Filtration+Separation November/December 2011
Water treatment products market to reach US$65bn in 2015 World demand for water treatment products is set to increase 6.2% per year to nearly US$65 billion in 2015. While China will remain the fastest growing major market, Freedonia estimates that North America will see growth of 4.7% per annum, Western Europe 4.4% and Asia Pacific 8.1%. In the more developed markets of the US, Japan and most of Western Europe, growth will come from efforts to increase water reuse rates, improve the quality of drinking water, and reduce water contamination and environmental damage. Freedonia believes this will boost demand for products
such as advanced membrane systems, disinfection equipment and specialty chemicals used in industrial wastewater treatment. In the US and a few other developed economies, demand will also be boosted by increased desalination capacity. In less developed, industrialising nations, growth will come from expanding sanitation services and from efforts to meet global standards for wastewater reclamation and effluent discharge quality. World Water Treatment Products is available for US$6400 from The Freedonia Group Inc. www.freedoniagroup.com
Name change for Amiad Filtration Systems Israel’s Amiad Filtration Systems Ltd has changed its name to Amiad Water Systems Ltd. Amiad says that the new name reflects the development and expansion of the company’s offering following the merger with Arkal Filtration Systems last year. Amiad now operates under three brands: Amiad, Arkal and Filtomat. The company has recently established Amiad Sistemas de Agua Ltda, a wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil. Initially,
Amiad Sistemas de Agua will target the non-irrigation segments of the fast-growing Brazilian market. “The establishment of this subsidiary in Brazil marks an important milestone for Amiad. A local presence will enable us to accelerate our growth and penetration in this country and, along with Amiad Andina in Chile, to benefit from the rapid economic development in the South American region,” said Arik Dayan, Amiad CEO. www.amiad.com
Siemens retrofits clarifiers at Denver wastewater reclamation plant Siemens Industry Automation Division is replacing secondary clarification treatment at the Robert W Hite Treatment Facility in Denver, Colorado, USA, with ten Tow-Bro high-performance clarifiers. The systems are valued at more than US$3.5 million and are part of a two-phase plant expansion project. The clarifiers are expected to be shipped in
2012, with five projected to come online in 2013 and the other five in 2014. The ten 140 ft diameter Siemens TowBro high-performance clarifiers will be retrofitted into existing concrete basins for rapid settled secondary sludge removal from the clarifier, with maximum solids concentration and minimum sludge agitation. www.siemens.com/water
Ambienta invests in Amplio Filtration Italian asset management company Ambienta SGR is investing €16 million in the Amplio Filtration Group.
