Water treatment

Water treatment is about purifying one of the most essential natural resources on our planet. That’s made possible with our blowers, compressors and pumps that help our customers get the job done in efficient and climate-friendly ways.

Up to 70% of the energy consumption in a wastewater treatment plant is used for aeration. So keeping energy costs down is key to keeping total operational costs low. Our technologies do just that, making your investment profitable as soon as possible. This is what we pay attention to:

  • Energy efficiency: We build an optimal solution for each specific application in the wastewater treatment plant. Our oil-free screw technology with variable speed drive for example, lowers energy consumption by 30% on average compared to other technologies.
 
 
  • In-house expertise: We offer a full range of blower and low-pressure technologies, developed and produced in house by our engineers. These are ideal for wastewater treatment applications, given the lower noise and vibration levels or airflow regulation.

We offer seven different blower and aeration technologies for wastewater and industrial applications. This means that the technology we recommend will be the most efficient product for the specific need of our customers, over the cost of its lifetime.
