How to Size Blowers for Peak Load

INTRODUCTION Aeration typically accounts for 50% to 70% of a wastewater treatment plant’s total energy consumption. For design engineers and plant superintendents, specifying the aeration system presents a notoriously difficult balancing act. On one hand, failure to deliver sufficient dissolved oxygen (DO) during maximum biological loading results in permit violations, process upsets, and potential fines. […]
