Ask the average man (or woman) on
the street what they think the terms
“Industry 4.0” or the “Industrial Inter-
net” mean and I’m sure most will look
back puzzled. And rightly so. The terms of “band-
width”, “internet”, “4G” and “wireless” have just
about made it into the general masses’ vocabu-
lary. So what about these other phrases and what
do they mean exactly? I think I found the answer,
or at least the start of it, during a couple of work
trips recently.
The frst trip was an invite to see a German au-
tomation company’s headquarters and its manu-
facturing operations. As a self-confessed lover
of technology and gadgets
(read between the lines as
geek), I was amazed to see
the level of technology and
engineering that goes into
manufacturing products that
are taken for granted in water
processing, such as valves.
Numerous water case studies
were presented on how water
treatment plants are becom-
ing more automated.
The show stealer though,
was a demonstration fight of the company’s
SmartBird, developed as part of the Festo Bionic
Learning Network in 2011. The robotic bird hov-
ers and moves through the air like the real thing!
This is part of a suite of animals designed by the
company, including robotic penguins, jellyfsh and
its elephant trunk-like “bionic handling assistant”.
Yet, what’s this got to do with water, you’ll
most likely be asking? It’s all part of the “Industry
4.0” topic many manufacturers are talking about.
The theory goes like this: humans are highly
fexible and can master a variety of tasks within
a very short time. Present-day machines mean-
while are often static, but can work quickly, pre-
cisely and powerfully. The challenge is combing
the two worlds.
And relating the bionic animals to water equip-
ment is relatively straightforward: the jellyfsh
wirelessly talk to each and share data to avoid
colliding. Remind you of anything? Perhaps mod-
ern smart water meters (see page 16) that give
utilities the option of monitoring variable data
points on water fow and usage?
The second trip was an invite to speak about
water issues on an energy-water panel debate at
the World Congress for Science Journalists in Hel-
sinki, Finland.
The phrase of the “industrial internet” was dis-
cussed, which means the convergence of ma-
chine and intelligent data.
GE believes that for power generation this will
mean turbines will be able to react to changes in
power demands, grid conditions and fuel supply
in real time. For transport it could mean trains ad-
justing speed to lower fuel consumption and au-
tomatically track location. And so the list goes on.
Like with the buzzword “smart water grids”,
I’m suspecting that, many utilities will be sceptical
about such advanced technology and ideas, at
least for the time being. When it comes to water
supply public, safety is the number one priority.
Risks are not taken lightly when it comes to
new technologies and concepts. It is not only
until results - hard facts and fgures concerning
money and energy savings achieved by a utility
willing to take a risk – that perhaps people will
take more of an interest.
I’d like to say this is a glimpse into the future.
Yet we have heard how water plants in countries
such as Egypt, the Philippines and Mexico have
implemented the latest solutions to really moder-
nise operations. So perhaps we are closer to the
industrial internet and industry 4.0 age than we
think. WWi
Is it a [Smart]bird, a Plane? No it’s the Industrial Internet
Tom Freyberg
Chief Editor
Global engineering companies are investing heavily into R&D
to fnd out how technological advancement will better the
provision of services such as water. But what about “Industry
4.0” or the “Industrial Internet” and their impact?

Worldwide News Europe
June/July | 2013
Norway’s Røros municipality has up-
graded its water treatment plant for NOK
10 million (EUR 1.3 million) with bioflm
technology from Biowater Technology.
The heart of the purifcation plant
consists of two bioreactors that clean
wastewater for organic dissolved mate-
rial using their own bio-elements fowing
freely around the reactors. The challenge
of Røros is the cold winters (down to -40°
C), which means trials for both technical
equipment and living cultures. Over the
past few years, climate effects have led
to fuctuations in precipitation and tem-
perature, which occasionally result in
high dilution of drains and extreme varia-
tion in temperature.
The purifcation plant handles sew-
age from approximately 3,000 person
equivalents (p.e.), as well as wastewater
from the slaughterhouse and dairy, which
gives a total purifcation need equivalent
to 4,000 p.e. The biological process is
designed for 10.000 p.e.
Arnfnn Vestengen, plant manager,
said: “As Røros municipality is on UNES-
CO’s list of World Heritage Sites for his-
toric mining, as well as sought after by
sports fshermen. Effuent must look clear
and be clean. It is our goal and require-
ment to affect Glomma as little as pos-
sible this is Norway’s main river.”
Water supply contract awarded in
Draveil, France, for €20m
The Sénart Val de Seine joint urban
authority has selected Veolia Water to
manage the water supply network and
customer service for its main town of
Draveil (28,500 people with 7,025 water
service customers).
Worth over 20 million euros over a
period of 10 years, the contract, del-
egated up to now to another private op-
erator, enables Veolia Water to establish
operations in a new area of the Essonne
department, which is part of the Ile-de-
France region surrounding Paris.
Veolia Water will be providing solu-
tions to meet the needs of the town of
Draveil for water supply and network
performance.
Under the terms of the contract, Veo-
lia Water has committed:
- A lasting improvement in distribution
network performance: Veolia Water
will fnd leaks and repair them in order
to reach a performance of 85% rather
than the 81.9% measured in 2012
(1,259,000 cubic meters distributed). To
meet this challenging target, 1 kilometer
of network will be renewed every year.
- An improvement in customer satis-
faction via indicators that will ensure
reduced lead times for each type of re-
quest (replies to letters, technical inter-
ventions, compliance with appointment
times, etc.)
Smart meter trial rolled out in South
Staffs Water
South Staffs Water has started a trial to
connect up to 1,000 smart meters in
Kinver, South Staffordshire, UK.
The trial will take place over a two-
year period and delivered by Smart-
Reach, a collaboration of Arqiva, BAE
Systems Detica and Sensus.
Many of the meters will be situated in
underground chambers.
Dutch frm PWN Technologies and
Japanese operation METAWATER have
entered an 18 month agreement to seek
out and develop business opportunities for
the supply of ceramic membrane systems.
PWN Technologies’ primary roles in
the alliance will be marketing, business
development, client management and
the supply and engineering of its Ce-
raMac system. METAWATER will be re-
sponsible for delivering the membranes
for the system and the supply of engi-
neering services.
PWN Technologies and METAWATER
collaborated on the construction of the
water treatment plant Andijk III (PWN) in
the Netherlands and the CeraMac demo-
plant at the Choa Chu Kang Waterworks
(PUB) in Singapore.
A trial is also underway in Southern
England using ceramic membrane fl-
tration.
The starting point for the partner-
ship will be to determine which system,
either CeraMac or METAWATER’s ce-
ramic system, is more appropriate for
a certain project, including from the
standpoint of the specifc technical ap-
proach, such as piloting.
Both companies will make commer-
cially reasonable efforts to collaborate
intensively on conducting pilot testing. It
is anticipated that each pilot test will be
approached as a common project, which
will entail the sharing of resources i.e. pilot
plants, data, and operational staff. A joint
economic analysis will be done to deter-
mine where each respective system is the
most competitive based on fow rate.
Envirogen Water Technologies has
acquired the assets of Derwent Water
Services and Derwent Water Systems
with the aim to increase its presence in
the UK industrial water treatment and fl-
tration market.
Derwent Water has established itself
as a manufacturer and supplier of water
treatment plant products, including ba-
sic water softeners and reverse osmosis
equipment. The Envirogen Group already
has Puresep Technologies and Environ-
mental Water Systems (UK) as part of the
European Group, alongside Envirogen
Technologies Inc in the US. The Derwent
Water brand will continue to have a pres-
ence under the parent company and legal
entity Envirogen Water Technologies.

Saudi Arabian water and electricity services op-
erator Marafq has contracted Veolia Water to design,
build and operate the largest ultrafltration and reverse
osmosis desalination plant in Saudi Arabia.
With this contract, Veolia Water will generate $310
million (€232 million) in revenue for the plant’s design
and construction, and $92 million (€69 million) in rev-
enue for its operation for 10 years, with an option to
extend the contract for a further 20 years.
With a capacity of 178,000 m3/day, this new plant
will supply the Sadara petrochemical complex built by
Dow Chemical and Saudi Aramco in Jubail Industrial
City II and is due to come on stream in June 2015.
Dow Chemical and Aramco will produce solvents
and glues for the automotive and packaging industries
at the Sadara site. The water supplied will be used in
this immense facility’s two cooling towers and as boiler
feed water.
To meet strict water quality standards required by
Marafq, Veolia Water, through its subsidiary Sidem, has
designed a plant combining two seawater treatment
solutions: ultrafltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO).
After an initial treatment phase involving dissolved
air fotation to capture the suspended particles in the
water and UF, the water will then be desalinated by RO
membranes before being remineralized.
Present in Saudi Arabia since 1979 where it built

Mozambique. This distribution system will ultimately
supply safe drinking water to 20,000 households. The
new water distribution system will be part of the so-
called Corumana Water Supply System, a US$130
million World Bank funded project through a loan to
the Mozambique Government. The Corumana Sys-
tem will initially supply 60,000 m3 per day of treated
drinking water from the Corumana Dam to Maputo.
This capacity will be extended during a second phase
to 120,000 m3 per day.

