    10/30/2009|Siemens to equip Jeddah sewage treatment plant with one of largest odor control systems in Saudi Arabia
    Siemens Water Technologies will supply a nine-piece odor control system at the 250,000 m3/d North Jeddah Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As the STP is located next to the King Abdullah Aziz Airport in Jeddah, the Ministry of Water and Electricity requested that odor control equipment be installed. Valued at more than US$2 million, the system will consist of three different technologies located at five areas throughout the plant. Once completed by year’s end, this will be one of the largest odor control installations in all of Saudi Arabia.

    10/12/2009|Siemens offers waste water treatment plants proven energy and operational cost-saving solutions with ESCO performance contracts
    Siemens announces ESCO (energy service company) performance contracts are now available to municipal wastewater treatment customers in North America. An ESCO performance-based contract allows for an alternative funding method for a capital improvement in the wastewater plant that reduces energy use, operation costs, and labor. This is paid for from the guaranteed savings generated from implementing process improvements for the facility.

    10/12/2009|Reduce waste, reduce energy: Technology advancements highlight the benefits of biosolids management
    Costs associated with treatment and disposal of biosolids can be half of a communities’ operations budget. As cash-strapped cities are looking for ways to reduce costs, water technology providers such as Siemens are providing answers to reduce the cost of biosolids management, while providing a sometimes unexpected boost to the bottom line. Moreover, communities are finding that in addition to reduced operations costs, they have less waste and use less energy—a big benefit for the environment.

    10/12/2009|Siemens develops a comprehensive odor control solution for wastewater collection and treatment plants
    Siemens Water Technologies announces the Full Service Odor Control Program approach to helping wastewater collection and treatment facilities control odors at the lowest lifecycle cost. With a wide range of odor control technologies for the liquid and the vapor phase, Siemens can provide a single product or combination of equipment and treatment methods as well as customized service contracts that ensure long equipment life. Rather than take a “one size fits all” approach, Siemens treats every customer site and application as unique, making treatment recommendations based on data collected at the site. The final treatment solution may include one or more odor control products to achieve the best results in the most cost effective way.

    09/25/2009|Siemens to provide a BNR system for improving effluent quality at one of the largest municipal wastewater treatment plants in China
    Siemens Water Technologies & Engineering (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (SWTE) signed a 42 million Renminbi (approx. 4.2 million Euro) contract with Tianjin Capital Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd. in China (TCEPC) to provide a Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) system for upgrading and retrofitting the facilities of Tianjin Xianyang Road Wastewater Treatment Plant (Xianyang Road WWTP) in Tianjin, China. The BNR system will be designed to treat 450,000 m3 per day and to significantly improve the effluent discharge standard of Xianyang Road WWTP from the national standard of Class II to Class I. The project is scheduled for start up in April 2010.

    06/22/2009|Energy efficient treatment process helps municipalities meet new Class 1A wastewater standards in China
    The VertiCel Process, an advanced biological nutrient removal technology from Siemens Water Technologies, has seen increased recognition in the Chinese municipal wastewater market. North China Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute (NCMEDRI) and Tianjin Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute (TMEDI) have recently accepted the process technology and selected it for their respective municipal wastewater treatment plant up-grade projects. The energy-efficient wastewater process not only meets stringent effluent requirements of China’s new Class 1A standards for nitrogen and phosphorus removal, but is engineered to save space and energy.

    04/23/2009|Siemens to provide system for treating flue gas desulfurization scrubber wastewater at an Eastern U.S. Power Plant
    One of the largest power producers in the U.S. has selected Siemens Water Technologies to provide a system to treat wastewater from a Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) scrubber being constructed at an eastern power plant in the U.S. The installation of the wet scrubber will significantly reduce emissions of mercury and sulphur dioxide. The wastewater treatment system will remove suspended solids and heavy metals from the scrubber waste stream so the water can be safely discharged. Siemens’ scope of supply on the new physical/ chemical wastewater treatment system for this project includes system design, equipment supply, project management, system start-up, staff training, and system commissioning. When completed in 2012, the system will be Siemens’ 14th FGD scrubber wastewater treatment system installed at a U.S. power plant.

    03/16/2009|Siemens to Provide System for Treating Flue Gas Desulfurization Scrubber Wastewater at the PSNH Merrimack Generating Station
    Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) has selected Siemens Water Technologies to provide a system to treat wastewater from a Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) scrubber being constructed at the Merrimack Generating Station in Bow, New Hampshire, U.S.A. The installation of the wet scrubber is required by state law and will significantly reduce PSNH emissions of mercury and sulphur dioxide. The wastewater treatment system will de-saturate the wastewater and remove suspended solids and metals, including mercury, from the scrubber waste stream so the water can be safely discharged. Designed for a maximum flow rate of 50 gallons per minute (11.36 m3/h), the system is scheduled to be completed in 2011.

    10/20/2008|Siemens: Continued High Investment Potential in Water Business
    Siemens continues to see favorable prospects in its water business despite the current economic downturn. “Urbanization and water shortage are long-term trends which will determine the need for water treatment and recycling solutions”, explained Jens Wegmann who, as CEO of the Industrial Solutions Division, is responsible for the water business at Siemens. “We are sticking to our view,” said Wegmann in Chicago on Monday at Weftec, the biggest water fair in North America, “that the markets for water treatment will continue to grow worldwide.” Thanks to its wide-ranging business portfolio and its global corporate access to customers, Siemens Water Technologies is well equipped to compensate for any investment delays at municipal level in individual countries as a result of its industrial and modernization business.
