Featuring Unmatched Corrosion Resistance, Advanced Leakage Prevention, Explosion-Proof Motors and Unrivaled Longevity for Reliable Biogas Collection and Renewable Energy Optimization

Kent, OH - Bison®, a leader in innovative air-moving and power-transmission technologies, highlights innovative excellence with its ROTRON® CP and EN Regenerative Blowers. Designed to give engineering firms a competitive edge in biogas digester systems, these blowers are engineered for the harshest and most corrosive environments. They ensure the safe, efficient collection and movement of biogas from sources like farms, landfills, and lagoons. By maximizing methane capture, these ROTRON Regenerative Blowers help engineering firms deliver solutions that increase renewable energy revenue for their clients, providing long-term value and sustainability.

The Most Corrosion Resistant Blowers
Constructed from aluminum, these blowers are naturally spark- and corrosion-resistant, distinguishing them from competitors' blowers typically made of steel or other materials vulnerable to corrosion. This advantage is further enhanced by the inclusion of stainless-steel nuts, bolts, and hardware, standard across all ROTRON® Chemical Processing Regenerative Blowers. In contrast, many competitors opt for low-cost zinc-plated fasteners that are more susceptible to corrosion.

The proprietary Chem Tough™ process used in ROTRON Regenerative Blowers transforms the aluminum into an oxide ceramic with selected fluorocarbons, providing unparalleled levels of chemical resistance, hardness, and permanent lubricity. Additionally, ROTRON Regenerative Blowers feature full C face motors designed to protect motor windings and bearings from corrosive gases and the airstream. Competitors often use half motors exposing these parts to corrosive gases, which can lead to blower downtime.

Reduce Leakage for Optimal Safety and Gas Usage
To minimize leakage, the Bison Lo-Leak™ option employs a Teflon™ lip seal and RTV sealing compound to eliminate all leakage paths at the blowers' metal-to-metal surfaces. Furthermore, the double-faced carbon seal option enhances gas containment by employing two face seals working against each other on opposite sides of a common mating ring.

Explosion-Proof Motors
ROTRON Regenerative Blowers offer explosion-proof motors that are the safest in the market, rated for Class 1, Division 1, Group D hazardous areas. Unlike competitors that use Division 2-rated motors, ROTRON motors provide superior safety. Each motor is equipped with thermal protection, shutting off at specific temperatures through the customers' control circuits. Bison also offers a comprehensive variety of explosion-proof motors, including Inverter-Duty motors for use with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and Chemical-Duty XP motors for handling corrosive and explosive gases.

Highest Performance, Longest Life in Demanding Applications
Engineered for the most challenging environments, ROTRON Regenerative Blowers deliver remarkable durability, boasting a lifespan of more than 25,000 hours. These blowers are virtually maintenance-free and operate quietly, minimizing distractions while enhancing the comfort and well-being of both animals and staff.

Bison offers tailored models of regenerative blowers designed for biogas specific applications. The ROTRON Chemical Processing (CP) Regenerative Blowers are engineered for corrosive and hazardous environments. The ROTRON Environmental (EN) Regenerative Blowers come standard with explosion-proof motors and a low-leak seal package, prioritizing safety and preventing leakage.
