This blower package is headed to an oyster hatchery where it will be used to provide aeration. The oystery is open to the public so it was important for this blower package to be contained in an enclosure to reduce the decibels of noise generated by the equipment. The solution we provided was a small P3 pressure package featuring a Roots 22 URAI blower and 3HP motor contained in a noise enclosure with removable panels for easy access to all of the components.
