KAESER KOMPRESSOREN at IFAT ENTSORGA 2010

KAESER is proud to present its extended range of efficient rotary blowers featuring integrated electrical equipment and monitoring at this year’s IFAT ENTSORGA (Hall A1, Stand 127/224). The new “CB 111 C” and “CB 131 C” models cover air deliveries from 4.7 to 12.5 m³/min for pressures up to 1000 mbar (g), or 500 mbar (vacuum). Together with another new “EB” model from the “Compact” series, this versatile blower range is now available for air deliveries from 5 to 40 m³/min.

The blowers can be supplied ready for operation including all sensors and star-delta starter, or frequency converter (for flexible speed control). The complete system packages are CE and EMC certified, which means less work for both the operator and system provider when it comes to planning, installation, certification, documentation and commissioning. Sound and pulsation damping features ensure quiet operation, whilst safety guards for the fan and belt drive provide operator protection in accordance with applicable machinery directives.  
Available in various drive power versions, these innovative blowers are based on inherently intelligent design: System operators not only benefit from significant energy and operational cost savings, but are also able to take advantage of considerable savings for installation, planning, commissioning and certification. The blowers also provide exceptional reliability and availability. Furthermore, their space-saving component layout ensures a remarkably compact footprint. They have been designed with maximum accessibility in mind so that all service work can be carried out from the front of the unit. This aspect consequently enables side-by-side installation of multiple units. Components such as control valves, which would normally be installed externally, are incorporated into the equipment and are controlled via the blower’s internal “Omega Control” controller. This approach further simplifies the planning, installation and documentation of centralised blower stations.

Of course, operating costs do not just depend on the efficiency of the individual components within the station. Various other factors play important roles, such as actual pressure and air demand, selection of appropriate and suitably matched blowers and drive systems, as well as tailored sequencing control.

This is where an Air Demand Analysis (ADA) can prove invaluable: With help from such detailed analysis it is possible to determine how compressed air demand varies over time, how efficiently a blower station is operating, and to what extent availability and efficiency can be further enhanced. The “KAESER Energy Saving System” (KESS) is another powerful optimisation tool. This specialised planning software enables different system variants to be simulated and compared with one another, and their respective potential savings to be calculated. Transparency of future servicing and maintenance costs is also essential when considering the total life cycle costs of both individual blowers and stations as a whole. Needless to say, this task requires the kind of knowledge and expertise that only an experienced compressed air system provider such as KAESER KOMPRESSOREN can offer.

By choosing KAESER, planners and operators of ventilation stations in wastewater treatment plants not only profit from all of the advantages that KAESER's latest generation of blowers deliver, but also benefit from the company's decades of experience in system planning and optimisation. As a result, they can enjoy the rewards of enhanced system efficiency and maximum dependability.
