Degrémont wins water contracts at BP and Eni refineries
D
egrémont Industry has been awarded a E10.7 million engineering and process equipment procurement contract for the effluent treatment plant at BP’s Rotterdam refinery and a E5 million contract for a wastewater recycling plant at the Eni refinery in Sannazzaro de Burgondi, Italy. To deal with its increased water treatment requirements and in anticipation of regulatory changes, BP has selected Degrémont to equip its Rotterdam refinery with a new treatment plant. Degrémont Industry will provide three primary settling tanks while optimising the thickening of sludge and facilitating its recovery. The treatment line, with a capacity of 550m3/h, will also have three flotation units, three clarifiers and one sludge centrifugation system. The plant is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2014. Using reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, Eni’s Sannazzaro de Burgondi facility will treat a flow of up to 740 m³/h of wastewater, producing demineralised water that will be reused by the refinery. The plant is expected to start operating in early 2013. Degrémont Industry is Degrémont’s new division designed for industry’s needs. It combines the activities of Ondeo IS in Europe as well as all of Degrémont’s industrial activities worldwide.
Industrial Estate. The district is home to a number of industries including shipbuilding, petroleum refining, chemicals, iron and steel production, and machinery manufacturing. MHI will construct a plant where the company will carry out demonstration testing of processes to treat and reclaim wastewater. The plant will also be used to verify the viability of an automated control system. Under the two-year project, MHI will be responsible for the design, manufacture, procurement, installation and operation of the water treatment plant.
Water infrastructure equipment market to exceed US$100bn in 2016
W
orld demand for water infrastructure equipment is expected to increase 6.5% per year to US$101.7 billion in 2016, according to a new study from The Freedonia Group Inc. World Water Infrastructure Equipment says that in developing nations, growth will come from increased access to water supply and sanitation, while in developed nations, ageing water infrastructure will need repair and upgrade. World Water Infrastructure Equipment is available for US$6100 from The Freedonia Group Inc. www.freedoniagroup.com

embcorp (China) Holding Co has entered into a joint venture agreement with Chinese partner Jiangsu Province Lvsi Coastal Economic Zone Development & Construction Co (Lvsi D&C) to build, own and operate an industrial wastewater treatment plant in the Qidong Lvsi Port Economic Development Zone in Jiangsu province.
June 2012
MARKET PROSPECTS Under the agreement, Sembcorp (China) Holding and Lvsi D&C will incorporate a joint venture company in China with a combined investment of RMB80 million (approximately S$16 million). Sembcorp will own a 95% stake in the joint venture company while Lvsi D&C will hold the remaining 5%. The industrial wastewater treatment plant will have a design capacity of 10 000 cubic metres per day and will be capable of treating multiple streams of high concentration industrial wastewater. The plant, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2013, will provide industrial wastewater treatment services to its anchor customer, China National Chemical Engineering Group (CNCEG), under a 15-year contract secured by Sembcorp.
Water leakage reduction in Asia could mean clean water for millions
I
f leaks were plugged and water utility reforms adopted, millions of people in Asia and the Pacific could have access to clean water, according to a new study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). By examining eight of the best-performing water utilities in Asia, Good Practices in Urban Water Management concludes that a low rate of unaccounted for water (UFW) is critical for efficient service delivery. ADB estimates that 29 billion cubic metres of water are lost each year in the region. “While Asia and the Pacific is increasingly facing a major water crisis, we see unacceptable levels of water being lost through leaks and inefficiencies,” said Bindu Lohani, ADB’s vice president for Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development. “By cutting the amount of lost water in half, 150 million people could be supplied with treated water.” The study, conducted by ADB and the Institute of Water Policy, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, looked at urban water management in Bangkok, Thailand; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Jamshedpur, India; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Manila, the Philippines; Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Shenzhen, China; and Singapore.

Severn Trent and Costain in water management JV
W
ater service company Severn Trent Plc has entered into a joint venture with the engineering solutions provider Costain to provide complete business water and wastewater management, from source to disposal, for high volume commercial and industrial water users in England, Wales and Scotland. Severn Trent Costain will offer large multisite water users a single expert supplier for all of their water and waste water requirements allowing customers to focus on their core business. The new joint venture is designed to help customers improve efficiencies, leverage cost savings, manage legal compliance and risk management issues and address water efficiency challenges. Severn Trent Costain will focus on high volume commercial and industrial water users where water is a critical process element. Potential clients will include food and beverage, power generation, automotive, chemical and textile companies.
GE technology treats water in Bahrain, Russia and Belgium
G
E is to design and supply a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system for The Bahrain Petroleum Co’s (BAPCO) oil refinery wastewater treatment plant in Sitra, Bahrain. GE will supply a ZeeWeed MBR system consisting of four MBR trains, each with 10 membrane cassettes containing ZeeWeed 500 membrane modules. It is being supplied under contract with EPC contractor GS Engineering & Construction and is expected to be operational later this year. The BAPCO refinery processes more than 250 000 barrels of crude daily. GE’s ZeeWeed technology will handle a maximum wastewater flow of about 24 million litres/day from the refinery and Sitra tank farm. GE will also provide support during its first five years of operation. Russia’s Ekaterinburg Municipal Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal utility will also
use GE’s ZeeWeed 500D ultrafiltration membrane technology to boost the water recovery capacity of its existing water treatment plant. The GE ultrafiltration membrane system will allow the Vodokanal treatment plant to recover 55 000 m3/ day of water for reuse to backwash the conventional filters in the facility. The new ZeeWeed system will begin commercial operation next year. “Water is a critical resource, and our strategy is to use proven and reliable technologies to conserve and reuse as much of it as possible,” said Vadim Kuznetsov, technical director of Ekaterinburg Municipal Unitary Enterprise Vodokanal. Meanwhile Umicore will use GE’s Advanced Biological Metals Removal Process (ABMet) wastewater bioreactor technology to remove selenium and other heavy metals from wastewater discharges at its precious metals recycling facility in Hoboken, Belgium. This is the first full-scale installation of GE’s ABMet technology in Europe. Commercial operation should start by the end of 2013. The ABMet system employs biofilters seeded with selected strains of naturally occurring, non-pathogenic microorganisms to produce treated effluent wastewater. The ABMet system at Umicore’s Hoboken plant will be able to treat an average 160 m3/hour of wastewater.
