| The new steel field-erected Orbal multichannel oxidation ditch from Siemens Water Technologies has proven advantages over form-built, concrete-type treatment systems. An Orbal field-erected plant has a shorter concept-to-completion timeline, significantly lower capital costs, and a more flexible design with a smaller footprint. The multi-channel oxidation ditch also provides reduced operational costs throughout the system's life cycle. It is well-suited for conventional activated sludge, advanced secondary treatment, simultaneous nitrification-denitrification, biological phosphorous removal and stormwater treatment.

| 08/01/2006 | | | USFilter Integrated Into Siemens Water Technologies |
| The process of integrating USFilter into the Water Technologies division of the Siemens Group Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) has been completed and USFilter is now officially known in the marketplace as Siemens Water Technologies. The change reflects the complete integration of USFilter into the Siemens organization - completing a transition period that began when Siemens purchased USFilter just over two years ago. The new I&S division Water Technologies, headquartered in Warrendale/Pennsylvania, is the world's leading supplier of water treatment and purification systems for drinking water, wastewater and process water with a broad portfolio of products and services that is unique among the competition. The company has a strong position and growth record in North America, and is moving aggressively into Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America.

| 05/09/2006 | | | Siemens: Water as a raw material is a location factor in Europe: Water reclamation and water cycle management strengthen competitive edge |
| The cost and availability of water will come to affect European economies much as the dependency on oil and gas imports does today. "Water will become a growing cost factor that will influence the competitiveness of trade and industry and burden households even more than it does today", forecasts Roger Radke of the Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) Group, and responsible for Siemens' global water business. Indeed Europe boasts adequate renewable fresh water resources in the region of 3500 cubic kilometers, but availability and quality differ considerably from region to region. Increased water processing in southern and eastern Europe and water cycle management in industry in northern and western Europe offer solutions that can meet the growing needs and requirements of the water quality, reduce costs, and thus strengthen the competitiveness of the regions in Europe. "With takeover and integration of treatment technologies for potable water, process water and waste water of the American USFilter Corporation, Siemens now commands a wide range of products and process expertise in Europe", says Radke, to offer solutions for all steps in the water treatment cycle in both the municipal and industrial sector.
