| Siemens 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.

| 10/24/2006 | | | Flexible Field-Erected Orbal Process Treatment Systems Reduce WWTP Costs |
| 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.

| 10/24/2006 | | | Siemens Water Technologies Modernizes West Coast WWTP with Cannibal Process |
| Albany, Ore., will expand and modernize its wastewater treatment plant using Siemens technologies. As part of the upgrade, the plant, designed by CH2M of Corvallis, OR, will incorporate an integrated biological process that combines the Cannibal biosolids reduction process with a VLR (vertical loop reactor) system and Tow-Bro clarifier for high-quality effluent and minimum sludge production. This advanced technology system from Water Technologies, a division of the Siemens Group Industrial solutions and Services (I&S) will also help the Albany plant produce clean water at the lowest possible energy and solids disposal cost. The plant will expand its capacity from 20 mgd to 68 mgd during wet weather flows.
