Duplex Single Phase Pressure Package

One of our current packages is unique in that it features two separate blower packages housed on a duplex base. This pressure system will be exported to South America to provide aeration in a water treatment application. Our customer wanted this unique configuration so the blower packages can be alternated, while saving space with a small footprint.
