Apr 02, 2008 | Siemens Successfully Introduces MBR and Discfilter Technologies in European MarketsSiemens Water Technologies announced today successful introduction of two innovations for reuse of wastewater plant effluent for the European market. A new membrane module enhances the performance of the membrane bioreactors (MBR). Pleated filtration panels offer increased filtration area for disc filters. “Both innovations increase capacity of water treatment plants”, stated Roland Fischer, Head of Sales and Marketing of Siemens Water Technologies for Europe. “With the technologies, utilities can treat more water achieving better effluent quality and less footprint and energy consumption.” Both technologies will be applied in several projects in Europe, especially in Italy. more |
Apr 02, 2008 | Siemens to Start Up the First Cannibal Solids Reduction System in Europe, at the Levico Terme Wastewater Treatment Plant in ItalyThe first Cannibal solids reduction system in Europe is scheduled to start up in April 2008 at the Levico Terme Wastewater Treatment Plant in Levico, Italy. The plant, in a city of about 100,000 people, wanted to significantly reduce its solids production by at least 50 percent, from 740 ton/year to 370 ton/year. Besides reducing the costs of hauling biosolids to a disposal facility, the Cannibal system can reduce the plant’s power and labor costs from aerobic digestion and dewatering systems. more |
Apr 02, 2008 | Siemens Receives Contract Worth 60 million Euros for a Water Transmission System in Saudi ArabiaSiemens Industry has been awarded a contract to provide the equipment for a long-distance pipeline which is to supply water to settlement areas in Saudi Arabia. Eight pumping stations will transport water over more than 900 kilometers of pipelines at a rate of 400,000 cubic meters per day. With the new 'Shuqaiq Water Transmission System', households in inhabited areas which are mainly in the northern and eastern parts of the country will be supplied with potable water from the Shuqaiq desalination plant on the south-west coast. The contract has a volume of 60 million euros and the pipeline system will start operating at the beginning of 2010. more |
Mar 26, 2008 | Siemens Water Technologies To Supply System For Treating Flue Gas Desulfurization Scrubber Wastewater At Three Mirant Power PlantsThe Shaw Group, Inc., has selected Siemens Water Technologies to provide a system to treat wastewater from Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers being constructed at Mirant Mid-Atlantic, LLC’s Dickerson and Morgantown Power Plants and Mirant Chalk Point, LLC’s Chalk Point Power Plant. The system will remove suspended solids, heavy metals and organics from the scrubber waste stream so that the water can be safely discharged. Located in Maryland, U.S., the wastewater projects are scheduled to begin operation in 2010. more |
Mar 07, 2008 | First Use of a Membrane Bioreactor with Reverse Osmosis in the Pulp and Paper Industry anywhere in the World – Siemens Solution Reduces Volume of Wastewater at German Board Producer by 90 Per CentThe Siemens Industry Solutions Division (IS) has received an order from Albert Köhler GmbH & Co. KG in Gengenbach, Germany, to install a membrane bioreactor plant with downstream reverse osmosis for wastewater treatment. This means the German board producer will be the first company in the world to have such a capability at its disposal. The system will enable almost all the process water to be reused and will reduce the volume of wastewater by some 90 per cent. Not only that: the Siemens solution will reduce the need for process steam and thus cut energy costs. The new wastewater treatment plant is due to be commissioned as soon as the spring of 2008. more |
Mar 04, 2008 | Siemens’ MBR Plant to Help Keep Italian Coastline PristineSiemens Water Technologies will supply Mediterranea delle Acque’s new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino, Italy with pretreatment to a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system. Housed partially underground, the plant will benefit the coastal villages’ fishing and tourism industries by producing high-quality effluent that can be used for a variety of reuse purposes. Once it comes online in 2009, the 3 million Euros system will be Siemens’ largest MBR installation in Europe. more |
