Filtration+Separation July/August 2015
Bonaire selects GE’s Procera technology for desalination plant expansion GE is supplying its Procera water filtration equipment package for a seawater desalination plant expansion project in Hato on the Caribbean island of Bonaire. The project is an expansion of Water and Energy Company Bonaire’s (WEB) current desalination plant, which GE operates for the island’s water and electric utility under a build, own, operate contract. The expanded plant will supply 1600 m3/day of desalinated water. GE will provide a Procera seawater solution, including six multimedia filters, two SeaPRO-84 seawater reverse osmosis (RO) units, two modified PRO-150-NA brackish
water RO units together with an MCC and PLC Control System. “Our goal is to become self-sufficient with drinking water production and to support the growing needs of residential and business customers on the island,” said Alfredo Koolman, CEO of WEB Bonaire. “We selected GE because of its desalination technology expertise and its familiarity with our existing operation. This project moves us closer to eventually having the capability of owning and operating our own desalination facility.” The expanded desalination facility is expected to be commissioned in August 2015. www.ge.com
Envirogen moves into North American food and beverage market Envirogen Technologies Inc is to start providing water treatment and management solutions for food and beverage processors in North America. Currently a supplier of ‘end-to-end’ water solutions to the European food and beverage industries, Envirogen will now employ its technology portfolio and operations management expertise in North America to deliver programs for incoming water treatment, process water conditioning, process filtration, water recycle and re-use and wastewater treatment. Envirogen will help North American food and beverage processors prepare water from municipal or impacted groundwater sources, enhance facility throughput, and reduce water footprint at the lowest lifecycle cost. The company already operates in the US, treating and managing impacted groundwater using biological, physical chemical and
adsorptive technologies – with over 80 installations country-wide. Todd Webster, Envirogen’s West Regional vice president, says that the company’s offering to food and beverage processors is particularly timely considering the industry drive for reduced water footprint and the extreme drought conditions in California and the US Southwest. “At Envirogen, we have the ability to help companies utilise alternative source water and to make their existing water sources work harder – and with better quality. Within the processing facility, there are a number of opportunities to reduce overall water usage, to make more efficient usage of expensive water sources, as well as investigate water reuse approaches,” Webster said. “We have done this for companies worldwide, and we’re ready to implement tailored solutions to meet new and emergency water requirements in the United States right away.” www.envirogen.com

SEK48 million. They were booked in the second quarter of 2015 and delivery of the systems will be completed in the third quarter of 2016.
The Nederman solutions include pulse jet self-cleaning cartridge filter systems and 2-stage static filter systems with silencers. Both systems will reduce ambient outdoor dust to a level sufficient to protect the turbine compressor and internal components. Together these orders are worth
Nederman has also received a SEK27 million order for air filtration systems in the metal recycling industry. The Nederman delivery will include two multi-module dust collection systems with associated ancillary equipment and controls. www.nederman.com
Canadian cleantech company BluMetric Environmental Inc has signed a technology, business and project development agreement with Switzerland’s Aquarion AG. Ottawa-headquartered BluMetric is an engineered solutions and professional services company serving the mining, food and beverage, and municipal sectors, while Aquarion offers advanced treatment solutions for the oil and gas, food and beverage, energy, and micro-electronics industries from operating units in Germany, Italy, the UK, and Southeast Asia. “This agreement with Aquarion and their subsidiary companies furthers BluMetric’s strategy of selective partnering to expand and enhance our technologies, the sectors and regions we service, and ultimately
the quality of that service to our clients,” said Roger Woeller, CEO of BluMetric. “Our chosen area of endeavour is played in an international arena, and working with Aquarion dramatically extends our reach. This partnership will strengthen not only our ability to compete but both our bottom lines.” “These two companies have complementary technologies, similar cultures, and few regional overlaps,” said Karl Michael Millauer, CEO of Aquarion AG. “With Aquarion’s strength in oil and gas and energy coupled with BluMetric’s depth in mining, real estate, military, and industrial solutions, the potential for growth is substantial.” www.aquarion-group.com www.blumetric.ca www.filtsep.com
