GE collaborates on project to recycle rainwater
T
he University of California, Davis (UC Davis), GE Water & Process Technologies and wine industry solutions provider Winesecrets have joined forces to pilot a project which
uses captured rainwater in wine production. Reusing rainwater, rather than pulling freshwater from the aquifer, the pilot project offers an original way to supply the wash water in winemaking. GE’s Water & Process Technologies provided a reverse osmosis (RO) system and a Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzer to the winery at UC Davis as a way to use existing technologies with advanced digital capabilities for a new application. The pilot enables the winery at UC Davis to have more control over its source water by not having to rely on the aquifer with its varying water quality and availability. The rainwater is collected from the roof of the Jess S Jackson Sustainable Winery Building and other campus buildings. It then goes through the treatment system so that it can be used to clean the tanks and equipment at the winery. About 7000 gallons of water per day are treated for use in the winery. The rainwater capturing system transports the rainwater through downspouts to a holding tank with a capacity of 1200 gallons. After going through a 50-micron media filter, it is pumped into two 45 000-gallon storage tanks that feed the water treatment system.

Veolia to provide water treatment systems for Magnox UK sites
V
eolia Nuclear Solutions, through its subsidiary Kurion Inc, will deploy effluent treatment systems at four Magnox sites in the UK. Under a new contract with Magnox Ltd, Veolia Nuclear Solutions will design, build and install the new systems at four sites, enabling the removal of contaminated waste from the sites’ active effluent water treatment, ponds water filtration, and cesium removal plants. Veolia Nuclear Solutions will provide Modular Active Effluent Treatment Plants (MAETPs), similar to those used to assist in the response at Fukushima Daiichi, at the Chapelcross, Hinkley Point A, Oldbury and Dungeness A sites. The technologies to be deployed will use multiple water treatment technologies
