to deliver high oxygen transfer efficiency while minimizing energy consumption and extending diffuser service life.
Designed for reliable performance across a wide operating range, AEROSTRIP diffusers feature a high-strength membrane for long-term durability and the flexibility to support varying biological process strategies—making them a robust, cost-effective solution for modern aeration systems.
Surface Aerators
Provide high-capacity oxygenation and mixing at the water’s surface. These systems are especially effective in lagoon-style treatment plants, aerobic digesters, and industries dealing with high-strength wastewater. Their above-water design allows for easy access, simple maintenance, and flexible operation in remote or open environments
Positive Displacement Blowers
A proven workhorse in wastewater aeration, this oil-free blower delivers constant airflow regardless of pressure fluctuations. Ideal for smaller plants or applications like digester gas handling and sludge aeration.
Screw Compressors
Efficient and robust, screw compressors provide steady, high-pressure airflow for demanding treatment processes. Well-suited for larger facilities requiring continuous operation with lower energy consumption.
Hybrid Screw Blowers
Designed for energy-efficient aeration, hybrid screw blowers offer the reliability of positive displacement with the performance of dynamic blowers. Great for processes with variable air demand, such as biological treatment and SBRs.
High Speed Turbo Blowers
Delivers high-efficiency, oil-free air using magnetic or air bearings with minimal maintenance. Ideal for large-scale aeration systems where energy savings, low noise, and precise control are essential.
Internally Geared Turbocompressors
Engineered for large wastewater treatment facilities, this advanced turbocompressor delivers precise, high-volume airflow with exceptional energy efficiency. Its integrally geared design allows for optimized impeller speeds and turndown capability, making it ideal for aeration systems with fluctuating demand and a focus on minimizing lifecycle costs.
Centrifugal Blowers
Best suited for high-capacity plants, centrifugal blowers provide large volumes of air at relatively low pressure. Common in applications like activated sludge systems and deep-tank aeration.
