Steffen Helmert, Product Manager Turbo Blowers, explains the reasons for this and why AERZEN does not use magnetic bearings. read more
Cover story Samba in the aeration tank Nereda® conquers the world Nereda® is still a fairly young technology, but it has the potential to change the wastewater industry for good. Around the globe, more and more plants are being built based on the innovative Dutch concept. Royal HaskoningDHV is also taking a new approach in terms of support and monitors all Nereda® installations centrally by means of Global Digital Monitoring. This ensures reliable and long-term wastewater treatment plant operation. Experience has shown that this strategy is working. More than 90 Nereda® plants have been built in 20 countries, and all of them are still in operation. In Brazil, too, the number of Nereda® plants is continuously increasing. Another large-scale project, comparable to Bangu, is currently under construction in the municipality of Lontra in the state of Tocantins. Six highly efficient AERZEN Delta Hybrid D 152S packages will be installed there, with BRK Ambiental also being the plant manufacturer. And the cooperation between AERZEN and BRK Ambiental continues: numerous projects are in the plan- ning stage, under const under construction or about to be finalised.

AERZEN know-how With the newly developed VRW 536M screw compressor, AERZEN can realise significantly higher differential pressures and efficiencies in hydrogen compression. "We see another strong market ramp-up in green hydrogen as very realistic. This assessment is also consistent with the opinion of our clients, whom we support in the development of projects at various stages of planning." Michael Leitsch, Head of Opportunity Engineering AERZEN
New AERZEN subsidiary in Saudi Arabia AERZEN Group has established a new company based in Jubail, Saudi Arabia: Aerzen Arabia. The new entity will contribute to the expansion of Rental and Service business and offer a comprehensive product range including blowers and compressors. AERZEN is a market leader in the wastewater segment in the Middle East. The brand has been present in Saudi Arabia for decades and is known as a leading application specialist for the conveying and compression of gases with energy-efficient and resource-saving products and production processes. While the market had previously been served by Aerzen Gulf, based in the United Arab Emirates, the pandemic, and the restrictions associated with it, have provided an impetus to establish a physical presence in Saudi Arabia. Managing Director Craig Russell and Operations Manager Jaleel Ansari will lead the team in Jubail.
New Head of Business Unit Turbo for Latin America AERZEN continues to expand its turbo blower business in Central and South America. This is evidenced by the creation of the new position Head of Businees Unit Turbo LATAM, which Luis Miguel Jiménez has taken over. The engineer has ten years of experience in sales at Aerzen México, having previously worked in the industrial sector for two decades. “My responsibilities include coordinating technical and commercial support and aligning our product solutions and services with customer needs and expectations in Latin America,” explains Jiménez, who will lead Turbo LATAM as a separate business unit within Aerzen México, based in Metepec in the Toluca metropolitan region. “Over the course of this year, we will also be setting up local production at this location and this will involve several steps,” emphasises Stephan Brand, Director Turbo Business.
New AERZEN VMY screw compressors: refrigeration packages of the next generation The requirements in the field of refrigeration technology are also continuously increasing. The new refrigeration compressors of the AERZEN VMY series with oil injection and built-in volume control especially are characterised by high energy efficiency, good controllability, and a particularly compact design, with which AERZEN meets the increased demand for space-saving, lightweight and low- maintenance packages - an ideal solution for the most demanding applications. The latest screw compressors of VMY series are used in closed cooling circuits and are designed for intake volume flows of approximately 300 to 2,700 m3/h and pressure differences of up to 25 bar. With their integrated volume flow control (slide valve or speed control), they enable a power adjustment between 20 and 100 percent. This makes the compression of gases, hydrocarbons, ammonia, helium, and carbon dioxide particularly economical. If a so-called economizer is used, the efficiency of the cooling system can be additionally increased and the operating costs further reduced. Only environmentally friendly refrigerants with a low GWP value (Global Warming Potential), such as ammonia, propane and propylene are used. Oil injection makes the compressors insensitive to fluctuating volumes, temperatures and pressures. Integrated oil separation systems reduce the residual oil content to 1 to 5 mg/m3.
