Roots blowers are the core element to cover the aeration needs of your wastewater treatment plant, activated sludge process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roots has been the market reference for its premium quality and the longest tradition that dates back to 1860 ( Roots ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The roots blower is a bi-lobed displacement type device. Two figure-eight shaped lobes are mounted on parallel shafts and rotate in opposite directions. Each time the impeller passes through the blower inlet, it entraps a finite volume of air and moves it around the casing to the blower outlet, where the air is discharged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the operating speed is constant, the displaced volume is the same regardless of pressure, temperature and barometric pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The primary application for roots blowers is in activated sludge processes. They are used as a means of providing aeration (oxygenation) to wastewater treatment plants. Other applications include providing air in multi-media filters as a scrubbing and cleaning medium (\u00abair scouring\u00bb) or in membrane degassing processes where they are used in reverse as a vacuum blower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blower requires several components to operate, which is why it is often referred to as a blower package rather than a blower. Each blower package is selected and designed according to the specific needs of the customer. Blower packages have the following components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
