With a right-sized machine configuration based on highly developed AERZEN technologies, the company offers maximum savings potential for all plant operators in waste water treatment. AERZEN customers can now easily test how efficient the aeration in their blower station really is with the performance calculator on the AERZEN website. All you have to do is enter your current number of machines, the volume flow and the differential pressure, and you will immediately receive an initial result as to the level of potential savings that can be achieved. You will also be shown what your individual machine configuration would look like with the technologies in question in order to achieve the savings potential.

Since each plant has individual requirements, AERZEN provides the customers with a tailored design based on the AERZEN Perfomance³ product portfolio - consisting of positive displacement blowers, turbo blowers and rotary lobe compressors.
