AIR COMPRESSOR

There are three major ways that wastewater treatment facilities routinely maintain their air treatment. These are through the use of air compressors and air blowers. While we’ll be concentrating on air compressors, it’s important to understand the differences between the respective solutions. A blower is a (usually) rotary device which simply blows air from the intake to the outtake, and is usually used in areas with low differential pressure. They are high output, but compensate by being low pressure and having a low ability to regulate their pressure. A compressor compresses air and regulates pressure. They’re used in situations requiring less overall output than a blower (again, usually, and dependant upon model), but can regulate pressure exceedingly well.
