M-D Pneumatics Blower Applications
Aeration
Wastewater aeration provides additional air into wastewater in order to aid aerobic microorganisms in the consumption and biodegradation of pollutants, thereby increasing the levels of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water. A sufficient and evenly distributed oxygen supply in an aeration system is key to achieving an economically sustainable and effective wastewater treatment program. M-D Pneumatics blowers are commonly used in the activated sludge process where air is pumped into a tank and recirculated back into the aeration basin in order to increase the rate of decomposition. Due to the contaminants present, wastewater must be treated prior to being put back into the environment, making it a highly standardized and monitored process.
Steam Recompression
Blowers are often used in wastewater treatment solutions for their ability to reach specific flow and pressure requirements demanded by each application while still tolerating the harsh environment of mechanical vapor recompression (MVR). Because vapor recompression often includes water injection to help keep the working fluids saturated for condensation and to generate heat waste into energy for re-use, blowers are ideal to help reduce downtime and increase the product lifespan.
Impregnation Systems
Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) uses vacuum pressure to seal cavities in various materials such as in castings that need to be used in a leak-free application, smoothing surfaces for improved machinability, electrical windings of motors that require sealing from moisture, and infusing wood with resins to protect from exposure to the elements. The VPI process requires using a vacuum-tight chamber and pulling a vacuum to lower levels in order to remove both air and moisture from all the cavities that could trap gas or vapor.
Dry Bulk Transfer
Stationary or onsite blowers have been used throughout the dry bulk transfer application for years, being relied on to move dry bulk product such as cement, powders, crushed limestone, sand, and other granular materials. Blowers are required to be rugged and durable to withstand their exposure to the element while mounted outdoors direct driven by electric motor.
Pneumatic Conveying
The use of positive displacement blowers in pneumatic conveying provides efficient transfer of dry bulk material from point to point at varying pressures and vacuum levels. Pneumatic conveying is achieved by creating a pressure differential along a pipeline and using the air that moves toward the area of lower pressure to move the dry bulk material. This process can be accomplished with a vacuum inducer or by injecting compressed air into one end of the pipeline. Unlike other air moving technologies, MD-Kinney’s rotary positive displacement design provides constant flow regardless of pressure. Our positive displacement blowers have been successful in pneumatic conveying applications in a variety of industries for over 60 years.
Solvent Recovery
Vacuum systems are used to pump solvent vapors in many pharmaceutical applications wherever excess solvents must be removed such as in processes involving drying, distilling, synthesis of compounds, purification, and cleaning. Many organic solvents need to be recovered due to their toxicity, flammability, or environmental impact, and dry vacuum pumping systems are the ideal solution due to having no internal sealing liquid that could contaminate the process. Solvent vapors are passed through the dry vacuum system and condensed at the exhaust that provides a closed-loop for containing and recovery.
Vapor Recovery
Vapor recovery units are often incorporated into pipeline systems in order to remove harmful contaminants from crude oil products, improving purity levels and preventing the release of toxic pollutants into the environment. Local environmental protection authorities have established guidelines for the process and storage of gas and chemical products, placing a heightened response on industries to create sustainable ways to lessen vapor pressure in tanks and prevent emission release. A blower is often used in vapor recovery to boost pressure in a pipeline and push the gas into another process where it can be reused, or sent to a natural gas compressor.
Plastics
M-D Pneumatics rotary positive displacement blowers are used to move plastic pellets, flakes or chips in either vacuum or pressure dilute phase pneumatic conveying in ranges from 17″ Hg vac (-575 mbar g) to 15 PSIG (1.01 bar g).
