Veolia to construct E320mn desalination plant in Kuwait
V
eolia Environnement has won the contract to build a E320 million seawater desalination plant at the Az Zour North complex in Kuwait. Under an EPC (Engineering, Purchasing and Construction) contract secured in partnership with Hyundai Heavy Industries, Veolia subsidiary Sidem will build a desalination plant with a daily production capacity of 486 400 cubic metres of water. Hyundai will be responsible for building the 1500 MW power station. All the electricity generated and the water produced will be purchased by the Kuwaiti government for 40 years. Work is scheduled for completion by the end of 2016. The Az Zour desalination plant will account for approximately 20% of Kuwait’s installed capacity. UÊ i>Ü i]ÊÌ iÊÀ>µÊ ÃÌÀÞÊvÀÊ Municipalities and Public Works has selected Veolia to build a desalination plant in Basra, Iraq, and operate it for five years. Under the contract, won in partnership with Japan’s Hitachi and Egypt’s ArabCo, Veolia will build and operate a desalination plant with an ultrafiltration unit and reverse osmosis membranes. The plant will produce 200 000 cubic metres of drinking water per day. Construction work on the plant will start early this year and should be completed within 30 months.

WATER & WASTEWATER
United Envirotech MBR to treat Chinese textile wastewater
U
nited Envirotech Ltd has been awarded a RMB250 million engineering procurement and construction (EPC) project by Bishui Lantian Water Co Ltd (BSLT) to construct a 60 000 m3/day underground membrane bioreactor (MBR) plant to treat textile wastewater from a textile industrial park in Baoding’s Gaoyang County in Hebei province, China. The new MBR plant is the phase 3 expansion of an existing 140 000 m3/ day wastewater treatment plant serving the industrial park. The project will start immediately and is expected to be completed by the end of 2014. United Envirotech has also signed a framework agreement with BSLT’s parent company Hebei Hongrun New Material Co Ltd to set up a joint venture to collaborate on future projects on wastewater treatment plant upgrading, recycling, supply of steam and the acquisition of its existing water treatment assets. United Envirotech also has an agreement with Guangan Municipal Government and West Guangan Jean City Investment Management Co Ltd (WGIM) to provide industrial water supply, wastewater treatment and wastewater recycling to West Guangan Jeans and Textile Commerce and Technology (JTCT) Park in Guangan City, Sichuan Province, China. WGIM is the main developer behind the RMB6 billion JTCT Park, which is expected to house over 1000 companies involved in the production of jeans.

MARKET PROSPECTS Supply and Drainage Board to design and oversee the completion of a new water supply treatment plant, including storage tanks, pumping stations, a dam and impoundment reservoir, water intake structures, and transmission and distribution pipelines for the city of Badulla and surrounding communities of Ella and Haliela in Sri Lanka. Tetra Tech will also rehabilitate two existing treatment plants during the three and a half year contract period. Once in place, the water supply system will help the government of Sri Lanka to realise its objective of providing safe drinking water to 85% of the population, in line with the United Nations Millennium Development goals. The contract is mainly financed by the United States Export-Import Bank.
‘Innovation is key’ says new Black & Veatch global director
B
lack & Veatch’s new global director of water technology John Tattersall says that water services represent one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. He cites “growing scarcity, rapid urbanisation, climate change, tightening regulatory controls and environmental protection,” as key issues common to all water utilities and agencies around the world. As the newly promoted leader of Black & Veatch’s water technology group, Tattersall will lead over 60 staff in a cross-discipline global team. “We see a continuing tightening of water quality standards and a drive to meet tougher discharge limits,” he says. And, on the subject of wastewater, he speaks of a paradigm shift away from sewage being viewed as a problem, to its recognition as an increasingly valuable resource. “There is a huge desire within the industry to do more with less. By reappraising wastewater treatment infrastructure we have the potential to engineer new sources of water, power and nutrients. This is an area where Black & Veatch excels with innovative, global treatment solutions.” Project examples includes a nutrient recovery system being designed and built by

POWER GENERATION
Degremont awarded two water contracts in Brazil’s power sector
S
uez Environnement subsidiary Degremont has secured two four-year contracts from Tractebel Energia to operate the water cycle facilities at the Jorge Lacerda thermoelectric complex and the Lages bioenergy plant in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The contracts are valued at E4 million over a 4-year period. The water facilities include four power boilers, cooling tower systems, air conditioning systems, two water treatment plants and two demineralisation plants. With an installed capacity of 857 MW, the Jorge Lacerda facility is Latin America’s largest coal burning thermoelectric complex. The Lages bioenergy plant is fuelled with biomass and has an installed capacity of 28 MW.
Lewabrane filter elements clean German power plant water
The reverse osmosis facility in the Chemnitz power plant was developed and designed by the Celle-based water technology company Berkefeld, a subsidiary of the global group Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies. The power plant draws water for the cooling processes and steam production from the Chemnitz and Zschopau rivers. Even after it has been softened and desalinated using ion exchange resins, the water still contains a considerable amount of organic substances that cause excessive conductivity in the water-steam cycle that is harmful to the turbine and other components. The LANXESS membrane filter elements lower the degree of fluctuation in water quality and in particular filter out organic substances.
Doosan to build US$1.5bn thermal power plant in Vietnam

oosan Heavy Industries & Construction has won a US $1.5 billion project to construct a 1200 MW coal-fired thermal power plant in Vietnam. The Vinh Tan 4 coal-fired thermal power plant will be built in Binh Thuan, 230 km east of Ho Chi Minh City. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction will conduct the entire project, from the design and production of equipment and materials to their installation and test operation, under the EPC method. The project is scheduled for completion in June 2018.

ANXESS’s fouling-resistant membrane technology is being used on a large scale in Europe for the first time. A set of 60 Lewabrane RO B400 FR filter elements at the Dammweg thermal power station in Chemnitz, Germany apply a reverse osmosis process to cleanse 50–60 cubic metres of pre-treated river water per hour for steam generation purposes. “The 90% reduction in the organic contamination of river water demanded by the operator of the power plant can be easily achieved using our membrane technology,” said Dr Jens Lipnizki, head of technical marketing membranes in LANXESS’s Liquid Purification Technologies business unit.
