WATER & WASTEWATER VEOLIA WATER WINS ARMENIAN MANAGEMENT CONTRACT Veolia Water has been awarded the contract to manage water services for the city of Yerevan in Armenia. The ten-year contract, which was awarded following an international competitive bidding process overseen by the World Bank, is set to generate total revenue of 160 million over the period. Under the agreement, Veolia Water will manage all water production and distribution, wastewater collection, as well as customer services. Veolia Water’s efforts will prioritize reducing network leakage and connecting the entire population to the network in a bid to enhance efficiency and quality of service.
NEW EPA RULES FOR US DRINKING WATER EPA has finalized two related drinking water protection rules: one that reduces the risk of disease-causing microorganisms from entering water supplies and the other that requires water systems to limit the amount of potentially harmful “disinfection byproducts” (DBPs) that end up in the drinking water. These rules were proposed in August 2003, and were developed from consensus recommendations from a federal advisory committee comprised of state and local governments, tribes, environmental, public health and water industry groups. The “Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water
Treatment Rule” (LT2), increases monitoring and treatment requirements for water systems that are prone to outbreaks of Cryptosporidium, a waterborne pathogen. The rule requires that public water systems that are supplied by surface water sources monitor for Cryptosporidium. Those water systems that measure higher levels of Cryptosporidium or do not filter their water must provide additional protection by using options from a “microbial toolbox” of treatment and management processes, such as ultraviolet disinfection, and watershed control programs. The “Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Rule” (Stage 2 DBP), was developed to balance the benefits and risks posed by drinking water disinfection. While disinfection is commonly known as one of the major public health advances of the 20th century, it also creates harmful byproducts that are formed when disinfectants, such as chlorine, combine with naturally occurring materials in water. Under this rule, water systems are required to find monitoring sites where higher levels of DBPs are likely to occur and use these new locations for compliance monitoring. If DBPs are found to exceed drinking water standards at any of these new monitoring locations, water systems must begin to take corrective action.
ARCADIS TO DESIGN US TREATMENT PLANT Arcadis has been selected to provide engineering design services for the new 18 million gallons per day (MGD) Western Wake Regional Water Reclamation Facility in western Wake County, North Carolina. Arcadis will design and build a regional wastewater
treatment facility to provide the necessary capacity and comply with the terms of the Interbasin Transfer agreement. The design award is worth US$9 million in fees. The design is scheduled to be completed in 16 months and the plant will go online in 2010. Arcadis is responsible for designing a state-of-theart facility including biological nutrient removal, disinfection, bio-solids treatment, administration and maintenance facilities, related site improvements, and all ancillary and support facilities. The plant design is for 18 MGD and is expandable to 30 MGD.
PULP & PAPER ANDRITZ HIGH ENERGY RECOVERY BOILER FOR SCA SCA has selected Andritz to supply a new recovery boiler to SCA Packaging Obbola AB in Sweden in a 60 million contract. SCA has stated that its long-term strategy is to reduce energy costs and to improve the self sufficiency of energy supply. As a consequence SCA decided to purchase the highefficiency recovery boiler from Andritz. The technology concept and features of the recovery boiler to be delivered by Andritz will meet SCA’s targets to further reduce emissions and to maximize electricity production. The delivery will be on an EPC basis including the recovery boiler main equipment, boiler building, electrostatic precipitators, piping, insulation, instrumentation, electrification, erection and start-up. The recovery boiler, which is scheduled to start-up in October 2007, will be mainly manufactured in Finland.