The Cederberg Municipality has awarded a R17 mil-
lion ($1.7m) contract to the Veolia Water Solutions
& Technologies subsidiary, Veolia Water Solutions
& Technologies South Africa, to design, build and
commission a 1700 m3/day seawater desalination
plant in Lamberts Bay.
Specifcations also require the plant to accommodate
a future upgrade to 5000 m3/day.
It is hoped the infrastructure upgrade will help allevi-
ate growing pressure on the region’s water system
and improve availability of high-quality water for the
region’s nearly 40,000 residents.
Due for commissioning in October 2013, the plant will
source seawater from boreholes drilled nearby the
shore close to Muisbosskerm. Once desalinated,
the water will be stabilised with limestone and CO2,
and then be fed into the town’s existing freshwater
network.
Veolia’s manufacturing subsidiary in Spain will supply
the plant’s standard seawater desalination skids.
The Lamberts Bay contract follows six seawater de-
salination plants installed by Veolia along the Cape
coastline since 2009 at Canon Rocks, Bushman’s
River Mouth, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Mossel Bay
and Saldanha.

An $8 million, year-long project to
construct a new water treatment plant
in Staunton, Illinois, that uses dissolved
air fotation (DAF) clarifcation system to
remove algae at the beginning of the
treatment process, has been completed
by Kaiser Electric.
Approximately 80% of the facility is
located underground, with major struc-
tures and piping out of view and de-
signed to blend in with its surroundings.
The company said: “The DAF system
drastically reduces the need for expen-
sive treatment chemicals often used in a
traditional sedimentary process.”
The total project included construc-
tion of one building to house the water
treatment plant and installation of the
Clari-DAF system, three dual media
gravity flters, one standby generator, one
bridge crane, one buried sand wastewa-
ter flter, one chemical feed system, two
high service pumps. It also included the
installation of pipe for process sewers,
storm sewers, chemical feed, process
water, potable water, non-potable water
and sludge.
The general contractor on the
Staunton project was Korte & Luitjohan
Contractors, Inc. of Highland, Illinois and
the architect/engineer was Heneghan &
Associates of Columbia, Illinois.
Layne Christensen Company has
launched a water transfer business within
the Layne Energy Services Division. Layne
is currently providing these services for its
clients operating in the Permian Basin.
The business will provide solutions to
manage the water cycle as it relates to its
use in the oil & gas industry (conventional
and unconventional).
This includes hydrogeological investiga-
tion and sourcing; transfer; storage; treat-
ment; and well testing.
The transfer business transmits water
from point-to-point using a variety of pip-
ing, containment, and management tech-
niques that are effcient, cost-effective and
eliminate the need for trucking.
Rene Robichaud, president and CEO
of Layne said the move is part of the goal
to generate $20 million in revenue at Layne
Energy Services by year-end.
A stormwater management-rainwa-
ter harvesting system and solar panel ar-
ray has been installed as part of Tampa
Bay Housing Authority’s new $450 mil-
lion Ultra-Green Inner-City Development
known as “Encore Tampa” in Florida.
The new venture is a 28-acre sustain-
able, mixed-use development located
under the new community park that con-
trols and harvests stormwater runoff to
irrigate the new green space park.
Oldcastle Precast designed and pro-
vided the modular underground retention
structure for the new stormwater man-
agement system, engineered by Clear-
water, Florida-based Cardno TBE, to
store, treat and harvest stormwater runoff
on the 28 acre Encore site. The precast
concrete Storm Capture retention system
manages and controls the volume and
discharge timing of stormwater runoff.
The engineered design maximizes stor-
age volume while minimizing the project’s
footprint and cost, allowing for a quick
and effcient installation.
The 18,000 square foot, stormwater
retention-harvesting system includes
a Storm Capture vault composed of
(146) 10’ tall Storm Capture modules
that can hold up to 33,000 cubic feet
of water before recycling it for irrigation
use, (2) Nutrient Separating Baffe Boxes
(by Suntree Technologies) with adjacent
sediment chambers for pretreatment,
and a harvesting & irrigation equipment
assembly (by John Deere -- Green Tech).
All surface stormwater is collected from
the site, piped into the Nutrient Separat-
ing Baffe boxes and sediment chambers,
and stored in the Storm Capture modules
for irrigating the site landscape.
Oldcastle Precast also supplied pre-
cast perimeter walls for the sand flter
assembly, precast ramp assembly for
equipment access into the sand flter,
sanitary manholes and inlets.
Their sister company Oldcastle APG
supplied 120,000 square feet of Bel-
gard Hardscapes pavers and block for
intricate hardscape paver walkways and
permeable pavers for the center median
of the main thoroughfare to reduce the
heat island effect and aid in stormwater
management.

India to roll out smart meters in New Delhi
Indian construction company Larsen & Turbo has selected Itron to provide an ad-
vanced metering solution to the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). The solution includes 120,000
advanced automated meters, 40,000 standard meters, mobile collection equipment
and software, which will be used to collect, measure and analyze water usage. With
120,000 advanced meters deployed in New Delhi, the project will be India’s largest
mobile advanced metering system when completed. Itron was selected after a six-
month pilot in collaboration with Larsen & Turbo.
Itron has also been awarded another contract by a Indian infrastructure develop-
ment company, SPML, to provide 90,000 advanced meters to DJB in the Malviya
Nagar, Vasant Vihar and Mehrauli areas of New Delhi.
Through a consortium led by Suez Environment and SPML, the 12-year pilot proj-
ect aims to improve water distribution and ensure continuity of service throughout the
day, reduce water losses in the network and improve customer service.

Chinese residents are the most sup-
portive of water reuse, compared to their
counterparts in the United States and
Singapore and demonstrated the highest
knowledge about water infrastructure is-
sues, according to a survey.
Based on 3,000 online interviews, the
water reuse survey was conducted by GE in
partnership with StrategyOne and examined
consumer attitudes in the three countries.
China, Singapore and the United States.
The GE water reuse survey indicates
that approximately nine out of 10 Chinese
residents are concerned with the water
quality and the availability of clean water for
future generations.
Although large industries, agriculture,
corporations, utilities and power compa-
nies were seen as most responsible for
contributing an “extreme amount” or “quite
a bit” to the region’s water scarcity, Chinese
people feel that it is important for all enti-
ties to take initiatives and responsibility to
protect water resources, said the results.
Approximately 90% of Chinese survey par-
ticipants show a favorable attitude toward
entities that choose to protect water re-
sources or use recycled water.
While the same trend was observed by
those responding to the survey in Singa-
pore, Americans did not show as strong a
favorable view.
The majority of Chinese people agree
that protection of water resources (95%)
and water scarcity (87%) are national is-
sues and only 61% and 45% view these as
local issues. In line with these trends, the
Chinese residents expect the national gov-
ernment to take the lead to resolve water
scarcity issues and regard the decisions to
protect the water resources as top priority
for the government.
Key fndings showed that all three
countries, especially China (88%), believe
that the water scarcity issue can be com-
batted by using recycled water.
Xylem has designed and installed the

domestic wastewater in the region, which
has a population of 175,000 people.

saw Enviro Engineering Corporation, a
company of Saigon Water Infrastructure

Consisting of an open-channel UV
disinfection system and advanced (SBR)
Process Solution, the system included
diffusers, decanters, blowers and moni-
toring and controls, as well as a variety of
pumps and compact mixers.
Xylem said it has a long history in
Vietnam, with many Flygt and Leopold-
brand installations already in operation in
the country.

Widespread pollution prompted the Malaysian authorities to launch a project
to improve 110kms of the river into a vibrant and liveable waterfront,
moving from its current class III - V status (water quality not suitable for
body-contact) to a Class IIb river clean enough for recreational use by the
year 2020.
With an annual rainfall of nearly 2,400mm with peaks up to 280mm in April
and November, Malaysia is subject to high fash fow conditions under
intense rain storms; road side drains discharge into high volume monsoon
drainsand eventually into the river.
The environment also suffers from large amounts of discarded waste such
as polystyrene food trays, organic pollutants such as food and cooking
oil, and hydrocarbons. After storm events, the heavy load of silt and trash
congregates in the rivers.
As a result, technology has been supplied and approved within the Malaysian
government’s Manual Sahran Mesra Alam Malaysia (MSMA) which has
placed increased emphasis in Malaysia on the need for stormwater control
at or near source, and improve run-off quality.

