Jun 23, 2008 | Singapore is cutting-edge for further expansion of Siemens Water Technologies – Growing business with Innovative Solutions and by Proximity to Customers in Asia PacificSiemens Water Technologies in Singapore has started providing water treatment solutions and services in South East Asia, India and China. “We expand our business network out from Singapore with innovative products, water treatment solutions and operational services in order to reinforce our local presence and our proximity to the customer”, explained Chuck Gordon, CEO of Siemens Water Technologies, to the press in Singapore on Monday. He is expecting “considerable” further growth in the Asia Region thanks to establishing the worldwide R&D Center of Water Technologies in Singapore. “Unlike elsewhere Singapore public authorities and research institutes have proactively identified the urgency of water management and the need for innovative technological solutions and services”, Gordon said. This provides an ideal background for further expansion of business. more |
Jun 23, 2008 | Siemens and Singapore’s A*Star to establish joint Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory to improve water treatment technologiesSiemens Water Technologies and the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), a research institute within Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star), have agreed to establish a joint Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Laboratory. Both partners want to research fluid dynamics of water treatment processes to improve efficiency of equipment and treatment technology and reduce lifecycle costs of operation. “Based on these results we are able to develop the next generation of water treatment equipment for industrial and municipal applications”, said Dr Ruediger Knauf, Vice President R&D Siemens Water Technologies. more |
Jun 23, 2008 | Siemens and Singapore’s PUB cooperate on full-scale MBR validation plant at Changi Water Reclamation PlantSiemens Water Technologies and the Singapore Public Utility Board (PUB) have agreed to cooperate on a full-scale membrane bioreactor testing facility at PUB’s Changi Water Reclamation Plant. The new, 250,000 gpd (1.0 million liter/day) MBR system will treat domestic wastewater and test new innovative design parameters for the Siemens MBR system. PUB will provide the location for the new plant, while Siemens will be responsible for all operation and maintenance aspects of the validation plant. Siemens expects the plant to be in operation for a minimum of five years. more |
Jun 09, 2008 | Siemens Starts Up Wastewater Reuse System in Beijing, ChinaThree months before the beginning of the 2008 games in Beijing, Siemens Water Technologies has started up a wastewater reuse system at the city’s Beixiaohe wastewater treatment plant. The city will use eco-friendly technologies in water/wastewater management. The goal is to process 90% of the wastewater, with 50% for recycle and reuse. The solution that Siemens provided includes a Memjet Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system, which treats wastewater for reuse in the Olympic Village central area, fountains and lakes. The treatment system has more than doubled the plant’s capacity, from 40,000 m3/day to 100,000 m3/day. more |
Jun 09, 2008 | Siemens Water Technologies to Supply Water Treatment Equipment for City of Galesburg, IllinoisThe City of Galesburg, Illinois has selected Siemens Water Technologies to provide equipment for a new $17.5M water treatment plant to be located near Oquawka, Illinois. Currently, the city obtains its groundwater from an aquifer near Oquawka, which is located along the Mississippi River. The water is chlorinated and then pumped approximately 56 km (30 miles) to an existing treatment facility in Galesburg. Over time, the high level of chlorine has corroded the pipeline, and sections of it must be replaced. The new plant near Oquawka will allow the water to be treated closer to the source before sending it to Galesburg, thus reducing the amount of chlorine required. The 45-MLD (12-MGD) plant is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2010. more |
Jun 09, 2008 | Siemens Celebrates 25 Years of Membrane InnovationThis year marks the 25th anniversary of the MEMCOR membrane filtration product line of Siemens Water Technologies. These innovative membranes have been installed in thousands of drinking water, wastewater reuse and industrial plants worldwide, offering a sustainable, reliable and cost-effective solution to these plants’ water management needs. more |
Jun 09, 2008 | Chlorination as a Drinking Water Disinfectant: 100 Years and CountingThis year marks the 100th anniversary of one of the most significant public health advancements of the millennium: the introduction of drinking water chlorination on a large scale. In 1908, the Jersey City, New Jersey Water Works became the first U.S. water system to chlorinate on a permanent basis. The practice spread to other areas of the country, virtually eliminating waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery and hepatitis A. Sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) in the parts-per-million level was added to water to eliminate the micro-organisms that caused the waterborne disease outbreaks. Hypochlorite, however, was not easy to handle, and application at low feed rates was difficult and often unreliable. This problem was solved in 1913 by the Wallace & Tiernan Company with the invention of a chlorine gas feeder they aptly named the chlorinator. more |
Jun 05, 2008 | Siemens and German Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg Develop innovative Solutions for Mine Water ProblemsSiemens VAI and the TU Bergakademie Freiberg Technical University for Mining and Technology have formed a cooperation to develop innovative solution concepts for the mine water problem. The research team connects fundamental as well as applied knowledge from laboratory and pilot scale to the scale of mining operations and creates new interfaces between different areas of science that can help to find new solutions for old problems. more |
May 05, 2008 | The new SFC series: systematic measuring and controllingThe flexible SFC devices from Siemens Water Technologies constitute a new measuring and controlling series which complements the concept of the multi-functional MFC system. The SFC series is intended for single measurements of water parameters as is necessary in simple applications. One main function is controlled chemical dosing which is used when disinfectant has to be added, for example. The series of devices matches the MFC system not only in terms of design and dimensions but also in terms of the range of functions. The two types of device are based on the same software and can therefore be combined and communicate with each other via a CAN bus. more |
Apr 23, 2008 | Siemens to Supply Filtration and Produced Water Treatment System for Su Tu Vang Central Processing Platform, Offshore VietnamJ. Ray McDermott Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (JRMAP) has selected Siemens Water Technologies to provide filtration and produced water treatment systems to the new Su Tu Vang CPP (Central Processing Platform) to be operated by the Cuu Long Joint Operating Company, offshore Vietnam. The order amount is US$ 4.6M. The filtration system will include fine and coarse filters that will be included in a seawater injection system for the removal of particulates. The produced water treatment system will include a skim vessel, hydrocyclones and dissolved gas flotation (DGF) equipment to treat produced water to meet discharge limitations. Project completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2008. more |
