| 06/25/2008 | | | Siemens Sludge Disintegration System Agreement Broadens Company’s Biogas Production and Storage Portfolio |
| Siemens 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.

| Three 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.

| The 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.
