Each wastewater treatment plant occupies numerous centrifugal pumps and blowers. Besides pumps, aeration blowers play a crucial role in the energy consumption of a wastewater plant.

A wastewater treatment plant’s aeration process can account for around 40 % of its total energy usage, and more than seventy percent of aeration equipment life cycle operating costs are energy related. It makes turbo blower technology an attractive proposition for design and performance improvement, and it is essential to set-up energy-efficient processes and turbomachinery, like speed- controlled turbo blowers.

In this one-hour webinar, CFturbo experts will demonstrate the aerodynamic design of a single-stage centrifugal turbo blower, including impeller, diffuser, and volute. We will show conceptual design, meshing, a 3D-CFD-simulation of the turbo blower, and provide information about automated workflows for design exploration and optimization.
