RSR & MTRG Roots Blower | Wastewater Sewage Aeration | SHANGU MingTian

SHANGU® RSR / MTRG Series Roots Blowers for Wastewater Aeration & Wastewater Treatment

Product Overview

For municipal sewage, industrial wastewater and decentralized rural wastewater projects, aeration roots blowers serve as core oxygen‑supply equipment for biochemical treatment. They deliver compressed air for aerobic‑tank microorganism organic‑matter degradation, sludge agitation, pre‑aeration, dissolved‑air flotation and denitrification processes.

SHANGU® RSR & MTRG tri‑lobe roots blowers are engineered by Shandong Mingtian Machinery Group for medium‑low‑pressure, 24/7 heavy‑duty and high‑humidity wastewater conditions. As positive‑displacement blowers, they maintain stable volumetric airflow even under diffuser clogging and water‑level fluctuation.

Widely applied in municipal sewage, chemical‑plant effluent, aquaculture wastewater, printing‑dyeing wastewater and decentralized rural sewage stations. Material options include standard HT250 cast‑iron housing & rotors, heavy‑duty epoxy coating, optional 304 / 316 L stainless‑steel rotors and casings for corrosive industrial effluent.

Rare Practical Field Tips (Seldom Published Online)

  1. All catalogue nominal data are based on standard suction condition (20 °C, 101.3 kPa, RH 65 %). At high‑altitude or high‑ambient‑temperature sites, air density drops and mass oxygen‑supply capacity decreases. Condition correction is mandatory; add an 8‑12 % flow margin for every 1000 m elevation rise. Never directly adopt catalogue parameters without site‑specific correction.
  2. For wastewater‑treatment selection: working pressure is NOT equal to tank water depth. Total pressure drop shall include pipe friction loss, elbow loss and aeration‑diffuser resistance. Many projects suffer insufficient oxygen supply and non‑compliant effluent COD because pressure is calculated only by water depth.
  3. Wastewater‑treatment intake air carries large amounts of water vapour. Ordinary rubber seals age rapidly. Even for ordinary sewage service, upgraded moisture‑resistant seals are recommended to avoid oil leakage and gradual flow decay within 8‑12 months.
  4. Avoid excessive safety margin: if flow‑pressure margin exceeds 30 %, blowers operate under long‑term low‑load status, resulting in 20 %+ extra power consumption. Reasonable engineering margin is 10‑15 %.
  5. Multi‑layer anti‑backflow protection is required for shutdown risk. A swing check‑valve alone is insufficient; a bypass vent pipeline shall be equipped to prevent wastewater backflow into blower casing.

Applicable Industry Standards

  • JB/T 8941.1‑2014: Roots type blowers for general purpose — Part 1: Specification
  • JB/T 8941.2‑2014: Roots type blowers for general purpose — Part 2: Performance test method
  • HJ/T 251‑2006: Environmental‑protection product technical requirement for roots blowers (for water‑treatment & flue‑gas treatment)
  • GB/T 2888‑2008: Method of noise measurement for fans and roots blowers
  • GB 28381‑2026: Minimum allowable values of energy‑efficiency and energy‑efficiency grades for blowers

Standard Equivalence Note

JB/T 8941.1‑2014 is MOD (Modified Adoption) of ISO 1217:2009 Displacement compressors — Acceptance tests, NOT identical adoption. Third‑party ISO 1217 lab reports serve only as reference. Domestic Chinese wastewater‑treatment projects shall perform final acceptance according to JB/T and HJ/T standards. Differences exist in 24‑hour heavy‑duty test criteria, allowable internal‑leakage deviation and accessory‑assessment clauses. Pay attention for overseas retrofit projects.

Unit‑Conversion Guide (For Tender & Cross‑border Comparison)

Pressure:
9.8 kPa = 0.1 kgf/cm² = 1000 mmH₂O = 1.422 psi

Flow:
1 m³/min = 60 m³/h = 35.71 CFM

Gas‑state conversion:
Standard suction‑state flow Qₛ (20 ℃) = Qₙ (0 ℃) × 1.0732

Important remark: Catalogue performance is measured under 20 ℃ standard suction condition. Flow correction shall be applied for high‑altitude & high‑temperature sites. Clearly mark gas‑state definition in inquiry documents to avoid parameter misunderstanding.

Key Buyer Concerns (Explicit Requirements & Hidden Field Pain‑points)

✅ Explicit Requirements

  • Flow & pressure matching tank depth, total resistance of piping + aeration diffuser, to satisfy biochemical oxygen demand;
  • Noise & vibration comply with plant‑site boundary environmental regulations;
  • Initial‑investment budget and motor‑power requirements;
  • Support VFD linkage with DO (dissolved‑oxygen) transmitter.

✅ Hidden Pain‑points (Production‑loss risk often outweighs equipment price gap)

  • Seal‑ageing risk under humid atmosphere: Wastewater plants operate under high‑humidity ambient conditions. Ordinary seals degrade quickly by water‑vapour exposure, leading to oil leakage and flow decay, further causing insufficient oxygen supply and non‑compliant effluent.
  • 24‑7 continuous‑run reliability: Municipal sewage plants run non‑stop all year round. Units ≥ 60 kPa(gauge) shall adopt water‑cooling construction to avoid oil overheating, oil emulsification and unplanned shutdown that triggers wastewater‑discharge violation.
  • Resistance‑fluctuation adaptability: Aeration diffusers clog gradually and raise system back‑pressure. Positive‑displacement blowers shall keep stable effective airflow for consistent microorganism oxygen supply.
  • Total‑lifecycle energy cost: Aeration blowers consume 40‑60 % of total power consumption of a wastewater plant. Evaluate long‑term electricity cost and spare‑part expense instead of focusing merely on purchase price. Improper margin setting causes huge extra power‑cost loss.
  • Anti‑backflow protection & after‑sales response: Wastewater backflow causes severe equipment damage. Sudden blower failure will lead to effluent non‑compliance within short time. Manufacturers shall provide condition calculation, fast spare‑part delivery and on‑site technical support.

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

  1. Never subject pipeline weight onto blower flanges. Install flexible expansion joints both at inlet and outlet to eliminate pipe stress and isolate vibration transmission.
  2. For wastewater‑aeration service: equip swing check‑valve + bypass vent‑valve on discharge pipeline; set blower mounting elevation higher than maximum tank liquid‑level as much as practical for multi‑layer anti‑backflow protection.
  3. Install filter elements inside cooling‑water circuit for regular descaling for water‑cooled blowers.
  4. Perform shift‑based inspection for pressure, running current, bearing temperature and seal water‑vapour leakage. Shorten service interval for inlet‑filter and sealing components under high‑humidity environment.
  5. Inspect rotor corrosion and seal ageing during annual shutdown maintenance; proactively replace wearing parts to avoid unplanned shutdown and effluent non‑compliance risk.
