Why Inovair’s Technology Works

This design eliminates common issues seen in other technologies, such as surge and problems restarting due to excessive pressure.


Real World Example

Inovair blowers have a proven history of reliable operation alongside other blower technologies such as PD Blowers, Multistage Blowers, and High-Speed Gearless Turbo Blowers. Inovair blowers offer an efficient, reliable, and US-built solution, proven to work with at least two other technologies in the same plant. One example is an installation at a WWTP plant in Colorado:

A Colorado-based wastewater treatment plant was having issues with their blower system. The multi-stage blower was oversized and the air bearing high speed turbo blower they purchased as a trim blower wasn’t reliable. After several years trying to improve the reliability of the HST blower the plant decided to add a new trim blower. The trim blower would need to be efficient and reliable and since all of the work to repair the HST blower had to be done by a third party and the plant wanted a blower they could maintain.

The Inovair IM-30 Geared Centrifugal Blower was chosen because of its industry leading efficiency, proven reliability, and that it can be maintained by plant staff since it is designed with standard off the shelf high efficiency motors and VFD’s. The simplicity and ease of maintenance were crucial in the decision to use Inovair as the plants frustration with the continued issues of the air bearing high speed turbo blower.

After a year in service the Inovair IM-30 has operated flawlessly with zero downtime and improved energy savings. Additionally, the Inovair IM-30 has seen no issues running in parallel with either the plants multi-stage blower or HST blower when it is available.
