RAEETS Air Bearing Blower Driving Sustainability in Thailand’s Paper & Packaging Industry 🌍
The paper and packaging industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors worldwide, with wastewater treatment accounting for a significant portion of operational costs. In Thailand, one of the country’s largest paper and packaging enterprises took a bold step to modernize its wastewater treatment process — by choosing RAETTS air bearing blowers.
Recently, RAETTS successfully delivered and commissioned 3 × 300kW air bearing blowers for this major industrial site, marking a breakthrough in both energy efficiency and sustainable wastewater management.
Why the Upgrade Was Needed
Traditional wastewater treatment systems in paper mills often rely on Roots blowers or other conventional technologies. While reliable, these systems are typically:
-
High in energy consumption ⚡
-
Costly to maintain (lubrication, parts replacement, frequent servicing)
-
Noisy and vibration-prone
For a large paper and packaging enterprise, these inefficiencies translate into higher operating costs and greater environmental impact. The company sought a solution that could deliver stable aeration performance, reduced energy consumption, and lower lifecycle costs.
The RAETTS Solution
After evaluating multiple options, the enterprise chose RAETTS air bearing blowers for their advanced technology and proven track record in wastewater treatment.
The installed system consists of:
-
3 × 300kW air bearing blowers
-
Flow rate: up to 220–240 m³/min per unit
-
Pressure: stable at 80kPa
-
Oil-free, maintenance-free design
These units are engineered to operate 24/7 under demanding industrial wastewater conditions, providing reliable aeration while keeping operational costs under control.
Measurable Results: Over 30% Energy Savings
Since commissioning, the plant has recorded over 30% energy savings compared to its old Roots blower system. For an industrial site consuming thousands of kilowatt-hours per day, this translates into:
-
💡 Massive reductions in electricity bills (hundreds of thousands of USD annually)
-
📉 Lower OPEX and faster ROI (return on investment within 1–2 years)
-
🌱 Reduced carbon footprint, aligning with sustainability goals
The enterprise has also reported quieter operations, improved working conditions, and far fewer maintenance interventions.
Setting a Benchmark for Southeast Asia
This project represents more than just an equipment upgrade — it sets a benchmark for the entire Southeast Asian paper and packaging industry. With rising energy costs and stricter environmental regulations, companies are now prioritizing high-efficiency wastewater treatment solutions.
By adopting RAETTS air bearing blowers, the Thai enterprise has positioned itself as a leader in sustainable production — saving energy, reducing costs, and protecting the environment at the same time.
