Energy costs can account for up to 60% of plant operating expenses, and aeration is typically the largest energy consumer. Inovair geared centrifugal blowers offer significant energy savings over multistage and PD blowers, and deliver comparable and often better performance than turbo blowers—without the complexity of proprietary high-speed motors, VFDs, and control systems.

With 70+ aerodynamic impeller designs and up to 60–75% turndown, Inovair achieves high efficiency across varying flow and pressure demands. Standard VFD control adjusts blower output automatically, helping utilities optimize system efficiency.

Unlike some other blower manufacturers, Inovair does not use proprietary components. We use standard motors, VFDs, and industrial components so parts are easy to source nationwide and long-term support cost stays low. Our system design also simplifies retrofit projects and reduces installation cost.

Case Study – Paducah, KY

• Reused existing VFDs to minimize capital cost


• Achieved efficiency gains without major electrical upgrades


• Spotting red flags in proposals before they become problems


• Reduced project lead time

Some blower manufacturers require service contracts and factory-only maintenance. Inovair takes a different approach—we empower plant teams to self-maintain. With straightforward access panels, no proprietary software, and readily-available and locally-sourced parts, our blowers are built for long-term serviceability and reliability.

Additional service advantages:
✔ Operator-friendly maintenance
✔ Remote or local VFD mounting options
✔ Minimal downtime design
✔ Built-in diagnostics and performance monitoring

Inovair geared centrifugal blowers serve every major wastewater process:
• Aeration basins (conventional activated sludge)
• Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs)
• Digesters
• Equalization tanks
• Lagoons

Coatesville, PA is another great case study example: Inovair blowers serve both digesters and aeration, controlled through an Inovair UL508A master control panel with DO, ORP, and pH monitoring for full system automation.

Our blower packages support indoor or outdoor installations and connect easily to existing piping layouts using horizontal or vertical discharge. They can even run in parallel with other blower types—including PD, multistage, turbo, or air-bearing blowers—just like they do at Lafayette, CO.

Inovair blowers deliver higher efficiency, longer life, lower maintenance cost, and easier integration than traditional blower technologies. With U.S.-based manufacturing, parts availability, and customer support, Inovair is the smart choice for both new construction and blower retrofit projects.
