Malcolm
Pirnie Wins Ground Water Supply Award
Lansing, MI, November 14, 2002 - The
National Ground Water Association (NGWA) has recognized
environmental firm Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., for its outstanding work on
the Sanctuary Springs water supply development project for Nestle
Waters of North America, Inc. (NWNA). This prestigious award
recognizes outstanding engineering and contractor innovation in the
area of supplying ground water. The 2002 Outstanding Project in
Ground Water Supply Award will be presented to the firm at the NGWA
Ground Water Expo in Las Vegas on December 9.
Charged with developing a new spring
source for Nestle Waters of North America (NWNA) bottled water in
Michigan, Project Manager Shane McDonald and his project team used
an innovative "whole-watershed" strategy to identify and
develop the ideally suited Sanctuary Springs location. Malcolm
Pirnie exceeded State regulatory requirements, investigating
potential impacts of withdrawal on water bodies and water users by
simulating long-term effects of spring development, an approach to
water supply never before used in Michigan.
Not only does this project meet
present needs, but, according to Brendan O'Rourke of NWNA,
"This program will help us in managing the Sanctuary Springs
site in an environmentally sound manner and will also expand
understanding of regional water resources."

Clarifiers
and Centrifuges
Market for Sedimentation Equipment
Will Exceed $5B by 2007
Northbrook, IL -- The world market
for centrifuges, clarifiers, dissolved air flotation systems, and
hydrocyclones will grow from just over $4 billion in 2002 to just
under $5 billion in 2006 and by 2007 will be comfortably over the $5
billion mark. This is the forecast provided by the McIlvaine Company
in the continually updated online report Sedimentation &
Centrifugation World Markets.
Clarifiers and thickeners will
generate the most revenues. These gravity settling devices are
widely used. They are found in every country from Australian mines
to Finnish sewage treatment plants. The second largest equipment
category is the disc centrifuge that is used as a dairy separator as
well as a purifier of pharmaceuticals, wine, and many other
products. Third on the list is the decanter centrifuge. It dewaters
sewage sludge and coal fines as well as food products.
Fourth place belongs to the
miscellaneous centrifuge segment. Basket and pusher centrifuges are
widely used in the chemical industry and are used in sugar and other
food processing applications as well. In fifth place is the
dissolved air flotation (DAF) system. This device is replacing sand
filters in municipal drinking water purification as well as cleaning
wastewater in chicken processing plants and drive-in car washes.
Last on the list with just 13% of the market is the hydrocyclone
which is used in minerals processing and power plant scrubber
wastewater cleaning.
The clarifier market became more
concentrated with GL&V purchasing first Dorr Oliver and then
Eimco. The resultant combination has a good share of the mining
market. But USFilter is the leader in clarifiers in the municipal
segment. Alfa Laval is the leader in both the decanter and disc
centrifuge category followed GEA Westfalia who is second in both
categories. Because of the high speed and demanding manufacturing
requirements there is less Asian competition in centrifuges than in
the other devices. The centrifuge market is dominated by U.S.
European and Japanese manufacturers. In contrast there are clarifier
and DAF suppliers in virtually every country.
Municipal wastewater is now the
largest application for sedimentation and centrifugation equipment
followed by the mining and food industries. However by 2006 the food
industry will be the largest segment. The pharmaceutical industry is
one of the smaller segments with projected 2003 revenues of $236
million but it is the highest growth segment. In 2006 projected
revenues are $288 million. This is in part due to the critical role
that disc separators play in the production of biotechnology
products.
There will be a substantial increase
in the purchase of clarifiers/thickeners and hydrocyclones by U.S.
power plants as they install flue gas desulfurization systems over
the next eight years. The biggest growth market, however, will be
China which is making huge investments to build wastewater treatment
plants. At the same time it is also experiencing growth in the basic
industries which are also major users of sedimentation and
centrifugation equipment.

Saving
Millions of Gallons
Reuse System Recovers Water for
Beverage Manufacturer
Coconut Creek, FL – November 13,
2002– Water Management Group, Inc. has supplied a low-cost,
membrane process system for Shasta Corporation’s Miami Bottling
facility for the purpose of recovering thousands of gallons of
process water that would otherwise be discharged to the city sewer
system. The Miami Bottling facility had been exceeding its
permittable discharge limits and, as a result, been paying thousands
of dollars in fees to the Miami-Dade Sewer Authority.
The Water Management Group (WMG) “Reuse”
system is designed to recover approximately 75% of previously
treated water used for bottling soft drinks and bottled water
products. For this facility, the cost of the equipment will be
repaid in less than a year due to the cash savings that would have
otherwise been spent on discharge fees.
Additional savings come from the
reuse of the product water from the WMG “Reuse” system. The
water quality produced by the WMG system is so good that it is
reused in the facility in several ways resulting in additional
savings for Shasta.
“The system is working well and
dramatically reduced the outbound flow” according to Bill Berry,
Director of Operations at Beverage Corporation International, the
Miami division of Shasta Corp.
“We are very pleased to have the
opportunity to demonstrate that many beverage bottling companies,
with similar circumstances, may not need to discharge huge amounts
of “good” quality water to city sewer and pay thousands of
dollars in fees” said Jeff Dunn, Vice President of WMG. “The
water quality from the “Reuse” system is so good that the
recovered water can be reused for process water and/or plant
utilities.”
The Water Management Group, Inc.
(WMG) provides a wide range of outsourced technical services and
equipment for industrial, commercial and municipal clients. Staffed
with highly skilled service technicians, applications and membrane
process design professionals, WMG has the capability to handle all
of the technical challenges that membrane process systems may
present.

Mr. Haertle needs help with
grease buildup:
I would like to know if there is a
simple way to reduce the grease buildup in my clarifier I am working
with a activated sludge plant.

I am currently using C02 to adjust
the pH of a landfill leachate prior to sanitary sewer disposal. We
are experiencing problems with the formation of calcium carbonate in
this process.
We have used sulphuric acid in the
past to accomplish the same task, but this put our sulphate levels
out of compliance. Can anyone suggest an alternate method of
pH adjustment that will be as effective as our current system?.
