Oct 20, 2008 | Siemens: Continued High Investment Potential in Water BusinessSiemens continues to see favorable prospects in its water business despite the current economic downturn. “Urbanization and water shortage are long-term trends which will determine the need for water treatment and recycling solutions”, explained Jens Wegmann who, as CEO of the Industrial Solutions Division, is responsible for the water business at Siemens. “We are sticking to our view,” said Wegmann in Chicago on Monday at Weftec, the biggest water fair in North America, “that the markets for water treatment will continue to grow worldwide.” Thanks to its wide-ranging business portfolio and its global corporate access to customers, Siemens Water Technologies is well equipped to compensate for any investment delays at municipal level in individual countries as a result of its industrial and modernization business. more |
Oct 20, 2008 | Siemens and ACE Korea Reach Exclusive Distributor Agreement for Electro-Osmosis Dehydrator in North America and ChinaSiemens Water Technologies and ACE Korea, Inc. (Busan, Korea) have recently reached an exclusive distributorship agreement to promote ELODE (Electro-Osmosis Dehydrator) in North America and China. This unique electro-dewatering device extracts both free and absorbed water from organic and inorganic residual materials. With efficiencies yielding greater than 40 percent dry solids, typical municipal and industrial waste sludge volumes can be reduced by half, or more. The ELODE technology uses less energy consumption than some other drying technologies. more |
Oct 20, 2008 | Siemens Introduces Sludge Belt Dryer for Improved Biosolids ManagementSiemens Water Technologies is adding the new Sludge Belt Dryer to its array of sludge dewatering options. This convective dryer is supplied in a one- or two-belt design that provides uniform evaporation and has an adjustable speed belt to vary residence times. System advantages include efficient operation in minimal space, low emissions, low dust, a granular final product and a low thermal requirement with possible heat recovery from low temperature waste energy sources. By making better use of wastewater solids and waste heat, communities can lower their energy costs, helping to save space in landfills and encouraging the recycling of nutrient-rich wastewater solids. more |
