Envirogen to supply FBR system for perchlorate remediation
MARKET PROSPECTS The complete wastewater treatment solution will include a powdered activated carbon treatment (PACT) system, a Zimpro wet air regeneration (WAR) hydrothermal unit, and a Hydro-Clear sand filtration system. The three-tier system will be used to treat salty and oily wastewater from refining and petrochemical production activities from existing and upgraded units. The system will become operational in 2012. The 1000 m3/h Anqing system will help Sinopec discharge a cleaner effluent and also generate approximately 500 m3/h of reusable water. The refinery will reuse the water in its cooling tower system. To treat the refinery’s wastewater, Siemens will install a PACT system, which combines biological treatment and carbon adsorption into a single, synergistic treatment step to remove organics. The solids are pumped as slurry to the Zimpro WAR unit where the carbon is regenerated and biological solids are destroyed. As it will generate virtually no sludge that requires landfill disposal or incineration, the WAR system will help to lower operating costs for the Anqing refinery’s wastewater treatment. The Hydro-Clear filter system makes it possible to filter large volumes of water and return it to the cooling circuit, resulting in large savings in the amount of fresh water required and thus further reducing costs.
Black & Veatch to upgrade two Thames Water treatment facilities
B
lack & Veatch has been appointed principal contractor for a programme of works that will enhance and expand sludge treatment operations at Thames Water’s Basingstoke and Bracknell Sewage Treatment Works in the UK. The major upgrades will convert liquid treated waste into a sludge cake. As principal contractor, Black & Veatch will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of the upgraded works. The upgrades at each site include sludge belt presses, sludge cake conveyors, a polymer dosing system, a 2000 m2 sludge storage building, a sludge storage tank, pumps and pipework, and return liquors tank, pumps and pipework. These upgrades are part of

Thames Water’s £5 billion programme of essential works to improve water pipes, sewers and other facilities across London and the Thames Valley between 2010 and 2015.
Envirogen to supply FBR system for perchlorate remediation
A
merican Pacific Corp (AMPAC) has selected Envirogen Technologies Inc to provide a largescale fluidised bed bioreactor (FBR) system for the biodegradation of perchlorate and other constituents from groundwater near a former manufacturing facility in Henderson, Nevada, USA. The 1.2 million gallons per day capacity system will replace a smaller biological-based system in operation since 2006. The new treatment system, which will consist of three FBRs and an H-120 biofilter for odour control, is currently still in the design phase and is scheduled for start-up in December 2011.
AECOM wins Jeddah flood control contact
A
ECOM Technology Corp is to undertake a US$171 million consultancy, engineering and construction services contract for a citywide storm water, flood control, and wastewater infrastructure improvement program in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Under the contract, AECOM will offer all consultancy services for the management of the program, from the preliminary engineering works to the supervision of the emergency and long-term solutions against natural disasters, especially flooding. The flood control improvements are scheduled for completion in 2013.

P Veolia Water to build oilfield water reclamation plant
V
eolia Water has signed a contract to build a produced water reclamation facility in California USA. Veolia Water will design, build, and operate the 45 000 barrels per day (bpd) facility under a 12-year performance agreement with Plains Exploration & Production Co. Veolia Water has also agreed to provide operations and maintenance services and performance guarantees on a fixed-fee basis. The plant is located at the Arroyo Grande Oilfield in San Luis Obispo County. The treated water will provide 25 000 bpd for use as once through steam generation (OTSG) make-up and 20 000 bpd for surface water discharge, dewatering the Arroyo Grande reservoir. The treatment process produces treated water that meets or exceeds state and federal permit requirements, and the dewatering of the reservoir will result in a reduction of formation pressure enabling increased crude oil production at the site.
etroVietnam Technical Services Corp (PTSC) has selected Black & Veatch to provide project management and design services for the Long Phu 1 Power Plant in Vietnam’s Soc Trang province. PTSC is the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the project and is a member of the Vietnam Oil & Gas Group (PetroVietnam), the project owner. PetroVietnam Power, also a member of PetroVietnam, will operate the plant and deliver electricity to the Vietnam grid system.