Making Ripples: Water Leader Focus

Anyone who has seen Avshalom Felber speak in public
at water conferences or events could easily think he
has come from an engineering background. After all,
the CEO of IDE Technologies is very comfortable with
the technical details of water processes. But you would
be wrong.
As much as water management is an engineering based industry,
it is also hard to detangle water provision from politics and fnance.
And it’s the latter where Felber comes in.
He describes his entry into IDE Technologies as happening “by
accident” but that his time there has been a “love story”.
“I’ve absolutely no background in the water industry,” he tells WWi
magazine. “The owners thought the main attribute they needed for
the CEO of a company like IDE Technologies was a fnancial back-
ground, rather than a water and engineering background. The rea-
son being it was just after IDE had won the Ashkelon project, which
was the frst mega size BOT (build-operate-transfer) project and they
were unable to fnance the deal during the diffcult economic years
between 2001-2002.
“They also had some other issues with the company that needed
turning around and
basically, they didn’t
want an engineer.
They brought me in
for a short period to
restructure, to do
the re-fnancing of
Ashkelon and then
move on.”
Over 11 years
later and the CEO
is still there and de-
scribes his time as
a “long marriage”.
With a fnancial background, he previously worked in the Ministry of
Finance and as the CFO of Israel Ports and Railways Authority.
Clearly a numbers man, Felber has grown to love the water sec-
tor. “It is a fascinating industry,” he enthuses. “It has political aspects,
engineering aspects of course and some fnancial aspects.”
Leading Israel’s Global Desalination CompanyFrom its Ashkelon project in Israel, IDE Technologies has come
a long way to win the Carlsbad desalination technology supply
contract in California. Tom Freyberg catches up with the man be-
hind the company’s quite phenomenal growth – CEO and presi-
dent Avshalom Felber – to fnd out what the secret is.

CHANGING THE US’ PERCEPTION OF DESALINATION
At the end of April IDE Technologies scooped the Desalination Deal of the Year at the Global Water
Awards for its Carlsbad desalination project in California. The company was praised for “the pioneering
collaborative approach taken at Carlsbad will serve as a blueprint for the fnancing of other large-scale
desalination projects across the southern US”.
Expected to produce over 200,000 m3/day of water per day by the end of 2015, the facility will be
one of the largest in the Western Hemisphere. IDE will design and install the equipment and provide
operation and maintenance over a 30-year period.
Shrouded in controversy and a 12-year planning battle, the San Diego project required such a “pio-
neering approach”, as cited, to really bring it through to fruition. Despite the project’s complex, political
history, Felber is relaxed about how he sees IDE Technologies’ position but has learned a great deal
about public-private-partnerships (PPPs) in the US.
“The frst thing we’ve learned is that there is the world and there is the US. And then there is the US
and then there is California,” he jokes.
“Hopefully, this is going to help recover the American perception of desalination they had from the
Tampa Bay project which wasn’t a big success. And hopefully this project will change the way they
look at desalination as a viable, reliable solution for water shortage issues.”
The CEO adds: “America is a different world. Water issue/water rights and water procurement is
done in such a complex way. Not even in China is there such a level of complexity. This is all just in
Southern California. Maybe if you go to Northern California there will be another story, go to Texas and
there will defnitely be another story… We don’t want to be in the position of a developer in the US.”
CHINA CHARGE
On the subject of China, Felber is keen to point out his company’s long history in the country. “We’ve
been following the Chinese market for 15 years now,” he says. “In terms of the desalination industry
we were one of the frst companies to set up an offce there. Since then, we’ve been tracking numer-
ous projects that have started and died. The main challenge is to fnd out about all the opportunities
there – there are hundreds or more that are being discussed – which are the ones that are for real and
the ones that are going to come through to fruition. Once that is done you still have to win the tender
and be competitive.”
It was in 2010 when SDIC Tianjin Electric Generation Plant commissioned IDE Technologies for
the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services for China’s largest thermal desalina-
tion plant. The 200,000 m3/day Multi-Effect Distillation (MED) is designed with an ultimate capacity
of 400,000 m3/day. Powered by the electric plant’s waste heat, a closed seawater circulation mode
eliminates dependency on external freshwater.
“We still give the country a lot of focus because we agree, when China grows it will be in a big way,”
he adds. “That’s the general way of the Chinese market. Naturally also Chinese competition grows
and a lot of companies are taking an interest in the arena. A lot of companies want to invest and buy a

technology and run to the stock exchange and foat the company for
20 times what they bought it for. It’s a virgin land. In this sense I think
we are waiting for the marketplace to settle. Then people will be able
to see who is still standing after all this noise of all the companies that
are trying to start and do something about it.”
PRE-ASSEMBLED DESALINATION FACILITIESFelber says that the manufacturing plant built in China especially for
the Tianjin project has since been used for exporting kit worldwide to
India, Australia, Chile and Mexico. “We do most of our environmental
manufacturing today in China”, he adds.
This included fabricating and testing 60 pre-assembled modules
in Tianjin and then shipping them to the company’s 140,000 m3/day
Cape Preston desalination plant to supply an iron ore mine in Austra-
lia’s Pilbara region. The CEO says there’s more than meets the eye
when it comes to literally shipping a desalination plant.
“It’s not modelled the way you think two containers attached to-
gether,” Felber explains. “It’s whole, huge buildings that were pre-as-
sembled, built and wired and everything was on board and shipped
to Australia in one piece. You need people that are willing to take such
a big challenge and have to have a strong belief in their capabilities
and strong belief in managing suppliers on the Chinese side. This is
what we had with our partner and they went along with this. I’m not
sure it will be so easily replicated. This is not something that can be
done for each project.”
COST OF PRODUCED WATERWith fnance and numbers being one of Avshalom’s strengths, it
makes sense to ask him about how IDE Technologies is progressing
in bringing down the cost of produced water.
“Frankly, this is one of the biggest challenges of our industry,” he
says. “It’s very hard to tell who will prevail in this. There is a lot of
potential for further reductions in water cost. Depending on the ele-
ments of energy, price and construction costs in different areas, we
look at between US$0.60 to $1.2 per m3 as the range for normal
projects. This is before you get to very complex or ambitious projects,
say if you’re bidding for a plant on top of a mountain it would naturally
be very different.
“This wide range ($0.60 – $1.20) is one that most conventional
projects can fall within pretty easily. There are two major questions:
how can you make sure this range gets closer to the $0.60 and less
towards the $1.20. The other is how can you take the next steps to
see how you can progress below the next level, under $0.40. I believe
both things are possible but there some major challenges.”
Felber believes that conservatism in municipal water control – one
of the biggest markets – is one element that’s holding back breaking
the $0.40 price barrier. “The highest priority on the agenda is not to
fail, rather than the optimal solution,” he says. “And it’s natural for
bureaucratic systems. They have to prove they’ve done all the work
properly and taken all the precautions needed in order not to pay
for a white elephant. This mentality – of not wanting to fail – pushes
everything towards conservatism.”
The CEO adds: “Complementary to that, you get the consulting
frms that again, don’t want to fail and their name is much more im-
portant – they don’t want their name to be related to any project that
wasn’t a success. Their working model is such that there isn’t an
interest for them to take a risk which is different from us as a supplier.”
MEMBRANE VS. THERMAL DESALINATIONThermal desalination processes (MSF and MED) have been a main-
stay of potable water production in regions such as the Middle East.
Although viewed as more robust, the decreasing cost of membranes
has meant that seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) processes have
been slowly accepted. Yet, outside of the Middle East, an ongoing
discussion is whether RO processes will eventually fully replace the
thermal alternative.
IDE Technologies is in the rare position of providing both processes
and, as a result, is well placed to answer such as question. For SWRO,
it has references at Hadera (127 million m3/year) and Ashkelon (118
million m3/year) in Israel, as well as Larnaca in Cyprus (21.5 million m3/

