		At voestalpine Stahl GmbH in Linz, Austria Siemens VAI Metals Technologies has replaced the existing coiler 3 on the hot strip mill with a completely new coiler system. Conversion and commissioning were done together with a consortium partner. With the aid of the new high-performance coiler system, voestalpine will be able to expand its hot strip product range. The hot strip mill resumed operation on schedule in August. More
10/23/2009	\|	Siemens brings world’s first 4000 ampere vacuum circuit breaker for frequent-operation applications without forced cooling onto the market
		Siemens is meeting the steel industry’s growing demand for every higher performance levels in melting down scrap metal by launching a refined medium-voltage circuit-breaker. As of September 2009, the company offers 3AH4 vacuum circuit-breakers with an operating current of 4000 amperes (A) for the 36-kilovolt voltage level. It is the first vacuum circuit-breaker worldwide for frequent-operation applications up to 120,000 switching cycles capable of handling such a high operating current without forced cooling. The short-circuit breaking current is 40 kiloamperes (kA) at a voltage of up to 40.5 kilovolts (kV). Siemens has developed these circuit-breakers above all for special applications in the steel industry, such as for switching operations on electric arc furnaces. More
10/20/2009	\|	Sinopec selects Siemens wet air oxidation technology for wastewater treatment at two new ethylene facilities
		Siemens Water Technologies will provide Zimpro wet air oxidation technology to treat wastewater at Sinopec’s Zhenhai and Tianjin ethylene plant projects in the Zhenhai District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and in Tianjin, China. The systems will be used to treat sulfidic spent caustic wastewater streams generated in the production of ethylene. The energy-efficient wet air oxidation systems will destroy odorous sulfide pollutants and generate a biodegradable effluent that can be discharged to conventional biological wastewater treatment. The Zhenhai system will treat approximately 18.2 m3/hr of wastewater; the Tianjin system will treat 14.5 m3/hr. More
10/19/2009	\|	First Order from Russia: Siemens to supply Siroll Electrostatic Oiler to Alcoa Samara
		Siemens VAI Metals Technologies has received an order to supply a Siroll Electrostatic Oiler for a slitting line at the Alcoa Samara (Alcoa SMZ) plant in Russia. This is the first Siroll Electrostatic Oiler sold into Russia by Siemens VAI. More
10/16/2009	\|	Jiangsu Shagang expands production capacity with two Siemens rod outlets
		The Jiangsu Shagang Group Company has awarded contracts to Siemens VAI Metals Technologies for two new rod outlets to increase capacity and improve product quality at its Zhangjiagang mill. The value of the order is more than 10 million euro. Delivery is mid-2010 for the first rod outlet, and third quarter 2010 for the second. More
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. More
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. More
10/12/2009	\|	Siemens to provide waste-to-energy wastewater treatment system for Pearl Valley Cheese
		Siemens has been awarded the contract to provide process equipment, design and start-up services for a wastewater treatment system at the Pearl Valley Cheese, Inc. production facility in Fresno, Ohio. The system will be designed to convert waste material generated during cheese production into a reusable biogas generated in the wastewater treatment process. This renewable energy approach allows Pearl Valley Cheese to receive a state funding grant, and reduces the amount of natural gas required to operate the facility’s boilers, which are used for providing steam for the cooking, cleaning and pasteurizing processes. The 50,000-gallon-per-day (GPD) (189,000 LPD) system, which will be able to handle a variety of waste streams and still meet effluent requirements, is scheduled for start up in the summer of 2010.
