The energy demand for the water and wastewater industry is approximately 75 billion kilowatt hours per year, or about 3 percent of the electricity consumed in the US.1Specifically, the aeration process at most wastewater treatment plants account for the largest amount of energy consumption, and is as much as 40-60% of the plant’s total energy usage.
“Turbo blowers are a significant area of innovation in blower design offering energy savings for the wastewater industry,”
according to a recent EPA citing which also
reported, “increases in energy costs for the
wastewater industry.” Additionally, the EPA suggests
“Equipment upgrades and operational modifications to
reduce energy should not be one-time events, but
should be incorporated into a comprehensive energy
review and management strategy.” Not surprisingly,
turbo blowers have gained rapid acceptance in the
wastewater industry over the past 3-4 years at large
plants, but have not been affordable for smaller
plants. Inovair offers solutions for the smaller
plants to significantly cut plant energy usage,
offer improved functionality and intelligent
controls which results in thousands of dollar
savings in operating costs. |