year) and Sorek to be completed by the end of 2013. Thermal plants
are also located in India, Spain, Italy and Turkmenistan.
Contrary to the belief that the desalination future is membrane
shaped, Felber strongly believes in thermal and reveals how the com-
pany is seeing it from an investment point of view.
“Firstly, people have been talking about thermal desalination dis-
appearing for many years and it hasn’t yet,” says the CEO. “While
it’s diminishing all the time, there is still a place for thermal solutions.
I would say there’s a place for hybrid solutions that combine the ad-
vantage of both technologies. I wouldn’t say that robustness is the
only advantage you can get from thermal, as RO is getting more and
more robust and it’s just a standard of operation that would allow you
to work well or not.”
He says that it is with the pre-treatment of waters to prepare them
for membrane fltration where thermal will continue to have its ad-
vantage.
“There will still be a place for thermal because frstly there’s prog-
ress in thermal all the time and secondly because some waters will
always be better to treat or at least partially treat, with a thermal pro-
cess because of the cost of preparing them for the RO. As this can
be very complex and intense in order for the water to eventually meet
the membranes – it’s sometimes easier to treat with thermal.”
Interestingly, Felber says IDE Technologies has invested more into
its R&D division for thermal than RO desalination over the years. This
is pre-empting business opportunities in the oil sands and oil and gas
industry. While he could not reveal precise details, he says the frm
has fnished designing, piloting and testing a new thermal system
especially for this market.
GAZA’S DESALINATION PLANSThere’s one topic left to pose to the CEO and per-
haps the most controversial: Gaza’s desalination
plans. As WWi wrote in its February-March issue,
the proposed 55 million m3/year desalination plant
is urgently needed. Palestine is expected to have a
60% increase in water demand by 2020.
An exhausted coastal aquifer is not keeping
pace with a growing population requiring three
times the amount of water it generates. Requiring
$455 million, questions have been raised on how
the rest of the fnance will be raised (The Islamic
Development Bank has signalled half of this cost)
and how the facility will be safeguarded, being lo-
cated in a politically volatile location.
As an Israeli citizen, Felber believes this project is a
must and requires his country’s assistance.
“First of all it’s very important that such a project
will be built specifcally in Gaza,” he says. “Although
on pure economic basis it would be cheaper, more
effcient and more sustainable and more reliable to
build the project on the Israeli coast and send the
water to Gaza and also the West Bank that doesn’t
have a sea at all. Ashkelon is 10km away from the
Gaza strip so there’s no way they can build within
reasonable time a plant that is effcient and reliable
as Ashkelon and ready to produce water within
reasonable time from a plant.”
The CEO goes onto say: “Separating the po-
litical tension and the water issue in my eyes, and
I’m saying this as a citizen, is very important. When
you’re talking about water you are talking about air. It’s an absolute
necessity so shouldn’t be part of the political game.”
Discussing challenges, he questions that if the desalination plant
is built, who will control the water supply through the opening and

CONCLUDING REMARKSFor a CEO with so much going on, Felber, as those who have met
him will agree, seems relatively relaxed, poised and brings a young,
fresh approach to water management. Yet winning the fagship
Carlsbad project as technology supplier will go down in IDE Tech-
nologies’ and Israel’s history.
It’s worth noting that as an Israeli frm, it is essentially “locked out”
out of the Middle East market – one of the largest for desalination.
The CEO describes this as “one of the prices of not wars but non-
peace”. However, although having exhausted its home market, the
company has over 75% of its business coming from overseas.
With other Israeli companies - Amiad Filtration and TaKaDu – also
making international headlines, it seems the Israeli nation certainly
has the secret formula for raising water companies that are here to
stay. WWi

Increasing effciency in water management is not a far fung, futuris-
tic dream. Utilities are implementing smart meters and entire smart
water networks. These products, solutions and
systems enable utilities to remotely and continu-
ously monitor and diagnose problems, prioritize
and manage maintenance issues and use data to
optimize all aspects of the water distribution network.
Smart water networks enable improvements in
system performance, such as leakage and pressure
management, network operations and water
quality monitoring. These improvements, cou-
pled with informed decision making about the
As part of the WWi series in which we pose a question to water and wastewater manufac-
turers, next up is smart meters. With advanced software and metering solutions available to
utilities, what should they be looking for when upgrading they water systems?
There is no doubt that effcient
water management is becoming
a signifcant priority for water utili-
ties and governments across the
globe. This is evident in the fnd-
ing that 93% of utilities are increasing invest-
ment in their water infrastructure to meet sup-
ply challenges, according to research from
the Economist Intelligence Unit and Oracle.
Great news considering the same study also
found that almost 40% of water utilities believe demand for water will
outstrip supply by 2030.
Smart water meters can play a critical role in addressing demand for
water, which is being driven by growing populations, developing econo-
mies, changing climate patterns and rapid urbanisation. Devices have the
ability to identify and resolve ineffciencies in water use through enabling
utilities to analyse water fows in near-real time, which can help conserve
supplies by providing customers with the right tools to monitor usage
and detect leaks.
For example, consumers who see evidence of excess consumption
by comparing area averages will be more motivated to seek advice for
conservation techniques. Furthermore, smart meters allow water utilities
to analyse and correlate data from various sources, including acoustic,
and pressure, which in turn provides the ability to identify pattern changes
in water usage and minimal fows.
A great example of the profound impact smart water meters can have
on water management can be taken from Veolia’s m2o city project, which
was launched in 2011. The initiative, a joint venture between Veolia and
Orange, specialises in remote environmental data and water meter read-
ing services, and enables the gathering and management of data related
to water usage. The programme means companies and real estate man-
agers can keep a check on year-round usage across a number of prop-
erties in real-time, and ensures customers are invoiced for exact water
usage. Additionally, customers are automatically notifed of any abnormal
consumption.
However, unlike smart meters for energy, smart water meters are
not yet mandatory and while it’s encouraging to see utilities investing in
the devices they cannot satisfy demand for water on their own. Such
technologies help in maintain- ing and operating
the various components of the
water network, and are
equally important in
ensuring the compli-
ance, availability and
performance of all the
infrastructure’s assets.
We all probably would
agree that smart water meters
are crucial to the future of water management. Yet water utilities must
remember the device is just one component of an effective system.
By building a comprehensive network featuring smart water meters, with
supporting technologies, water utilities can be better equipped to com-
bat the growing demand for water and feel more confdent that a future
where water is readily available for all is possible.

allocation of capital expenditures, can stimulate dramatic savings driven
by real-time data that a smart water network provides.
Sensus’ global survey of water utilities found that one-third of utilities
report losing more than 40% of their clean water to leaks. Water utilities
are also faced with a dilemma when it comes to water metering and
measurement for large commercial customers.
While many commercial water meters are designed to withstand the
high fow requirements of commercial water customers, these same me-
ters are often incapable of measuring low fows and retaining accuracy
over time and continuous fow conditions.
Grocery store commercial customers, as an example, cannot be
charged for the low water fow set forth by produce misters. With revenue
as the main consideration for water utilities, it is imperative that commer-
cial meters boast low fow accuracy as well as genuine strength, ongoing
accuracy and compatibility.
Today’s intelligent technology enables low fow detection, enhanced
accuracy ranges and overall greater accuracy through Floating Ball Tech-
nology (FBT). This supports unprecedented reliability paired with an easily
removable measuring chamber, unique chamber seal, electronic register
and an AWWA compliant strainer.
When it comes to residential customers, today’s technology offers un-
paralleled low fow accuracy with high fow durability. Magnetic technol-
ogy allows for the capture of previously unmeasured low fow and drives
additional revenue for the utility. Today’s technology can increase returns
while maximizing operational effciency. This is just one beneft of a smart
water network.
One of the keys to optimising
utility system performance is
the ability to quickly analyse
an increasing amount of data
collected using smart meter-
ing technologies. The next generation tech-
nology, Advanced Metering Analytics (AMA),
integrates powerful software to automate re-
porting and diagnostics and drive proactive
management.
In addition to gathering and analyzing meter data, AMA automates the
frst action in the decision-making process by alerting appropriate utility
personnel to issues via email, text, or the system’s dashboard. Beyond
the expected effciencies of automated data collection, such as reduced
meter reading time, AMA provides additional benefts in customer ser-
vice, operations and asset management, resource management, water
and energy conservation, and government compliance.
In the area of customer service, AMA enables utilities to provide more
detailed consumption information − from hourly to annual periods − quickly
and easily. Usage information can be shared with water consumers via
email, traditional mail, phone, or a consumer web portal, providing trans-
parency that decreases customer calls and billing inquiries as well as theft.
Through an online dashboard view of the network infrastructure and
endpoints, utilities can monitor their operations without running reports.
Dashboards can be customised and assigned for different user roles.
Plus, maintenance tasks can be integrated along with local weather fore-
casts to help with scheduling outdoor tasks.
Managing resources becomes more effcient with AMA, too. Proactive
notifcations can report continuous use or leaks, cut wire, reverse fow,
encoder error, water main leaks, and removal from the service line. Hourly
data also can be analysed to indicate meters that are under registering
and may be in need of repair or replacement.
When it comes to water and energy conservation, AMA provides sig-
nifcant effciencies. By helping to identify leaks and other issues quicker
– whether at the endpoint or distribution level – it enables utilities to de-
crease water and revenue losses. In communities with conservation pro-
grams, AMA can play a role in ensuring restrictions are being followed.
Restriction profles can be applied to selected accounts that are then
monitored using hourly data, and an alert is triggered if the restriction is
not followed.
Streamlining government compliance tasks is yet another beneft of
AMA for utilities. Users can easily confgure and email reports through the
system. By making real use of hourly interval data and delivering proac-
tive, meaningful information to utilities, advances in smart metering tech-
nologies such as AMA will help utilities effciently monitor and manage
their valuable resources now and into the future.
Advanced metering analytics
John Fillinger, director of utility marketing, Badger Meter
Company developments The latest releases of Badger Meter’s analytics software includes ReadCenter
AnalyticsPro and ReadCenter Analytics+, make optimal use of hourly meter-
ing data to facilitate intelligent, information-driven decisions. When coupled
with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) hardware, ReadCenter Analyt-

In four simple steps, proactive analytics can be set up with the software, auto-
mating data analysis so it is no longer necessary to run reports. The system
also can be configured to alert appropriate personnel of specific conditions
via email, SMS, or the system dashboard. An enhanced ReadCenter Analyt-
icsPro dashboard provides utilities with an immediate system overview. At a
glance, utility personnel can see potential issues such as leaks, tampering,
no usage, reverse flow and endpoints that are reaching the final days of use-
ful life. Fixed Network Monitoring provides a summary of how fixed network
data collectors and endpoints are operating.
Both ReadCenter Analytics+ and ReadCenter AnalyticsPro offer additional advan-
tages to boost utility performance in customer service, water and energy con-
servation, operations and revenue management, and government compliance.

