A blower is a technical equipment that is used to change the direction of the air at moderate air pressure. It is applied for blowing the gas or air within a specific area. It can produce pressure at a maximum of 202 kilopascal, which is equivalent to 2 atmospheres. The blower is used in the wastewater treatment plant, air conditioner, and so on.

Working Principle of The Blower
The blower absorbs the gas by the centrifugal movement of the impeller, and it helps to increase the pressure. The impeller of the blowers rotates, and the channels present in the impeller push the air forward by centrifugal movement. A helical movement also occurs. The produced pressure increases in a linear way. The gas is also compressed continuously throughout the channel.
Mainly two types of air blowers are used within the industrial application, and these are positive displacement blower and centrifugal blower. The rotary lobe positive displacement air blower is used within the water treatment plant. It is also used for sewage treatment, cement plants, pneumatic conveying in industries, aeration tanks, aquaculture tanks, and so on. Two eight-shaped rotors rotate for the displacement of the air from the inlet side to the outlet side.
The pair of rotors move in the opposite direction with a circular motion at an equal speed. The external source of power drives one of the rotors, and the equal ratio gears drive the other rotor. It helps to achieve a constant flow rate with differential pressure.
Application of The Blower
The water treatment plant helps to purify the impure water using bacteria. The bacteria helps to degrade the organic matter present within the impure water. The bacteria need oxygen to continue this process. The blower is employed in the aeration tank of the water treatment plant. It provides enough oxygen to the bacteria to continue the purification of water.
Presently, the rotary lobe PD blower is available with energy features. It is a complete economic process to supply the needed amount of air for the purification process.
