    06/09/2008|Siemens Water Technologies to Supply Water Treatment Equipment for City of Galesburg, Illinois
    The City of Galesburg, Illinois has selected Siemens Water Technologies to provide equipment for a new $17.5M water treatment plant to be located near Oquawka, Illinois. Currently, the city obtains its groundwater from an aquifer near Oquawka, which is located along the Mississippi River. The water is chlorinated and then pumped approximately 56 km (30 miles) to an existing treatment facility in Galesburg. Over time, the high level of chlorine has corroded the pipeline, and sections of it must be replaced. The new plant near Oquawka will allow the water to be treated closer to the source before sending it to Galesburg, thus reducing the amount of chlorine required. The 45-MLD (12-MGD) plant is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2010.

    06/09/2008|Chlorination as a Drinking Water Disinfectant: 100 Years and Counting
    This year marks the 100th anniversary of one of the most significant public health advancements of the millennium: the introduction of drinking water chlorination on a large scale. In 1908, the Jersey City, New Jersey Water Works became the first U.S. water system to chlorinate on a permanent basis. The practice spread to other areas of the country, virtually eliminating waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery and hepatitis A. Sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) in the parts-per-million level was added to water to eliminate the micro-organisms that caused the waterborne disease outbreaks. Hypochlorite, however, was not easy to handle, and application at low feed rates was difficult and often unreliable. This problem was solved in 1913 by the Wallace & Tiernan Company with the invention of a chlorine gas feeder they aptly named the chlorinator.

    05/05/2008|The new SFC series: systematic measuring and controlling
    The flexible SFC devices from Siemens Water Technologies constitute a new measuring and controlling series which complements the concept of the multi-functional MFC system. The SFC series is intended for single measurements of water parameters as is necessary in simple applications. One main function is controlled chemical dosing which is used when disinfectant has to be added, for example. The series of devices matches the MFC system not only in terms of design and dimensions but also in terms of the range of functions. The two types of device are based on the same software and can therefore be combined and communicate with each other via a CAN bus.

    02/29/2008|Siemens Water Technologies expands its presence in the Middle East
    With the formation of a new competence center in Abu Dhabi and in Riyadh, Siemens Water Technologies (SWT) is expanding its presence in the Middle East. "The growing need for water in the cities as well as increasing demand in industry, including more stringent environmental requirements for industries such as oil & gas, require new measures for water and wastewater treatment in this region", explained Roland Fischer, who is responsible for SWT business development in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Siemens will consolidate its presence in the region and expand its range of water and waste treatment services and solutions through investments of around 10 million US dollars, expanded employment of around 30 new process and application engineers, and chemists by 2010, and use of local Siemens manufacturing facilities.

    02/15/2008|Siemens Water Technologies Equipment Selected for the Aurora, Colorado, USA Prairie Waters Project
    Siemens Water Technologies has received a 1.95 million euros ($2.9M) award to supply equipment for the new 189-MLD (50-MGD) Aurora Reservoir Water Treatment Plant, which is part of the Prairie Waters Project for the City of Aurora, Colorado, USA. Water from the South Platte River will be piped 54 km (34 miles) to the water purification plant, where it will undergo softening, filtration, ultraviolet light oxidation and activated carbon adsorption before being distributed. The softening equipment supplied by Siemens includes four 47-MLD (12.5-MGD) Contrafast high rate sludge thickening clarifiers for installation in concrete basins. Siemens will also supply 70 ESSD stainless steel washtroughs for placement in media filters and activated carbon adsorption cells. The project will provide a sustainable supply of high quality water to meet the City’s demands into the 2020’s. Both of the City’s existing water treatment plants received the Phase 3, Director Award from the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Partnership for Safe Water, and the new plant is designed to continue to meet this commitment to water quality. The first phase of the new plant is scheduled for startup in 2010.