Currently the majority of Hong Kong’s water (over 70%) comes from
the Dongjiang river basin in Southern China. The rest comes from
local catchments. An agreement is in place for the Dongjiang water
supply but the river fows through Guangdong and industrial demand
for this water is high in China.
HONG KONG WATER DEMAND
In 2012, the total water demand was 1,200 million cubic meters. About 23% of
water supply is seawater which is used for toilet fushing. Another 20% is surface
rainwater collected from the local water gathering grounds and the remaining is the
imported Dongjiang (DJ) water under the DJ Water Supply Agreement.
“Under the current agreement, water imported from Dongjiang is guaranteed to
conform to the national standard for Type II waters,” says Arlene Goode, associate
for energy, resources & industry at Arup in Hong Kong. “Nevertheless, in order to
diversify the TWM [Total Water Management] strategy and improvement of HK’s
own water resources is being implemented. Measures have been taken to ensure
the quality of raw water supplied to HK remains at an acceptable level, including
relocation of the raw water intake further upstream.”
Reliant upon China’s Dongjiang river basin for the bulk
of its water supply, Hong Kong is making plans for a new
desalination plant after decommissioning its thermal site
over 30 years ago. With predicted costs of $12/m3 how-
ever, questions have been asked. Tom Freyberg looks
into the desalination development, as well as progress of
one of the world’s largest sludge treatment projects.

Hong Kong has a relatively high domestic consumption per capita
when compared to other developed cities. The cost of water to end us-
ers is low – in fact one of the lowest in the world, providing little incentive
for end users to reduce consumption.
It was in 2008 that the Water Supplies Department (WSD) imple-
mented its Total Water Management Strategy. This sets out initiatives to
reduce and control demand and to develop options for improving water
resources.
David Wong, senior engineer at the WSD tells WWi: “To better pre-
pare Hong Kong for uncertainties such as extreme climate changes and
low rainfall and being one of the responsible partners to other economic
zones in the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong should investigate and explore

alternative water resources in order to mitigate diffculties encoun-
tered by our neighbours in Guangdong Province when they face
severe droughts, bearing in mind that Hong Kong would also en-
counter drought at the same moment.”
DESALINATION PLANS – SAYING GOODBYE TO THERMALIncluded in these plans from the Hong Kong government is a 90 mil-
lion m3/year desalination plant.
The government plans to build a desalination plant in Tseung
Kwan O, which is expected to have a unit cost of $12/m3. Hong
Kong’s planned Tseung Kwan O project will be the frst desalination
facility since the Lok On Pai site, constructed 40 years ago but de-
commissioned in 1982.
“Hong Kong’s previous desalination plant (Lok On Pai) construct-
ed about 40 years ago had adopted the desalination technology of
Multi- Stage Flash process which was a high energy consumption
process,” David Wong, senior engineer at the Water Supplies De-
partment (WSD) tells WWi. “It was decommissioned in 1982 due to
its high production cost.”
In 2005 Hong Kong’s WSD conducted a successful pilot study
on reverse osmosis (RO) desalination at Tuen Mun, followed by a
second study at Ap Lei Chau. Wong says this “confrmed the techni-
cal feasibility of desalination using reverse osmosis under local con-
ditions to produce potable water complying with WHO guidelines”.
Completed in 2007, pilot results suggested that the price of de-
salination in Hong Kong could be between $7.8/m3 to $8.4/m3. The
difference in price however between the cheaper pilot price and the
predicted $12/m3 has caused a stir in the city. The Hon. Claudia Mo,
member of the Legislative Council, has questioned why the price has
risen.
In response, Paul Chan, secretary for development of Hong
Kong, told the Legislative Council: “Seawater desalination using re-
verse osmosis technology is now an energy intensive process.”
He said: “The current estimated cost of seawater desalination of
$12/m3 is derived by adjusting the average of the above prices in 2006
(i.e. $8.2) upward by 18% [Note: This is based on the changes to the
Consumer Price Index (A) in 2006-2012] to account for the infation
from 2006 to 2012, and add the distribution and customer services
cost, which have not been calculated in the 2006 cost estimate.”
However, Chan added that with the “improvements in related
technology”, that there could be room for a “downward adjustment
in the energy consumption in the desalination process”.
The International Desalination Association (IDA) has been quoted
as saying that the unit cost for producing potable water by seawa-
ter desalination using RO technology varied by country and region,
ranging from $9.4 to $22 per m3.
IMPROVING SUPPLIES According to the WSD, the initial desalination plant will be able to
produce 50 million m3/year and will eventually be expanded to 90
million m3/year. Together with collected rainwater and 820 m3 of
water from the Dongjiang river basin, this is expected to help Hong
Kong meet its potable water demand by 2030.
Wong adds: “As a coastal and well-developed city with scare
fresh water resources, Hong Kong has unlimited supply of seawa-
ter from the ocean that is not affected by climate changes. Seawa-
ter desalination is naturally one of the water supply management
measures which could offer a practicable solution to cope with the
adverse effect of extreme climate change. We have estimated that
with the current DJ water supply arrangement and the proposed
Tseung Kwan O desalination plant, we should be able to ensure
water supply reliability up to around 2030 even under extreme cli-
mate change condition.”
Wong believes that Hong Kong will not only become reliant upon
water from China and the new desalination plant in the future either.
“We anticipate that fushing seawater, surface rainwater collected
from local water gathering grounds, imported DJ water and potable
water produced by seawater desalination will be our major sources
of water supply in the future,” he says.
Goode adds: “As part of the TWM strategy, studies have taken
place to identify ways of strengthening resources to improve HK’s
resilience. This includes protecting existing resources by improving
collection of surface water run-off, and protecting existing gathering
grounds from development. There are also plans to reclaim water for
non-potable use and, of course, the potential use of desalination as
a treatment process.”
WSD says the timetable for the facility will include: 2012-2014 –
undertake planning and investigative study of Tseung Kwan O desali-
nation plant and between 2015-2017 – invite tender for construction
and seek funds from the Legislative Council. The date earmarked for
construction is between 2018-2020.
The secretary for development concluded that alternative sources
such as reclaimed water will be reviewed and another desalination
plant could be developed “as necessary when the technology is
proven”.
SUPER SLUDGE – A NEW WAVE OF CAPACITY As well as boosting drinking water supplies, Hong Kong’s waste-
water treatment is not being left untouched. Each day around 800
HATS Stage 1 currently handles 75% of wastewater from both sides of
the Victoria Harbour. The works under HATS Stage 2A will handle the
remaining 25%
Following the upgrade, pollutant levels will also be further reduced. In

