Impressive Reliability: Inovair Aeration Blower Results From a WWTP

Better blower efficiency and ease of maintenance

The City of Lafayette, Colorado, conducted a year-long trial of Inovair's VFD integrally geared centrifugal blowers at their wastewater treatment plant. The trial aimed to evaluate the blowers' performance in real-world conditions, focusing on energy efficiency, operational flexibility, and maintenance needs. The results were impressive, with the Inovair blowers demonstrating significant energy savings, particularly at partial loads, and enhanced control during periods of low demand. The blowers also required less maintenance, contributing to reduced operational costs. Due to these positive outcomes, the plant decided to purchase four additional Inovair blowers, now operating a total of five. The plant staff appreciated the blowers' compact design, ease of maintenance, and robust construction. They also noted that the smaller footprint of the Inovair blowers allowed for easier installation and operational flexibility. The city’s wastewater plant now enjoys improved efficiency, redundancy, and reliability, bolstered by excellent customer support from Inovair.
