From Planes to WWTPs: Wastewater Technology Finds Inspiration in Surprising Places

PublicationsBy APG NeurosMarch 1, 2009

Often, a technology’s initial application is only the beginning of its usefulness. After a technology is proven in one industry, another may adapt it to suit its needs. As wastewater treatment professionals look to improve efficiencies, some are turning to technologies that originated far afield from wastewater treatment — in aerospace, for instance. Airplanes and…

“The most significant advantage of the APG-Neuros turbo blower we have seen over the previous multi-stage centrifugal blowers is the ability to maintain efficiency when wastewater influent flows are lower, helping to minimize the electrical costs to our ratepayers.”

William Burke, WWTP Superintendent – Webster, MA

Model #: NX150-C070 (2) – Since July 2010
“The Webster wastewater treatment facility’s APG-Neuros blowers were installed as part of a phosphorous removal system installation upgrade in 2010 and during that time the energy savings have more than offset our increased operational costs for intermediate pumping, chemicals and increased sludge production associated with the phosphorous removal system. Our blower maintenance costs have dropped to almost nothing and have rarely exceeded the monthly cost of new air filters.”

Jim Jacobsen Sr., DePue Mechanical, Inc., City of Joliet East Side, IL

Model #: NX350-C070 (4) – March 2012 & March 2014
“APG-Neuros may well be among the nicest or the nicest company we have ever had the privilege to work with and your team member was a pleasure to speak with. We appreciate all of our vendors, partners and friends, but your company ranks at the very top of the list. Thank you for the great news you had for us today regarding the expedited delivery of the turbo blowers ”

JWes Kucera, Director of Wastewater Treatment, City of Garland, Texas

Model #: NX300-C060 (2) – Since December 2010

Model #: NX300-C070 (5) – NX100-C050 (3) – Since April 2011
“McAllen Public Utility (MPU) operates water and wastewater treatment facilities across the City of McAllen, Texas. As part of our Strategic Plan, we upgraded the North WWTP. The North WWTP included new aeration blowers. Based on a competitive bidding process that was based on the capital cost and guaranteed performance APG-Neuros was the low bidder. The North WWTP started up in November 2012. MPU operates five (5) NX300 HP blowers for the aeration process and three (3) NX100 HP blowers for the digestion process. Our experience with APG-Neuros blowers are recommended without reservation.

Stephen Misiurak, City Engineer, Gig Harbor, WA

Model #: NX75-C070 (1) & NX100D-C070 (1) - Since May 2007
"As the City Engineer for over 19 years at the City of Gig Harbor in Washington State, I can attest and affirm the quality and performance of the APG-Neuros energy efficient Turbo Blowers without hesitation. The City had originally installed one of the first prototype units at the WWTP in the early 2000s and again when the plant was expanded in mid 2015, with additional blowers, as the blowers had and continue to exceed performance and longevity standards, with a warranty and support that is second to none."

Jim Landon, Senior Operator, Gig Harbor, WA

Model #: NX75-C070 (1) & NX100D-C070 (1) - Since May 2007
"It has been my pleasure to work with 2 exceptional employees you have at APG-Neuros. Brett Carnright and Kevin Chamberlain have been helping me with the programming and troubleshooting after installing 5 new VFD’s. Brett and Kevin showcased an extensive knowledge and understanding of your turbo blowers. Brett was readily available and always willing to help these past few weeks with reprogramming my drives and doing some extra investigation into a previous issue I was having. It is always great to do business with a company that has a fantastic product. With employees like Brett and Kevin it just enhances the overall experience."

Hank Andres, Director of Wastewater Operations & Optimization - Region of Peel at OCWA, Ontario, Canada

Various Projects since 2020

Model #: NX200-C080 & NX250-C070 (2) - Since 2012

Barry J. Van Auken, WWTP Supervisor, City of Owasso, OK

Model #: NX200-C080 (7) - Since 2020
“It has been a pleasure working you and your staff over the past year and a half! It’s not often that we get this level of supportive customer service.”

Jon Burke, WWTP Superintendent, City of Wyoming, MI

Model #: NX700D & 1.1MW (2) - Since 2023
“APG has been great to work with through the study/design process, working with the City on a rental unit under emergency conditions when several of the old existing blowers failed, and during the actual purchase and installation process of the new blowers. We were able to replace five old multistage centrifugal blowers with two of the new 1.1MW Blowers and an additional 700 Dual core unit for very low demand conditions. The installation process is still ongoing, but the performance of the first 1MW unit has been great with a better than anticipated turn down ratio. We are really looking forward to the completion of the project and realizing the projected energy savings resulting from the upgraded equipment.”
