Blower & Vacuum Best Practices Magazine

focus on industrial utility efficiency the mission of blower & vacuum best practices is to help energy managers create industrial energy savings while maintaining and often improving the reliability of the process. we focus only on projects with roi’s in the 0-3 year range. blower system and blow-off optimization industrial blower applications, aeration blowers and blow-off air opportunities are the editorial focus on the blower side. for example, blowers support aeration systems at industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities and represent a significant portion of the over-all energy consumption. according to jess burgess from the consortium for energy efficiency, “aeration accounts for 25-60 percent of total energy consumption at typical wastewater treatment facilities.” aeration is often the largest single energy-user in a municipality. optimizing the blowers and blower controls of the aeration system has been proven to be a huge opportunity with excellent roi’s. mat
