Siemens Water Technologies will display a model of the recently developed system for wastewater treatment at an ongoing water technologies show in Bahrain.

Sponsored by the Saudi Arabian Water Environment Association (SAWEA), Water Arabia 2011 opened today (January 31) at the Gulf International Convention and Exhibition Center, and will run until February 2.

Siemens collaborated with Aramco Overseas Company, a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, in developing the working model of the EcoRight MBR system. The carbon-enhanced MBR system combines three technologies – membrane separation, biological processes, and activated carbon – into a single wastewater treatment step to treat high-strength organic wastewaters and to produce high-quality water that can be direct-discharged into the environment or reused within an industrial plant for various purposes.

Other technologies displayed in the Siemens booth will include models of the Monosep high-flow walnut shell filter, an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane, and a ZABOCS biotrickling filter (BTF) unit.

Siemens experts will also be available to discuss blowers for use in wastewater aeration systems, water for petroleum industry downstream and upstream needs, recycle/reuse, mobile/temporary water treatment services, and municipal water and wastewater treatment.

Siemens will also host a pre-conference workshop on basic industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) design, presenting three technical papers at the event. – TradeArabia News Service
