Municipal Water Treatment Plants Will Spend $4.5 Billion for Filtration and Separation Equipment in 2012
Municipal water treatment facilities will spend $4.5 billion this year for filters and clarifiers. This is the latest forecast achieved by aggregating projections in four McIlvaine Market reports.

Cross-flow membrane technologies are gaining market share at the expense of granular media filters. There is increasing concern about contaminated drinking water. Microfiltration is more efficient than a gravity media filter in removing harmful microbes. In some cases plants are going even further and installing the more efficient ultrafiltration membranes. When brackish water must be treated reverse osmosis is the answer. (These forecasts do not include desalination of seawater for drinking purposes.)
Cartridges are used in drinking water systems where operation is only a few months per year. This would include summer resorts in northern climates. The reason is that cartridges are not self cleaning. On the other hand, an alternative to cartridges labeled automatic back wash filters is making inroads into municipal drinking water treatment. These filters were originally developed for drip irrigation but are proving to have benefits in drinking water treatment.
Dissolved air flotation provides small particle removal and takes up less space than clarifiers. Hydrocyclones are very infrequently used and only for pre treatment when there are relatively large solids.
China is presently the largest purchaser of filtration and sedimentation equipment for new water treatment facilities. There is an international participation in the Chinese market. Veolia is operating Chinese water treatment facilities servicing over 27 million people. Suez has 23 joint ventures in water/wastewater serving 17 municipalities.

Veolia Will Manage Drinking Water Plants in Matsuyama Japan
Veolia Eau, the water services unit of French environmental services group Veolia Environment (EPA:VIE), said today it had received a contract to manage and maintain drinking water plants servicing the southern Japanese city of Matsuyama.
The company has been operating in Japan since 2002 in the wastewater sector. This is the first contract won by Veolia for drinking water management in the country.
Furthermore, Veolia Eau has renewed two contracts to manage and maintain for four years water purification plants in Hiroshima and for three years in Kyoto.
The three contracts will generate revenue of a total EUR 49 million (USD 64.5m) for Veolia.
The company's Japanese unit employs some 3,000 and generates revenues of some EUR 400 million.
ADP Selling Bonds for Water Supply Systems in Asia
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is selling its second Water Bond to Japanese investors to help finance its work in the water sector.
The Water Bond, denominated in Turkish lira, will be issued this month. ADB will provide assistance in an amount at least equal to the net proceeds of the bond to water-related projects in the region, such as new water supply systems in urban areas, major rehabilitation of existing irrigation systems, and investment in wastewater management.
“Hundreds of millions of people in developing Asia don’t have clean water to drink. Water to irrigate crops isn’t always available and water supplies are becoming scarcer due to pollution and climate change,” said Thierry de Longuemar, Vice President of Finance and Administration at ADB. “Through ADB’s Water Bonds, investors can support projects that directly answer this critical need for sufficient safe water.

RECENT CHEMICAL BID REPORTS
Xylem Upgrades UV Reactors for Drinking Water Plants with up to 1000 m3/h
Xylem, Inc. introduced advanced features to its WEDECO Spektron ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection product range. The upgrades to the closed vessel UV reactors are aimed at the municipal drinking water market for flows of a few cubic meters per hour (m³/h) to more than 1,000 m³/h.
All Spektron units will be rolled out as they earn DVGW/ ÖNORM certification, and CE and UL registration. In addition, a range of units will also be validated under full compliance to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Ultraviolet Disinfection Guidance Manual (UVDGM 2006). The entire series is expected to be fully validated by mid-2012.
“The Spektron series is designed to meet all common disinfection requirements including 3-log Cryptosporidum reduction,” said Mike Newberry, product manager for Xylem’s WEDECO UV systems. “And since it will be evaluated to all norms, it will fit any legal requirements for drinking water.”
The new Spektron units will be equipped with WEDECO’s latest ECORAY UV lamp and ballast technology. In combination with the option of variable power output control, they feature excellent energy efficiency under all operating conditions. While in dim mode, the ECORAY lamps realize energy savings of up to 20 percent of the energy and use up to 80 percent less mercury than the previous lamp generation. With respect to sustainability, the UV lamp's power savings translate to a carbon dioxide reduction of up to 500 kg per lamp over the lamp’s life cycle.
In addition, now all of the Spektron units can be ordered with an automatic wiping system and will have improved hydraulics conditions inside the reactor. Whilst the smaller units will continue to be equipped with WEDECO’s CrossMix module, the larger units will have the newly developed OptiCone installed. This patent pending flow diverter ensures optimal hydraulic conditions inside the reactor under all inlet piping configurations. The excellent performance of the units will be continuously monitored by an ÖNORM compliant UV sensor that fulfills reference sensor requirements.
