Aeration is typically the single largest energy consumer in wastewater treatment plants, often accounting for more than half of total plant electricity usage. Achieving the right balance between air delivery and oxygen transfer is essential to reduce operating costs while maintaining process performance. 

At Ökotechnik, we help wastewater treatment facilities optimize their aeration systems through the integration of high-efficiency Robuschi blowers and advanced SSI diffuser technologies, delivering reliable, energy-efficient solutions tailored to each application. 

We are all part of the same company group, Ingersoll Rand. 

Complete Aeration System Optimisation

An efficient aeration system requires more than selecting a blower or a diffuser independently. True optimization considers the entire air delivery chain, including: 

  • Air generation
  • Air distribution
  • Oxygen transfer efficiency
  • Process control
  • System flexibility

By combining Robuschi blower technology with SSI's proven diffuser solutions, we deliver a fully integrated approach that maximizes performance and long-term value.

High-Efficiency Robuschi Blower Technologies

Every wastewater process has unique operating requirements. Robuschi offers a complete portfolio of blower technologies to match different flow rates, pressure demands and control strategies. 

Rotary Lobe Blowers 

Reliable and robust solutions for applications requiring durability and continuous operation. 

Benefits: 

  • Proven technology
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Long service life
  • Suitable for variable operating conditions

Screw Blowers 

Designed for superior energy efficiency and optimized lifecycle costs. 

Benefits: 

  • High isentropic efficiency
  • Reduced power consumption
  • Low noise and vibration levels
  • Advanced control capabilities

Turbo Blowers 

The ideal choice for facilities targeting maximum energy savings. 

Benefits: 

  • Exceptional efficiency at design conditions
  • Oil-free air delivery
  • Compact footprint
  • Reduced maintenance requirements

SSI Diffuser Solutions for Maximum Oxygen Transfer

The diffuser system plays a critical role in determining aeration efficiency. 

SSI's advanced diffuser technologies are designed to achieve high oxygen transfer rates while ensuring durability and consistent performance over time. 

Fine Bubble Diffusers 

Fine bubble diffusion increases oxygen transfer efficiency by producing a large number of small bubbles with greater surface area. 

Key advantages: 

  • Reduced blower energy demand
  • Higher oxygen transfer efficiency
  • Improved biological process performance
  • Lower overall operating costs

Engineered for Long-Term Reliability 

SSI diffuser systems are designed to provide: 

  • Uniform air distribution
  • Consistent oxygen delivery
  • Resistance to fouling
  • Long membrane life
  • Easy installation and maintenance

Why Optimise Both Blowers and Diffusers?

Installing an efficient blower without optimizing the diffuser system can limit potential energy savings. Likewise, high-performance diffusers require the right blower technology and control strategy to deliver maximum benefits. 

An integrated optimization approach provides: 

Lower Energy Consumption 

Efficient air production combined with high oxygen transfer performance reduces overall power requirements. 

Reduced Lifecycle Costs 

Lower energy use and minimized maintenance contribute to a lower total cost of ownership. 

Improved Process Stability 

Precise airflow control ensures consistent dissolved oxygen levels and biological treatment performance. 

Future-Proof Flexibility 

Systems can adapt to seasonal load variations, plant expansions and evolving process requirements.
