• Porvair has signed a supply agreement with Parker Hannifin Corp, which is expected to be worth US$3 million over seven years. Porvair will supply the aerospace filtration systems for Parker Hannifin’s onboard aircraft fuel tank inerting system, which will be fitted to new Airbus passenger jets. Porvair should start supplying the filtration systems to Parker Hannifin in 2008. This is in addition to the previously announced agreement with Parker Hanifin for similar systems for Boeing production aircraft. “We have been working closely with Parker to develop the filtration system for onboard fuel tank inerting systems used on Boeing production aircraft, and we are delighted to have now won contracts to supply Parker for both Boeing and Airbus programs. This new contract continues our strategy of developing technologies for new applications and further strengthens our aerospace business,” said Porvair chief executive officer (CEO) Ben Stocks. • Larox has received two major orders for filtration equipment with ancillaries from mining and engineering companies in Australia and Chile. The 9.2 million deliveries will take place later this year. Oxiana Ltd, the owner of the Prominent Hill copper-gold project in South Australia, has ordered a large size Larox PF automatic pressure filter for copper concentrate filtration. Construction of the new mine has already started with production expected to begin in the second half of 2008. SNC-Lavalin Chile SA has ordered several units of different filter types and a large package of ancillaries for the Cobre Las Cruces SA’s greenfield copper project in
Spain. The Larox delivery scope includes a large size Larox PF filter, Pannevis RB horizontal belt filters and Scheibler polishing filters for various applications in the leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning process. Cobre Las Cruces SA, which is 70% owned by Inmet Mining Corp and 30% by Leucadia National Corp, is scheduled to begin production in early 2008. • Enviroquip, a division of Eimco Water Technologies, was the preferred supplier for the membrane bioreactor (MBR) system used in the Oregon Health and Science University’s River Campus One building that is expected to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum status. If the project achieves this rating, it will be the largest LEED Platinum certified building in the USA. Among many energy and water conservation programs, the OHSU River Campus One building recycles 100% of the wastewater generated. More than 100 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the US use this Enviroquip/Kubota MBR System. • Eimco Water Technologies Pty Ltd, formally Copa Water, is to provide a water reuse system to Kogarah Council in New South Wales, Australia. A 750 000 l/day Copa ReAqua HyRate system will be installed at the Beverley Park Golf Course in Sydney. Sewage is mined from the sewer and treated for reuse to irrigate the course, local parks and playing fields. The four-stage Copa ReAqua system will eliminate the potable water consumption that Kogarah Council uses to irrigate these areas and allow the Golf Course to comply with more stringent water restrictions.
Eimco Water Technologies will provide a full service package, with design, supply, project management, commissioning and supervision. The delivery and commissioning is scheduled for October 2007, just before the summer season. • Hydranautics is to provide 9100 ESPA2+ elements for a 39 million gallon per day (MGD) secondary effluent wastewater plant in Singapore. Ulu Pandan is the fourth and largest NEWater project by the PUB (Public Utilities Board) that is designed to purify and reuse wastewater for industrial water applications. Hydranautics’ elements have previously been selected for three of the four existing NEWater plants. The PUB’s NEWater initiatives were established to help the country become more selfsufficient. Ulu Pandan was awarded to Keppel Seghers Engineering Singapore Pte Ltd, which secured a 20-year design-build-own-operate contract for the water recycling plant. Keppel Seghers in turn selected Hydranautics’ ESPA2+ membrane elements for the reverse osmosis membrane treatment process. • GE is supplying its ecomagination-certified solar energy modules and water filtration technology to a new initiative, launched by Dynoil LLC, to increase the availability of clean drinking water in rural areas of India and in other developing countries of Southeast Asia and Africa. The use of solar energy technology to power water filtration systems will enable Dynoil, a privately held petroleum and biofuels developer based in Newport Beach, California, to install equipment in remote areas that lack direct access to transmission grids. As
part of the US$93 million agreement, GE is providing Dynoil with 200W solar modules and 5000 water filtration units that are capable of providing enough water to meet the daily requirements for 500 people. By using GE’s solar energy and water filtration technologies, Dynoil will be able to reach many remote and rural areas throughout India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Malaysia and Africa. “By 2020, much of the world is expected to confront severe water shortages and countries, like India, will face a lack of water coupled with unprecedented infrastructure issues, shifts in population, and rapid industrial growth rates,” explained Jeff Garwood, president and chief executive officer of GE Water & Process Technologies. GE’s solar modules are being built at GE Energy’s solar energy facility in Newark, Delaware, while GE’s Homespring water filtration system units are manufactured at GE Water & Process Technologies’ facilities in Canada and Hungary. The solar-powered water filtration systems will be packaged by Trunz Water Systems, an ISO 9000-certified company in Arbon, Switzerland. Shipment is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2007, while project installation is scheduled over the next 2 years. • Alfa Laval has received a SKr50 million order for environmental equipment from the City of Toronto for the Humber Waste Water Treatment Plant. Delivery includes decanter centrifuges and auxiliary equipment for treatment of waste water sludge. The equipment is part of an upgrade of the plant’s sludge thickening facilities. Delivery will take place during 2008.