tonnes of sludge is produced by Hong Kong’s 11 sewage treatment
plants, with much of it dumped in landflls.
As a result, the 2000 tonnes/day sewage sludge treatment plant is
due to be commissioned early next year that will produce over 20MW
of electricity. Procured under a design-build-operate (DBO) contract,
design consultants Arup says the $660 million project will be the larg-
est “sewage sludge incinerator in the world”.
The idea is for the facility to be self-sustaining: heat generated in
the incinerators will be recovered for power generation. Surplus power
will be exported to the regional electricity grid. Also, rainwater will be
collected for non-potable use and wastewater will be treated and re-
used onsite.
Operation of the plant, under a 15-
year contract, will be jointly undertaken
by Veolia Water and Veolia Environmen-
tal Services, and will generate average
consolidated annual revenue of 20 mil-
lion euros. The wavy shape of the build-
ing is inspired by the sea infront and the
architectural design was provided by
French architects, Vasconi.
The Harbour Area Treatment
Scheme (HATS) Stage 2A Upgrad-
ing Works is another multi-disciplinary
infrastructure project worth HK$15 bil-
lion to improve Victoria Harbour’s water
quality. The project will provide addi-
tional facilities to divert wastewater from
Victoria Harbour to Stonecutters Island
Sewage Treatment Works (SCISTW)
for “chemically-enhanced primary treat-
ment and disinfection”.
Capacity of the SCISTW will be in-
creased and a new pumping station
will contain eight 2.5 MW centrifugal
pumps, each rated at 4 m3/s.
The pollutant levels will also be fur-
ther reduced. In particular, sewage
pathogens (E.coli) will be reduced by
90% in the harbour environment after
disinfection facilities are in place. Toxic
ammonia will be further reduced by
an average of 10%, and nutrients in
terms of total inorganic nitrogen and
phosphorus (which in rich supply can
promote excessive algal growth) by a
further 5% and 8%, respectively. The
dissolved oxygen level is also expected
to further increase by 5%.
Hong Kong’s Drainage Services
Department says “all statutory proce-
dures, including the approval of Envi-
ronmental Impact Assessment” have
been completed. It is expected that
the whole of Stage 2A will be commis-
sioned by 2014-2015.
While Hong Kong has been largely
reliant upon China for its water resourc-
es in the past, plans are in place to
make it more water independent. The
new Tseung Kwan O desalination plant can take lessons from Asian
water hub Singapore’s experience when it comes to using the latest
technologies in desalinating water.
Furthermore, once complete the HATS and sludge incinerator de-
velopments will give Hong Kong modern, cutting edge wastewater
treatment with a design that’s futureproof. WWi

Modular Desalination: Small Packages, Big Energy Gains?
Research from the International Desalination Association
(IDA) has forecast the market value for containerized
desalination plants in 2013 to be US$830 million, with
an annual growth rate of 15%.
The benefts of containerized systems are clear
compared to large scale, fxed infrastructure: they are designed to
provide a method of producing low cost drinking water, quickly and
effciently. Large plants, in comparison, can take longer in planning,
construction and require considerable upfront investment costs.
The phrase of the “tourist dollar” has been used in connection
with many industries – restaurants, hotels, famous landmarks – and
is actually the lifeblood of many of these businesses. Yet, commonly
unnoticed is the strain the infux of tourists can put on a town, city or
country’s water sector. KSB believes this is where there lies a huge
opportunity here for containerized fltration.
“The global market for containerized desalination plants is frag-
mented and obtaining accurate data is diffcult”, comments Wojciech
Golembiewski, project manager Salino, KSB. “Taking the tourism
industry as an example, there are many holiday resorts around the
world where fresh water has to be constantly available but the costs
of building and operating large desalination plants are prohibitive.
With containerized desalination plant, hotels, resorts and manufac-
turing sites can be independent of regional water supply companies
and have total control over their requirements and costs.”
As a result, the pump and valve manufacturer has developed a
compact high pressure pump unit for Reverse Osmosis (RO) sea-
water desalination. Called the SALINO Pressure Center, it has been
developed for RO systems with the capacity to produce of up to
1000 m³/day of permeate.
The unit operates by receiving pre-treated
seawater via a feed pump with the salt concen-
tration typically being in the region of 38,000
ppm. The seawater enters the pressure center
at 2.5 bar and is raised to 70 bar and trans-
ferred into the RO membrane where the brine is
separated from the water to produce permeate.
The resulting high pressure brine produced
in the membrane is returned to the pressure
center where its mechanical energy is recov-
ered, contributing to raising the pressure of the
incoming pre-treated seawater.
The Pressure Center is a hydraulic system
that is designed to provide pressure boosting
and energy recovery. The big question is how?
KSM claims it is down to combining all the
elements in a single unit and reducing the num-
ber of components, thereby reducing the com-
plexity of pipework and installation costs.
By removing the need for a separate booster
pump and motor, it is claimed, the number of
components associated with other types of
The growing demand for smaller desalination systems has led to a number of companies
developing containerized systems. KSB claims its entry to the market can achieve up to
75% energy saving and does not require two electric motors to drive booster and high
pressure pumps. WWi takes a look at the technology.
“In tests the new compact unit desalinated one cubic meter of
seawater with a salt content of 35,000 ppm at a power input of
approximately two kilowatts per hour”

systems is reduced and energy savings of
up to 75% are made compared to systems
that do not use an integral energy recovery
device. Because there is no fuid exchange
between the brine and the feed water, ener-
gy-consuming mixing is avoided, according
to the manufacturer.
So here’s how it works. The system com-
bines the four elements required in the RO
process for seawater desalination: a high
pressure pump, an electric drive, together
with a booster pump and an energy recov-
ery device.
The container solution employs a single
lubricant-free axial piston pump and single
axial piston motor, the latter serving as an inte-
grated energy recovery device. “As a result, three of the elements are
fulflled by one and the same unit: creating high pressure, compen-
sating pressure losses and recovering energy,” the company says.
The entire system runs on a single electric motor and frequency
inverter and the electric drive has a rating of 29 kW, not requiring a
separate booster pump.
What about fuctuating salt contents in various seawaters? KSM
says they can be processed by a response through the integrated
control system. In tests the unit desalinated one cubic meter of sea-
water with a salt content of 35,000 ppm at a power input of approxi-
mately two kilowatts per hour.
According to the company, extensive development and feld tests
have been underway at various Middle Eastern sites since the start of
2013, with the frst units operating close to the Red Sea.
With IDE Technologies having launched its modular PROGREEN
desalination solution back in 2011, and claiming success (see leader
focus on page 10), many water frms are turning their hands to a
small solution for potentially a big market. WWi

For thousands of
years, people have
used the sun’s heat
to desalinate water
- largely through the
use of relatively simple evapo-
rative processes. So called
‘direct’ solar distillation meth-
ods have a long history, with
evidence that they were used
by ancient Greek mariners and
Persian alchemists. Basic solar
stills are still used in many small
desalination and distillation
plants. However, while useful at
a very small scale, such meth-
ods are of limited use in modern
agricultural, industrial and urban
environments.
In recent years, an increas-
ing amount of attention has
been paid to ‘indirect’ solar de-
salination using modern solar
photovoltaic technology along-
side methods such as reverse
osmosis (RO) and Multiple Ef-
fect Distillation (MED), which
have the potential to operate at
a much larger scale.
According to Dr. Corrado
Sommariva, managing direc-
tor of ILF Consulting Engineers
Middle East and president of
the International Desalination
Association (IDA), a ‘large spec-
trum’ of technologies could be
classifed as “solar powered
desalination” - mainly because
most traditional state of the art desalination technologies could in
theory be coupled with solar powered energy sources.
In the past, some initial research efforts have focused on the vi-
ability of solar-thermal powered desalination plants, as well on how
to combine sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) processes with so-
lar photovoltaic technology. However, Sommariva argues that solar
powered approaches of this type are ‘generally diffcult’ to manage
alongside traditional desalination technologies due to their ‘very large
energy footprint.’
“This is the reason why there is a new interest towards new tech-
nologies that would be able to ensure a lower energy footprint, as
this would also facilitate matching with renewable energy sources,”
he says. In this respect, Sommariva believes that a few technologies
are ‘particularly interesting,’ including Membrane Distillation and Low
Temperature Distillation, which he says offer ‘great potential for cou-
pling with either solar panels or solar ponds.’
Solar Powered Water Desalination Heats Up in ChileSolar powered water desalination has the potential to dramatically increase access to
fresh water in many arid locations. As a solar powered desalination plant opens in Chile -
what are the challenges faced in scaling this technology up to full commercial operation?
And what potential exists globally for the technology? Andrew Williams investigates.

structed from a large array of mirror facets, which are attached to a sun tracking system.

