WATER & WASTEWATER
Suez Environnement signs US wastewater contract worth US$1.2bn
S
uez Environnement subsidiary United Water has entered into a US$1.2 billion, 20-year agreement to operate, manage and maintain Nassau County’s wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations and sewers in New York State. The Nassau County sanitation network covers 1.2 million customers on Long Island. The local authority plans to invest more than US$830 million in the system. The project will enable the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 to be repaired, and the existing facilities to be reinforced.
ItN Nanovation to supply membranes to Veolia
I
tN Nanovation AG has received a binding order from Veolia Water VWS Saudi Industries Ltd to supply ceramic flat sheet membranes and accessories for a water treatment plant near Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The German company will also be in charge of the design of the plant’s heavymetal adsorption process. The project will be worth approximately E1.3 million to ItN Nanovation. When operational in 2015, the plant will produce more than 25 000 cubic metres of drinking water per day from deep ground water. The entire project will be managed by Saudi Arabia’s Al Manar Arabian Corp. Veolia will be responsible for the project’s technical construction work.
Wigen to provide UF skid system for Santa Barbara WWTP

igen Water Technologies will deliver its first large scale
Universal Ultrafiltration Skid system in North America for the city of Santa Barbara’s El Estero Wastewater Treatment Plant in California, USA. The system will produce recycled water for non-potable applications, reducing demand on the city’s drinking water supplies. Design engineer CDM Smith specified the Universal Rack system to be able to use three different MF or UF modules. This will mean that the city will not be locked into one supplier of replacement modules for the life of the treatment plant. “With our experience in having built UF systems using modules from different manufacturers, and the launch of our Spectrum Series Universal UF Rack last year that accommodates at least five of the UF modules that we have access to, we are excited to be able to provide this membrane system for the city of Santa Barbara,” said Jeff Wigen, president of Wigen Water Technologies. The Santa Barbara Universal UF Racks will be supplied with Dow IntegraFlo UF modules but are designed to also accommodate Toray and Hydranautics modules. The general contractor for the project is Schock Contracting Corp and the plant is scheduled to start up in the summer of 2015.
3D printed membrane could revolutionise water filtration
N
ano Sun, a two-year-old startup at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), has developed a multifunction water filtration membrane which it says could render current membranes in the water industry obsolete. The 3D-printed multiuse membrane lasts twice as long as conventional membranes, is highly resistant to breakage, and has antibacterial and anti-biofouling properties. It also has a flow rate of at least ten times faster than current water filtration membranes. The membrane features a patented titanium dioxide nanotechnology that can kill bacteria and break down organic compounds in wastewater with the help of sunlight or UV rays. The technology was invented by Associate Professor Darren Sun, from NTU’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The startup was cofounded by Adjunct Professor Wong Ann Chai from
