The B10 is a high-performance, oil-free centrifugal blower engineered for energy efficiency and long-term reliability. It is the ideal product to bring your side channel blower applications to the modern era. This case study explores the use of the B10 as a direct replacment for a side channel blower, comparing its performance to the FPZ K09-MS.
Application in Wastewater Treatment
Blowers play a critical role in various wastewater treatment stages, including:
– Aeration tanks: maintaining oxygen levels for biological digestion
– Sludge circulation: preventing solids from settling and improving treatment efficiency
– Odor control: supporting ventilation systems and biofilters
The B10 is particularly well-suited for these applications due to its oil-free design, energy efficiency, and compact form factor.

Neo Air’s B10 provides substantial operational advantages in wastewater treatment facilities:
– Lower annual energy costs (over £4,200 in savings)
– Lightweight, oil-free, and maintenance-friendly
– Compact design ideal for both new installations and retrofits, with no need for filters or post processing of air.
Compared to the side channel blower, the B10 offers superior cost efficiency, easier servicing, and greater long-term sustainability.
The B10 initial purchase price may be higher, however the B10 will have payback within one year based on energy savings alone when chosen over the side channel blower.
A 15HP version is also available with map performance shown in image opposite.
