Aeration systems account for are a large proportion of the construction and operational costs at water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). As a result, it is important to optimize their design and operation. This learning module presents full-scale
modeling and operational experience for new aeration system implementation. At the conclusion of this learning module, participants will be able to
discuss magnetic bearing turbo blowers;
determine the required operating window for new blowers;
describe a new blower control strategy;
compare control valves; and
explain a new cleaning technique for fine-pore diffusers.
