In 1931, the Roots-Connersville Blower Company became the first blower manufacturer to apply positive
displacement blower technology to the wastewater process. Just five short years later, we were the first
manufacturer to apply centrifugal blowers to the process.
With the 2011 acquisition of Dresser*, GE maintains a reputation for world-class efficiency, ingenuity,
durability and reliability.
Today GE Energy’s Roots blower technology optimizes the performance of a wastewater aeration process
by utilizing principles such as Flow Control and Most-Open-Valve, in combination with our proprietary
control algorithm.
GE’s controls engineers across energy have hundreds of years experience in providing energy efficient
controls. Proprietary control strategies for Dissolved Oxygen (DO) control include direct flow control and
Most-Open-Valve (MOV) logic.
GE Energy offers advanced aeration solution technology
to the wastewater industry.

positive displacement blowers can be controlled with variable
frequency drives to match air flow to process demands. The result is
high process performance and low energy demand.
Packaged blower systems with factory integrated controls provide
simplified installation, low noise and reliable operation.
