Feb 15, 2008 | Siemens Water Technologies Equipment Selected for the Aurora, Colorado, USA Prairie Waters ProjectSiemens Water Technologies has received a 1.95 million euros ($2.9M) award to supply equipment for the new 189-MLD (50-MGD) Aurora Reservoir Water Treatment Plant, which is part of the Prairie Waters Project for the City of Aurora, Colorado, USA. Water from the South Platte River will be piped 54 km (34 miles) to the water purification plant, where it will undergo softening, filtration, ultraviolet light oxidation and activated carbon adsorption before being distributed. The softening equipment supplied by Siemens includes four 47-MLD (12.5-MGD) Contrafast high rate sludge thickening clarifiers for installation in concrete basins. Siemens will also supply 70 ESSD stainless steel washtroughs for placement in media filters and activated carbon adsorption cells. The project will provide a sustainable supply of high quality water to meet the City’s demands into the 2020’s. Both of the City’s existing water treatment plants received the Phase 3, Director Award from the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Partnership for Safe Water, and the new plant is designed to continue to meet this commitment to water quality. The first phase of the new plant is scheduled for startup in 2010. more |
Feb 06, 2008 | Turkish Wastewater Treatment Plant Increases Capacity and Lowers Costs with Siemens’ BioFlowsheet+ Solutions ProgramSiemens has received a 5.5 million euros ($8M) award to provide a wastewater treatment system and associated piping, instrumentation and engineering to the Inegol Industrial Zone in Inegol, Turkey. The system will increase the capacity of Inegol’s wastewater treatment plant, while lowering costs. Siemens Water Technologies will provide a BioFlowsheet+ Solution, consisting of a VertiCel aeration system, Flocculating Energy Dissipating Well Arrangement (FEDWA) clarifiers with the Tow-Bro Unitube sludge removal header and the Cannibal solids reduction system. Siemens will also provide the necessary piping and instrumentation for the system in addition to all the electrical and automation systems for the entire plant. The system is scheduled to be commissioned in mid-2009. more |
