    Magnetic Bearing Solutions

    For the Water and Wastewater Industry

    The rising cost of energy coupled with the rising cost of maintenance has forced the Wastewater industry to look for ways to reduce these costs. Approximately 50 percent of a wastewater facility's energy costs are attributed to the aeration process. Magnetic bearing technology combined with variable speed, permanent magnet motor technology enable operating speeds up to 60,000 rpm. Energy savings are realized by reduced frictional losses, improved motor efficiency, and improved part-load efficiency of the compressor. Collectively, users of this technology can reduce their energy costs by up to 30%!

    Magnetic bearings and high-speed motors and drives from Synchrony provide energy savings with reduced frictional losses, improved motor efficiency, and improved part-load efficiency of the compressor.

    Furthermore, this technology allows a significant reduction in maintenance costs — making the decision to utilize this technology a simple choice. As maintenance and energy expenses are the two largest components of operating costs, choosing a centrifugal blower with Synchrony's magnetic bearings will be a money saving decision.

     

    Magnetic bearings can be utilized as a replacement for the high thrust, fluid film bearings used in many vertical motors and pumps. By replacing these oil film bearings with magnetic bearings, the operation can eliminate the high maintenance and environmental issues associated with oil lubrication systems, including the monitoring, handling, storage, and leak mitigation of the oil. Moreover, magnetic bearings virtually eliminate all of the thrust losses associated with conventional bearings, improving overall efficiency by as much as 2-3% and eliminating the need for oil baths and auxiliary cooling coils.

     

    Synchrony's products offer clean, efficient, and reliable solutions for the Water and Wastewater Industry.