“Multiple Effect Distillation (MED) plants have already been cou-
pled with solar ponds,” he says. “For SWRO or membrane based
technologies, the matching with photovoltaic becomes interesting
when the energy footprint goes below the traditional state of the art
values and when there is a system that is capable of power import
[and] export during the day-night period, as well as during the peak
and off peak periods, so that the overall energy balance to the grid
remains neutral,” he says.
DESERT PROJECTS Such potential is now beginning to come to fruition. In an effort to
use the country’s sizeable solar energy resource to assist the local
agricultural community, membrane-based technologies of the type
mentioned by Sommariva have recently been employed in Chile. The
demonstration facility, established in mid-March at the Padre Fran-
cisco Napolitano agricultural school in the Lluta Valley, uses mem-
brane separation technology to remove salt from water and is wholly
powered by an array of solar photovoltaic panels.
The project was established by the Chilean government-support-
ed Fundación Chile, via its Climate Change Fund, and backed by
Chile’s national Innovation Fund for Competitiveness (FIC).
For many years, farmers in the region, located in the arid Arica y
Parinacota Region of the country, have found it diffcult to manage
crop irrigation - largely because access to water is very low, with
any water that is available often being too brackish for agricultural
purposes.
According to the project manager, Carolina Cuevas Gutierrez
of Fundación Chile, although the plant is currently in an evaluation
phase it is already clear that the water generated from the plant has a
decreased salinity and boron content. She is confdent will enable “an
increase in quality and diversity of crops in the region”.
In a press statement, Fundación Chile said that the plant is “simple
in its construction and operation” and costs only US$210,000 (CLP
100 million) to build.
Over the coming months the plant’s operations will be closely
monitored. A market study and business model will be created - with
the ultimate aim being to commercialise the technology for use at
other locations across northern Chile.
“The beneft lies not only in the new water technology, but also
the low energy consumption,” Gutierrez. “As we know, energy repre-
sents the biggest cost in any technology. Using today’s solar technol-
ogy, we can produce excellent quality water, and the next step is to
apply this to further agricultural production.”
Prof. André Bernard, head of the Institute for Micro- and Nano-
technology (MNT) at the Interstate University of Applied Sciences Bu-
chs (NTB) in Switzerland, adds: “This is good news. Clean drinking
water is a very precious good – and all efforts to produce it where
needed is key to a self-supporting micro-economy.”
Elsewhere, an IDA and ILF-led energy task force is also supporting
a MASDAR initiative, which aims to install up to fve pilot solar-pow-
ered desalination plants in the Emirates of Abu Dhabi. The plan is for
these facilities to use the type of new desalination technologies that
Sommariva describes as having a low energy footprint, and which he
is confdent can therefore ‘be easily matched with renewable energy
sources.’
“Among various renewable sources, we are contemplating mainly
solar and geothermal. Recently a MED plant driven by an enhanced
solar pond has been commissioned in Fujairah. Saudi Arabia has
[also] launched a massive program for renewable driven desalination
in the Al Khafji area,” he says. “In general there are very interesting
movements that hopefully will drive the new generation of low energy
desalination plant[s],” he adds.

IBM RESEARCH
In another develop-
ment, IBM Research is
currently heading up a
research project inves-
tigating the use of heat
from a concentrated
photovoltaic (CPV) sys-
tem to drive a mem-
brane distillation (MD)
desalination process.
The prototype High
Concentration Photo-
Voltaic Thermal (HCPVT)
system uses a large
parabolic dish, con-
structed from a large
array of mirror facets, which are attached to a sun tracking system.
This tracking system positions the dish at the optimum angle to cap-
ture solar radiation, which then refects off the mirrors onto several
microchannel-liquid cooled receivers with triple junction photovol-
taic chips. To capture the medium grade heat IBM scientists and
engineers have made use of technology initially developed for water-
cooled high performance computers. Here water is used to absorb
heat from the processor chips, which is then used to provide space
heating for IBM facilities.
In the HCPVT system, instead of heating a building, the 90° Cel-
sius water will be used to heat salty water that is passed through a
porous membrane distillation system where it is vaporized and desali-
nated. IBM estimates that such a system could provide 30-40 litres
of drinkable water per square meter of receiver area per day, while
still generating electricity with a more than 25% yield, or two kilowatt
hours per day.
According to Bruno Michel, manager - Advanced Thermal Pack-
aging at IBM Research, the reason for choosing a HCPVT system
is that it provides 80-90° C waste heat - a temperature level which
matches exactly ‘with the required temperature for an optimal yield of
an MD system.’
“Water evaporates at reduced pressure through the pores of a
membrane, like the well known GoreTex membrane, that allows
steam to pass but not water,” says Michel. “The steam then con-
denses on a condensation foil that transfers the heat to the next
In the IBM HCPVT system, instead of heating a building,
the produced 90o Celsius water will be used to heat salty
water that is passed through a porous membrane distillation
system where it is vaporized and desalinated.

process,” he adds.
IBM’s partners, Airlight Energy, will develop this part of the system us-
ing low cost concrete and simple pressurized metalized plastic foils - with
ETH Zurich assuming responsibility for the development of the solar con-
centrating optics. Under the auspices of the project, prototype HCPVT
systems will be built in Zurich, Biasca and Rueschlikon over the next 36
months.
“The water desalination is already being prototyped here at the lab in
Rueschlikon using a small photovoltaic dish we have on the roof,” says
Michel. Meanwhile, Bernard is keen to stress that, in contrast to the Chil-
ean Solar Power Desalination Plant - which converts sunlight into electri-
cal power that is used for the desalination process - the HCPVT project
uses excess heat energy to desalinate water.
“The IBM-Airlight HCPVT-system will, however, employ larger area
solar collectors and concentrators that are less suitable for small-scale
plants that ft into a ‘private garden,’” he says.
THE SCALE UP CHALLENGE
Although projects of the type outlined here show a great deal of promise,
a number of hurdles must still be overcome before the various types of
solar powered desalination technology can reach large-scale commer-
cialisation. For Sommariva, the main problem encountered so far relates
to “bridging the gap between research and development and commer-

cialisation of these concepts”. In his view, the main challenge is that
these concepts need time and operational feedback before they will
be able to compete with state of the art technology “in terms of ro-
bustness, reliability and maintainability”.
“Ultimately the bankability of these concepts becomes problemat-
ic. An important step ahead is [to undertake] a continuous and rigor-
ous piloting program which is aimed at commercialisation,” he says.
However, to ensure that these concepts are ‘induced adequately’
in the market, Sommariva also argues that the frst attempts at com-
mercialisation need to be made within an ‘initially restricted market’
where renewable desalination projects of this type ‘can compete in a
restricted arena without being forced to compete with the large IWP-
IWPP projects involving traditional technologies.’
“In this way, the premises for technology development and indus-
trial implementation based on purely commercial criteria can be cre-
ated,” he says.
Michel adds that the main challenges for technologies of the type
developed in the HCPVT project are maturization and cost - and he
stresses that the technology is new and “needs to catch up with
established technologies”.
“Despite the fast track development we have to pay attention to
select low-cost components,” he says. “The selected technologies,
micro-channel cooled multichip receivers and infated optics with
injection moulded concrete elements are our winning bets to over-
come the challenges,” he says.
Meanwhile, Nicolas Zäch, project leader for the HCPVT System
project at NTB, believes that an important factor in the ongoing
commercial viability of plants such as those established in Chile is
the availability of cost-effcient solar cells, along with smart low-cost
tracking systems. “Another aspect is an energy-conservative desali-
nation process that can be driven using the solar power. Knowing the
energy needed for the desired desalination output helps to confgure
the solar cells correctly and fnding the appropriate PV technology,”
he says.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Looking ahead, Sommariva hopes that indirect solar powered desali-
nation will become increasingly viable “all over the world”. However,
he points out that in locations such as the Middle East energy costs
are still often ‘unrealistic’ - a situation which he argues ‘clearly does
not help in driving desalination towards effciency or towards renew-
able solutions.’
“This will change in the future as the cost of water will be more
and more dependent on the cost of energy,” he says. Michel also
envisions the HCPVT system providing sustainable energy and po-
table water to locations around the world, including southern Europe,
Africa, the Arabian peninsula, the south-western part of the United
States, South America and Australia. He points out that remote tour-
ism locations are also an ‘interesting market,’ particularly resorts on
small islands, such as the Maldives, Seychelles and Mauritius, “since
conventional systems require separate units, with consequent loss in
effciency and increased cost”.
In the long run, Bernard is confdent that the prospect of becoming
independent from global clean water suppliers ‘will help poorer regions to
develop and prosper quicker’ and at the same time ‘increase their knowl-
edge in technology.’
“This is important for a region and a country in general. But of course
solar-driven desalination is not the golden egg for all regions, since it de-
pendent on high insolation,” he says. WWi

