Calgon Carbon to supply UV system to treat Boston drinking water The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) has selected Calgon Carbon Corp to provide an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system for the John Carroll Water Treatment Plant in Marlboro, Massachusetts, USA.
Boston has a new drinking water disinfecting system.
Twelve Sentinel Chevron 48 reactors will treat up to 450 million gallons of drinking water per day. The reactors are scheduled to be delivered in June 2012. Earlier this year, Calgon Carbon won a contract to supply 12 similar reactors to treat San Francisco’s drinking water. www.calgoncarbon.com
Veolia Water wins Petrobras water treatment contract in Brazil Under a joint venture with Brazilian water treatment engineering company Enfil, Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies will supply a water treatment and reuse station at Abreu e Lima refinery, in Ipojuca, Brazil for the Brazilian oil company Petrobras. The contract is worth €119 million to Veolia Water. The Abreu e Lima refinery water treatment and reuse station will be able to provide 2100 m3 of filtered water per hour and 580 m3 of recycling water per hour for industrial use.

Dow to open Middle East R&D facility in Saudi Arabia The recently-inaugurated King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and The Dow Chemical Co are to set up the Dow Middle East R&D Center at the University’s Research Park and Innovation Cluster in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia.
Initial research at the Dow Middle East R&D Center at KAUST will focus on water and water treatment technologies, eventually expanding its scope to oil and gas, process R&D, and infrastructure materials. All of these activities are aligned with existing KAUST Research Centers.
Dow, a founding member of the University’s Industrial Collaboration Program (KICP), plans an initial annual minimum funding commitment of US$1 million to support multi-year R&D sponsored projects and initiatives. The R&D facility will also support a number
of programs and initiatives, including funding thesis research and semi-annual technology research challenges, as well as the Dow Talent Program to develop and train Saudi talent. www.dowwatersolutions.com www.kaust.edu.sa
