smaller end, 2- and 3-hp models
feature 60- and 80-gal tanks and
displace between 9.1 and 13.4 ft3/
min. Larger units provide 5, 7.5 and
10 hp, displace between 18.3 and
43.6 ft3/min and come with a standard
magnetic starter. Tank sizes
on the larger end range from 60
to 120 gal. All models at 10 hp or
less come in one- or three-phase
power. - Jenny Products, Inc.,

Flow conditioners tame
irregular fluid flows
This company's flow and process
conditioners (photo) isolate flow disturbances
and create a swirl-free,
symmetrical and repeatable velocity
flow profile in just a few pipe diameters
to keep equipment running
efficiently. The product line of inline
and insertion-type flow conditioners
nearly eliminates the upstream
straight pipe run requirements for
many types of equipment and instruments.
They condition the flow
stream into a regular flow regime to
mimic adequate pipe straight run.
The use of a flow conditioner also
eliminates the pipe cost and technician
labor for the purchase of additional
lengths of pipe straight run
and the labor for its installation. The
flow conditioners can be made from
carbon steel, 316L stainless steel or
Hastelloy C-276. - Vortab Co., San

These two new blowers are
Erdwich Zerkleinerungs-Systeme
energy efficient
With a flowrate of 18 to 72 m³/min
and pressure differentials from 0.3
to 1.1 bars, as well as a selection of
motors ranging from 45 to 110 kW,
the FBS rotary-screw blower continues
the success story of its smaller
sibling, the EBS, while setting new
standards in terms of energy efficiency,
space-saving design and automation.
The SFC version (photo) is
equipped with a frequency converter
and a synchronous reluctance motor
- a slip-free design that combines
all the advantages of high-efficiency
permanent-magnet motors with
those of robust, service-friendly
asynchronous motors. Thanks to
variable speed control, the flowrate
can be adjusted as required and a
control range of 1:4 is achieved, al18
lowing
exceptionally dynamic operation.
The STC version is now
equipped with an energy-saving IE4
Super Premium Efficiency motor,
which reduces energy consumption.

A new blower generation with
increased efficiency
New blower generations of the Delta
Hybrid
and Turbo
series
(photo)
offer more efficiency in the aeration
tank of wastewater treatment plants
(WWTPs). Depending on the region,
time of day and season, as well as
the amount of precipitation and pollution
load, municipal or industrial
biological WWTPs experience different
degrees of pollution and strong
fluctuations within the load profiles.
Due to this fluctuating load profile,
the air demand in the aeration tank
changes continuously. With its Performance3
efficiency concept, this
company offers a unique strategy
for the exact control of the load
changes and thus an optimal solution
for an energy-efficient oxygen
supply. Thanks to the ability to combine
of different technologies, sizes
and design points, this company's
blowers can allow energy savings of
up to 30%. - Aerzener Maschinenfabrik

One-step disposal of harmful
refrigerants and compressor oils
The fully automatic KAA100 extracts
both refrigerant and compressor
oil from intact, as well as
defective, refrigeration devices and
air-conditioning systems in a single
work step. The plant complies with
the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, is
tested in accordance with the Ordinance
on Plants for Handling Substances
Hazardous to Water (AwSV)
and is compliant with German Technical
Instructions
on
Air
Quality
Control
(TA Luft). On request, the
engineering company also plans
and implements complete refrigeration
device recycling plants, including
separating and shredding
machines, as well as exhaust-air
purification technology in a closed
system. - Erdwich ZerkleinerungsSysteme
