Maximize Efficiency of Water Treatment Aeration

| By Chemical Engineering

The IntelliView Line of aeration controls and control systems is designed to maximize efficiency of blowers and compressors in wastewater operations. A system can be purchased as a part of the vendor’s own aeration-blower system or integrated into third-party installations, including those that are preexisting. Models are available for any type of blower. Positive displacement blowers may be controlled with variable speed drives. Multistage centrifugal blowers may be variable speed or inlet throttled. Single stage centrifugal control options include variable speed, inlet guide vanes, and variable discharge diffuser vanes. All IntelliView blower controllers include equipment health monitoring and safety shutdown as well as process control options. A variety of protocols are available for both serial and Ethernet communications, allowing direct connectivity to SCADA systems and PLC networks. The Dissolved Oxygen (DO) control algorithm was specifically developed for aeration applications. Aeration basin air-flow control, Most-Open-Valve (MOV) logic, and pressure control are among the many options available to optimize the IntelliView system for virtually any wastewater treatment facility. — Dresser Roots, Houston, Tex.
