Sep 22, 2008 | Siemens to Provide Wastewater Treatment Solution to help Chinese City Restore Water Quality in Taihu LakeThe Chinese city of Wuxi, in Jiangsu province, has selected Siemens to provide a solution to treat municipal waste water and help restore the water quality of Taihu Lake. An important water source for 30 million people, the lake has been heavily polluted by municipal sewage and industrial wastewater. The solution from Siemens will include a Membrane Biological Reactor (MBR) system for the upgrading of Wuxi Xincheng Wastewater Treatment Plant, one of the city’s three main wastewater treatment plants. The MBR system will treat 30,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day, and will play an important role in helping the city to treat more than 90 percent of its wastewater by 2010. The system is scheduled for commissioning at the end of 2008. more |
Sep 22, 2008 | Siemens Unveils New Dual-Action Ballast Water Management System at SMM 2008Siemens Water Technologies is launching a new ballast water management system to the marine industry. Used by itself or in conjunction with Siemens’ Chloropac biofouling control technology, the Sicure system combines physical separation with a proprietary process of on-demand treatment with biocides produced in-situ from seawater. The dual-action system, which provides ballast water treatment and biofouling control, will be featured at the 2008 Shipbuilding Machinery & Marine Technology (SMM) International Trade Fair in Hamburg, Germany from September 23 to 26. more |
Sep 10, 2008 | Siemens to Provide Process Control and Automation System for the Lodz Wastewater Treatment Plant in PolandSiemens has been awarded a contract to provide a process control and automation system, and electrical works for the sludge incineration plant at the Lodz wastewater treatment facility in Lodz, Poland. The 3.5M PLN (over 1M Eur) project is part of an ongoing plant modernization, which was required to treat an increased amount of wastewater and thus meet the requirements of the European Union Directive No. 91/271/EEC. The capacity of the plant has increased to 200,000 m3/day (rainless weather), or 52 percent of the total wastewater in the region, which requires the proper sludge management process implementation. more |
Aug 15, 2008 | Siemens to Provide IPS Composting System Agitators for Burlington County, New Jersey Composting PlantSiemens Water Technologies has been awarded a contract to provide five IPS Composting System agitators to the Burlington County, New Jersey Board of Chosen Freeholders, as part of an upgrade to the county’s 10-year-old composting plant. The plant supports the county’s biosolids composting and beneficial use program for 14 municipal wastewater treatment plants. The new IPS equipment will replace the plant’s existing 10-year-old Siemens’ composting agitators. Two agitators will be delivered this year, with the other three installed in early 2009. This schedule will allow the capital cost to be spread out for two fiscal years, and the entire order delivered within the shortest time frame so as not to impede plant operations. more |
Aug 08, 2008 | U.S. East Coast City Installs Second Siemens SCADA SystemSiemens Water Technologies will provide Meriden, Conn., with a second Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, valued at US$1.3 million. The city’s latest system, to be installed as part of an upgrade at its 11.6-MGD Water Pollution Control Facility, will be compatible with the SCADA system supplied by Siemens to Meriden’s water division facilities in 2002. Once the new SCADA system comes online in early 2010, it will allow the city to control and monitor 1,550 process-related database points, make informed decisions regarding the operation of the pollution control facility, and optimize process operations. This, in turn, will improve the facility’s effluent. more |

Jul 30, 2008 | Siemens Water Technologies to Provide Clarification Technology for Metro Wastewater Reclamation District in DenverSiemens Water Technologies will provide secondary clarification systems for the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District’s (MWRD) North Secondary Treatment Complex Improvements Project in Denver. The plant upgrade will include twelve 130 foot diameter Tow-Bro clarifier mechanisms for secondary treatment. The new clarifiers will improve performance over the existing organ pipe type clarifiers – specifically, improved energy dissipation and velocity profile control, improved flocculation, and even sludge withdrawal, particularly important under poor solids settling conditions. The project is scheduled for completion in 2012. more |
Jul 22, 2008 | Siemens Water Technologies to Supply System for Treating Flue Gas Desulfurization Scrubber Wastewater at Keystone Power StationReliant Energy has selected Siemens Water Technologies to provide a system to treat wastewater from a Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) scrubber being constructed at the Keystone Generating Station. Keystone is jointly owned by seven electric companies, including Reliant Energy, which also maintains and operates the station on behalf of all owners. The wastewater treatment system will de-saturate the wastewater and remove suspended solids and heavy metals from the scrubber waste stream so the water can be safely discharged. The project is scheduled to begin operation in 2009. more |
Jun 25, 2008 | Siemens Sludge Disintegration System Agreement Broadens Company’s Biogas Production and Storage PortfolioSiemens Water Technologies has entered into a licensing agreement with CSO Technik Ltd. to supply and service the Crown sludge disintegration system in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The U.S. patented cell lysing process eliminates digester foaming, increases gas production by up to 30%, and reduces solids for disposal by 20%. The Crown system complements Siemens’ Dystor dual-membrane gas holder system that captures biogas produced by the anaerobic process. The Crown agreement will round out Siemens’ anaerobic digestion product portfolio, making it a leader in the municipal biogas market in North America. more |
Jun 23, 2008 | Siemens to develop innovative seawater desalination technology expected to reduce energy consumption by 50 percent - Four million SGD grant from Singapore EWISiemens Water Technologies will develop an innovative seawater desalination technology, which could cut energy consumption by at least 50 percent compared to existing desalination technologies. The development of advanced desalination technology has been awarded a four million SGD research grant from Singapore’s Environment and Water Industry Development Council (EWI). “We truly consider this developing technology a breakthrough in the desalination market — with significant global implications on water resource management and the wider use of desalination in the future,” said Chuck Gordon, CEO of Siemens Water Technologies. more |
