Power Mizer High Efficiency Cast Centrifugal Blowers For Water & Wastewater Treatment Systems
Spencer high-efficiency blowers reduce operating
Spencer Power Mizer multistage centrifugal blowers provide high efficiency air delivery for water and wastewater treatment applications such as sewage aeration, odor control, grit chamber aeration, channel aeration and filter backwash.

The rotor assembly contains cast aluminum impellers with threedimensional blades that transfer energy to the airstream with very high efficiency. Blade configurations include radial, backswept and combinations of both, selected by Spencer engineers using specialized computer software.
This efficiency is achieved without baffle rings at each stage. The result is a much simpler design with fewer parts.
Precisely balanced rotors
Spencers exacting balancing procedures produce an overall vibration level of 1.0 mil or lessthe best in the industry. This decreases bearing stress, which improves bearing life and blower reliability.
Example: A New England WWT utility replaced five positive displacement aeration blowers (aggregate 450 HP, 3500 SCFM) with three Power Mizer blowers (each 190 HP, 4000 SCFM). Even with only one blower running at a time, the customer saves $7,000 per month in power bills and expects the blowers to pay for themselves in four years or less.
Superior aerodynamics
The air handling components of these blowers were designed in the Spencer Development Laboratory. By avoiding abrupt velocity changes that create turbulence and waste energy, Spencer engineers achieved smoother, more energy-efficient airflow from blower inlet to discharge. Uniquely shaped impellers, return channels with airfoil-shaped vanes, redesigned inlet and discharge passages and vaneless diffusers all contribute to a peak adiabatic efficiency that is above 80%.
Product range Year-in, year-out savings
Power Mizer blowers offer long-term power savings of tens of thousands of dollars per blower per year. And you can often downsize the motor to save even more! Example: (assuming savings of 38 HP for one blower). 38 x .746 = 28.348 kW saved. 28.348 x 24 x 365 (continuous annual operation) = 248,328 kWH. 248,328 x $.10/kWH (local utility cost) = $24,832. Motor efficiency of 95% yields an actual savings of $26,139 on an annual basis. Five Power Mizer series with two to eight stages per blower. Pressure to 20 PSIG; volume to 25,000 ICFM; power to 2000 HP. Choice of oil or grease lubrication in Series 3000 and 4000 blowers, all others oil-lubricated.
Remember, you can save only once on the purchase price, but youll save continuously with a more efficient blower!
costs and provide quick payback on your investment.
Power Mizer Series 5000 blower is part of high efficiency aeration system controlling dissolved oxygen in activated sludge lagoons at a New England WWT facility. Complete air delivery system was designed and furnished by Spencer, including PLCs, variable frequency drives, DO control logic, operator interface, modem communication software and blower protection devices.
