| 09/22/2008 | | | Siemens to Provide Wastewater Treatment Solution to help Chinese City Restore Water Quality in Taihu Lake |
| The 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.

| 09/10/2008 | | | Siemens to Provide Process Control and Automation System for the Lodz Wastewater Treatment Plant in Poland |
| Siemens 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.

| 08/15/2008 | | | Siemens to Provide IPS Composting System Agitators for Burlington County, New Jersey Composting Plant |
| Siemens 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.

| 07/30/2008 | | | Siemens Water Technologies to Provide Clarification Technology for Metro Wastewater Reclamation District in Denver |
| Siemens 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.
