Wastewater Treatment – Effluent Reduction
Wastewater effluent reduction is beneficial for industrial customers because of the minimizing effect that it has on discharge permits, reduction of raw water makeup costs.  In addition efficient municipal processes for the reduction of wastewater effluent can have economic benefits.

Industries reclaim treated wastewater for cooling, boiler feed, rinsing, and other uses. Municipalities reuse treated wastewater for irrigation, in-plant processes, and groundwater recharge. In these cases, effluent reduction pays financial and environmental dividends. In other cases, innovative system designers are using treated municipal effluent for industrial purposes.

Siemens has a long history of providing technologies and services that enable water managers to effectively practice reuse and reduce the discharge of effluents to the environment:

  •  Membranes

Case Study:  PSEG Power Leads the Way in Water Reclamation

In March 2002, a statewide drought prompted the NJDEP commissioner to announce mandatory water use restrictions.  This meant that all New Jersey companies using more than 100,000 gallons of water per day had to submit a water conservation contingency plan to the NJDEP.

PSEG Power of Newark, N.J. responded by forming a drought emergency response team that developed water conservation plans for each of its generating plants.  They wanted to increase the water reuse capacity of the Bergen Station plant and also design a system that would treat reclaimed water and make it pure enough to feed the station's boilers.
