30-MGD Membrane Treatment System
Expansion
 Erlangen,
Germany -- Siemens Water Technologies has been awarded an
$8.45 million (6,25 million euros) contract by Archer
Western Contractors to expand the Scottsdale Water Campus
Central Arizona Project (CAP) drinking water treatment
plant.
Archer Western is a general
contractor working for the City of Scottsdale, Arizona.
Siemens will supply a 30 million gallons per day (MGD)
(113.5 MLD) system that uses the latest Memcor CP membrane
technology. The project is scheduled for completion in early
2009.
The Scottsdale Water Campus
presently consists of a 12-MGD (45.4 MLD) water reclamation
plant and a 50-MGD (190 MLD) drinking water treatment plant.
The reclamation plant uses a Memcor PP (polypropylene)
membrane system, installed in the late 1990’s, as
pretreatment to reverse osmosis for treating wastewater that
is then used for both aquifer recharge and irrigation.
The drinking water treatment
plant has been using media clarification to treat surface
water from a canal. This plant needed to be expanded because
of increased demand for drinking water in the North
Scottsdale area. Today, the city of Scottsdale has a
population of 240,000. In the last 10 years, the population
has grown by about 35 percent.
For the drinking water treatment
plant expansion, the Scottsdale Water Campus considered
several different membrane technologies. After a successful
100-day pilot test was conducted at the site, the City of
Scottsdale chose the Memcor CP system for its effluent
quality, lower installed cost and ease of expandability.
The Memcor CP system, introduced
by Siemens in June 2006, uses 1.8-meter PVDF (polyvinylidene
fluoride) membrane modules, which increase the filtrate
capacity by over 50 percent, compared to the earlier
generation Memcor membrane modules. The CP system provides
greater than 4-log removal of Cryptosporidium, Giardia and
bacteria, and over 1.5-log virus rejection, regardless of
changing feed water conditions. Its compact, modular design
allows the system to be easily modified and expanded, and
takes up roughly 70 percent less space than conventional
water treatment systems.
The system expansion at the
Scottsdale Water Campus will initially consist of seven
Memcor CP units, each containing 324 modules, with the
building designed to accommodate a total of ten units,
bringing the total design capacity of the expansion to 45
MGD (170 MLD).
The Memcor CP system, introduced
by Siemens in June 2006, uses 1.8-meter PVDF (polyvinylidene
fluoride) membrane modules, which increase the filtrate
capacity by over 50 percent, compared to the earlier
generation Memcor membrane modules.

Iraq : Water Treatment Facility
Completed
 An
Nasiriyah, Iraq -- The Gulf Region South district of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has completed one of the
largest water projects in Iraq - a $266 million facility in
Al Shatra to provide thousands of Iraqis with clean drinking
water.
At a
recent ceremony, officials from the Iraqi Ministry of
Municipalities and Public Works and the Nasiriyah Governate
Council gathered to mark the completion of the Nasiriyah
Water Treatment Plant by opening the city connections at an
elevated storage tank and allowing water to flow into the
distribution network.
The
plant and distribution system will help provide clean water
to more than 500,000 residents of Dhi Qar Province in
Southern Iraq serving five major communities in the
province: Nasiriyah, Suq Ash Shuek, Al Diwaya, Al Shatra,
and Al Gharraf.
Safe
drinking water will prevent the spread of disease in an area
that historically has suffered from a lack of clean water
and the resulting adverse health consequences. Southern Iraq
has an extremely high mortality rate for infants and other
children under the age of five due largely to preventable
water-borne diseases.
GRS
awarded the contract in 2004 for the water project to
FlourAMEC, a joint U.S.-British venture, to design and
construct the facility at Al Shatra. The plant is capable of
producing 10,000 cubic meters of treated water per hour,
according to Navy Cmdr. Mike Lang, Adder Area Office, GRS.
“The
overall project included the construction of a water
treatment plant with 10 clarifiers, three booster pump
stations, five elevated storage tanks, five river crossings,
and a pipeline of more than 100 kilometers,” Lang said.
FlourAMEC was recognized in August 2006 for its outstanding
efforts in the prevention of job site accidents in
connection the project. For more than two years from August
2004 to October 2006, 793 days and 4.5 million contract
hours were put in without a recorded workday accident.

Mr. Grose wants to know what 'chloroalkanes' are:
Hi everybody, it's been a
while. Here's my dilemma, I do pretreatment for a small city
in MO. We have a car wheel manufacture that has a
pretreatment facility that uses a plate press for sludge.
They want to use a new lube
product that contains 19% chloroalkanes, I can't find much
about this compound that I can make since of. There
pretreatment guy said that all he could find was that the
DOT regulates this as a marine hazard. I don't know if I
want this going to our activated sludge plant.
Any water that would have
this in it will go through there pretreatment before being
discharged to us. Any help anybody can give would be greatly
appreciated. (Click

Mr. Sagarino needs help with
his aeration basin:
We have a current problem in
our aeration basin. The settled sludge is 900 ml/L even if
we have already reduced the RAS significantly. We have
already increased our wasting and still the MLSS is still
very high at the aeration basin.
I can't further more reduce
the RAS since our CSDT is already high by our internal
standard. The current CSDT is 13 hours already, normally we
have a CSDT of up to 8 hours only. I viewed already in the
microscope, I found filamentous but I've already treated it
with disinfectant.
The D.O. is now very low at
the aeration basin, and the sludge level in the clarifier is
increasing. There is also thin floatings visible at the
clarifier, but only rises up at night time.
Any ideas how can I solve our
problem?
