Compressed Air Best Practices® Magazine interviewed Mr. Omar Hammoud, the CEO and President of APG-Neuros. APG-Neuros was founded in 2006 in Quebec as a result of seeing an opportunity for innovation in the North American blower market. Aeration systems at wastewater treatment facilities present significant, cost-effective energy savings
Humidity in ambient air, once compressed, results in much of this water falling out, which we know as condensate. On a warm and humid summer day with inlet air temperatures of 80 oF, a 75-horsepower (hp) air compressor running fully loaded can produce over 25 gallons of condensate in just one eight-hour shift, with another five gallons being

The compression process allows for the air, water vapor, and lubricating fluids to mix. Once the condensate leaves the system, trace amounts of lubricant travel with it. This condensate should be processed through an oil-water separator before being discharged to groundwater or wastewater treatment plants.

By Compressed Air Best Practices® Magazine The design of wastewater treatment plants is changing, and it has something to do with LEGO® bricks. More specifically, it has to do with how large and complex LEGO structures are built.
By Mike Grennier, Contributing Editor, Compressed Air Best Practices ® Magazine Chicago Heights Steel, Chicago Heights, Ill., leveraged an advanced data monitoring system and adopted a demand-based compressor air management approach to save 2.5 million kWh and $215,037 per year in energy costs.
The Compressed Air Blog
The following is an excerpt from my recent article on air blower best practices to ensure long and reliable aeration blower performance. The full version can be read online or in the July issue of Treatment Plant Operator. Blowers are integral to the wastewater treatment process, providing oxygen to help break down biological waste.
Wastewater Treatment. In wastewater treatment plants, blowers, Delta Hybrid compressors and turbos that reach maximum air discharge temperatures of 140 °C are used. A condensate trap is not needed. Wastewater treatment plants are considered to be the facilities in municipalities and cities that use the most electricity.
