Blower air is an indispensable part of biological wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) processes. Integration -- on the blower package level as well as the system level -- is key to maximizing energy efficiency and ensuring that this critical service is readily available for the communities the WWTP serves.Authors: Stephen Horne, Blower Product Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc., and Marcus Jungkunst, Blower Product Support, Kaeser Kompressoren

This white paper compares rotary lobe and screw blowers, internal and external compression, and how to properly apply these technologies for designing an energy efficient system.Authors: Stephen Horne, Product Manager - Blowers, Kaeser Compressors, Inc. and Marcus Jungkunst, Blower Product Support, Kaeser Kompressoren

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a systematic approach to problem solving, commonly applied when there is a significant failure or issue with far-reaching impact. This paper will discuss how to apply Root Cause Analysis to compressed air systems.Authors: Wayne Perry, Sr. Technical Director and Neil Mehltretter, Engineering Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Partly due to an expanded use of the hazardous area classification system, specifiers are increasingly citing requirements for equipment suitable for use in classified areas. When properly used, the hazardous area classification system makes for a safer work environment. Too often, however, hazard classes are specified without concern for the significantly higher design and procurement costs they bring. In many cases, an open mind and a little ingenuity can avoid excessive costs for compressors and other equipment, without compromising safety.Author: Wayne Perry, Senior Technical Director, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Explains how to use CAGI data sheets to compare blower performance and efficiency.Author: Stephen Horne, Blowers Product Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Whether you call them intermediate controls, flow controls, pressure/flow controls, demand expanders, or any other name, the proper application of them has always been a bit confusing to users. This white paper applies to most all pressure/flow controls and will explain their proper application and benefitsAuthor: Wayne Perry, Senior Technical Director, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Advanced control capabilities minimize equipment run times, maintain stable air pressures, and deliver rapid payback in operational and energy savings.Authors: Wayne Perry, Senior Technical Director, and Michael Camber, Marketing Services Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc. (USWPCONTRLS)

More than just providing plant air, they're also a useful source of heat, energy savings, and sustainable operations.Authors: Werner Rauer, Product Manager for Screw Compressors, Michael Camber, Marketing Services Manager, and Wayne Perry, Senior Technical Director, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

This white paper includes: how to calculate specific power for individual units as well as the entire system, with calculation examples for comparing specific power between traditional and system splitting design approachesAuthor: Stephen Horne, Blowers Product Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

For some large compressed air applications needing extremely dry air, the most effective and least costly to operate may be a hybrid dryer system.Authors: Wayne Perry, Senior Technical Director and David Phillips, Air Treatment Product Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

A short technical comparison between the two types of air compressors with the pros and cons of using each.Author: Michael Camber, Marketing Services Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

A short technical comparison of rotary screw and piston compressors for body shopsAuthor: Michael Camber, Marketing Services Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Explains how to use CAGI data sheets to compare compressor performance and efficiency.Author: Werner Rauer, Compressors Product Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Addresses the proper application of variable frequency/speed drive compressors and avoiding control gap.Author: Neil Mehltretter, Engineering Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Covers the advantages and disadvantages of the several types of fluids used today.Author: Wayne Perry, Senior Technical Director, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Describes best practices for a cost effective leak identification and repair program.Author: Matt McCorkle, Branch Operations Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.

Outlines the 5-step process of a comprehensive compressed air audit to minimize leaks and improve system efficiencyAuthor: Neil Mehltretter, Engineering Manager, Kaeser Compressors, Inc.