Mexico City often makes the news because of its no-
torious air pollution. Yet in fact it is water that is the
source of more problems – and one that might not
necessarily be easy to spot.
If there’s one place in the world where residents
cannot afford to be wasting water then it’s surely Mexico City. Why?
Because its population has exploded from 1.75 million souls back in
1940 to over 21 million people today, thus conferring upon it the dubi-
ous honour of being the ffth largest metropolitan area in the world, a
megacity if ever there was one.
We are living, as a recent WWF report noted, in “an urbanising
world”. Not that leaks are the city’s only worries when it comes to
water issues - over-exploitation of aquifers has had a signifcant part
to play in subsidence which continues to increase the risk of cata-
strophic fooding. Plus Mexico’s City’s dependence on distant water
supplies has led, unsurprisingly, to stresses and strains with donor
basin communities.
EXPENSIVE TRANSFER
The Cutzamala transfer system is one of the largest in the world due
to the quantity (some 485 million m3/year) and altitude that the wa-
ter traverses to reach the sprawling Mexican metropolis. And it will
equally come as no surprise to know that ensuring an uninterrupted
water supply to the capital does not come cheaply – high energy
costs are directly linked to pumping water to over 1000 meters in
elevation and from over 150 kilometers away. All of which combines
Megacity Mexico: A Tale of Leaks and ShortagesWith Mexico City wasting as much water as some cities consume, leakage is a huge
problem across the sprawling urban metropolis. Why is the megacity suffering more than
others? What privatisation measures have been successful elsewhere that can be
implemented? Jeremy Josephs investigates.
Mexico City has over 1000km of main pipes and a secondary network of more than 12,000km. However ageing pipelines and leaks mean that 11
cubic meters of water are lost per second

to suggest that in a city where water is both costly and in short sup-
ply pouring some 40% of this precious resource down the plughole,
so to speak, is surely something close to both water science and
environmental insanity.
Mexico City actually wastes as much water as some of the world’s
largest cities use. The massive leaks are, in turn, an integral part of
a vicious cycle when it comes to drinking water quality. For when
the soil is permeated by sewage from leaking sewers, then it is clear
that leaky pipelines will become infltrated with contaminated water,
especially when pressure is low.
The Federal District’s water quality laboratory has also confrmed
that those neighbourhoods that experience more frequent interrup-
tions in service do indeed have poorer quality when compared to
areas which enjoy a constant supply. Hardly surprising, then, the pre-
vailing atmosphere in the city is one of a general distrust of tap water
quality. This has led to much of the population purchasing drinking
water. Mexico is now ranked as the third largest consumer of bottled
water in the world.
SINKING CITY
The pressures on the city’s water system have now become so acute
that its burgeoning population continues to extract water from its
aquifers as a rate that is more than twice as fast as they are replen-
ished. The results are there for all to see - the city is sinking on top of
the aquifer that supplies it, having fallen nearly 10 meters during the
course of the last century and continuing to drop by as much half a
meter per year in some areas. Needless to say this is not good for the
city’s already broken down network of leaking pipes where nearly 11
cubic meters of water are lost per second.
The city has over 1000 km of main pipes and a secondary net-
work of more than 12,000 km. When it comes to the issue of leaks,
however, the core issue is not at all diffcult to diagnose and detect.
Engineer Antonio Gutierrez Marcos, director of Water Supply,
Sewerage and Sanitation at the Water Agency Cuenca del Valle de
Mexico, says: “The basic problem is the age of the network – the net-
works are very old and obsolete. On top of this you have the problem
of differential subsidence in the Valley of Mexico, which frequently cre-

In other words, water leaks and shortages are not felt equally.”

ates breaks. The problem is compounded by the fact there is a lack
of resources when it comes to successfully managing the utility – you
might even say an atmosphere of lack and attention and neglect.
Nor are leaks the beginning and end of the story – we estimate that
there is a further 20% loss when it comes to bill errors and clandes-
tine connections. This in turn means that the city struggles to give
momentum to its projects to replace the old pipes.”
A chemist by training, Manuel Guerra heads up the Independent
Institute for Environmental Research in Mexico City and agrees: “The
main problem is that due to the subsidence of the ground - the sink-
ing of the city - the pipes break. Pipes with sewage water and pipes
with drinking water, so there’s a mixing of both. And then you can
and do have enormous health problems accompanying that - diar-
rhoea, a major issue with cholera - and so on.
“Of course you can’t blame the city’s inhabitants for preferring to
drink bottled water – but not everyone can afford it. It’s quite another
story across town, you know, where behind the walls of upper-class
suburbs you can see sprinklers drenching the grass with drinking
water. You see what I’m saying? You know two million people in
Mexico City have no running water. In other words, water leaks and
shortages are not felt equally.”
WATER LEAKAGE PROJECT
This is not to suggest, however, that the powers that be are unaware
of the fnancial and social costs generated by massive leaks. Back
in 2000 the Mexico City Council (via the Mexico City Water System)
initiated a major sectoring project in respect of the drinking
water network. The aim was improving its poor track re-
cord in respect of water leakage control and reducing
water losses in the water supply system.
The purpose of the project was to create sectors
and sub-sectors within the network by the instal-
lation of segmentation valves at one or two inlet
points for each sector. The hope was that this
would enable the identifcation and control
of losses in each sector.
Prior to the sectoring project the
drinking water network was divided into just fve large zones. But for
the purposes of the sectoring project the network was divided into
sectors based mainly on geographical/topographical features and
water consumption. The established size of the sectors was approxi-
mately 5,000 connections or 25,000 inhabitants. Sector boundaries
were defned by naturally occurring borders (rivers, ravines, parks and
so on), then railway lines, roads and political boundaries too. The vari-
ous inlet points of each sector were identifed with a view to measur-
ing fows more easily. Hydraulic control pressure valves were included
and installed within various sectors.
In the event Mexico City’s drinking water network was divided
in 336 sectors. Local offcials were rather pleased with the results -
pressure control thanks to the installation of pressure reducing valves
enabled a decrease in water losses from 35% to 23% of fow rate
supplied.
It demonstrated that a well defned sector can provide data and
useful information to quickly identify invisible leaks and establish pri-
ority sectors for leak detection. While not tackling the city’s underly-
ing problems (literally so in this instance) the network’s sectorization
project was nevertheless a preliminary but successful stage in leak
detection.
PRIVATISATION AS THE ANSWER?
Mexico City’s water supply system has already had a taste of the
private sector alike – from 1994 to 2011, to be precise. Initially the
Distrito Federal (city council) administration successfully employed
private actors to provide more extensive and effcient services while
retaining public control of infrastructure. Privatization in the Distrito
Federal was unique in its competitive service structure and the sup-
port provided to it by the city’s populist government.
The reality was that on the ground political manoeuvring stalled
progress in contract governance, network extension and regional coor-
dination, all of which combined to suggest the need for more robust ac-
countability structures linking municipal and national political outcomes
to household service delivery.
Environmentalists like Guerra are in fact the un-

“Because the people who

much as City Hall for water.

The Israeli

frm TaKaDu
is situated just
outside of Tel
Aviv. That’s
some 12,500
kilometers from Mexico City. But that hasn’t prevent-
ed its CEO, Amir Peleg (who also chairs SWAN – the
Smart Water Networks Forum) from proffering what
might be some very good advice.
“Smart water network technologies or, in other
words, the use of data-driven technologies can have
a role to play in helping improve the performance of
water utilities and reduce losses,” he says. “By us-
ing network data in a smart way, water utilities can
increase their visibility and have control over their
network…I am not saying that this is going to be
the magic formula for Mexico City – clearly there are
more complex factors at play. But I would be bet my
bottom shekel that it would help reduce their mas-
sive leakages right away.”
We have seen, then, that the massive leaks experi-
enced in Mexico City, and the jaw-dropping quantities
of water lost consequentially, are but the symptoms of
far more complex problems. And that unless and until
a sustainable solution is found to the mega-city’s prob-
lems – notably in terms of subsidence – even success-
ful short-term, stop-gap measures such as sectoring
can and will have only a very limited positive impact. A
wholesale review of the city’s approach to water man-
agement is required – and fast.
It is surely not without some irony that a couple
of years ago there was an amendment to Mexico’s
constitution which made access to potable water
a basic human right. Fine words which will almost
certainly mean very little to those languishing in
Mexico City’s huge slum of Ixtapalapa. And here’s another rather
fne illusion. In the more affuent city centre, which remains popular
with tourists, the four giant pillars of the Monument of the Revolution
rise over thirty meters above the ground. In front a fountain bubbles
away peacefully.
The suggestion is that all well with water in Mexico City. But it is
not. Many commentators are now wondering precisely how long it
will be before the less affuent citizens of Mexico City will speak their
mind. It might well be time, one suspects, to plug those leaks. WWi

institute IDEAM revealed, an average water yield of 286,398 m3/
km2/yr is available in the country. This is more three times Latin
American average water yield (95,466 m3/km2/yr). The recent
challenge for Colombia has been coping with the effects of heavy
rains and foods.
Furthermore, according to a technical report published in February
2013 by the Colombian Superintendence of Public Works, the sew-

structural problems.
As part of the report, a total of 333 out of 562 sewage treatment

2012. Nearly 90 of the plants were found to not be operating. Among
the problems found in the remaining plants, the Superintendence

Q. What were the major obstacles to building this project?
A: Considering that this was the first project of its kind built in Colom-
bia, the international bid process was very difficult. The project had
to have a minimal environmental impact on the local communities
and this aspect was a high priority. The financing of the project was
also a major challenge for our company. We obtained a loan from
the Bank for International Development (BID) for US$450 million.
Q: What are the major benefits for the community and the city of this
project?
A: The three main benefits are: The cleaning up of the river will improve
property values along the river and will allow for more urban and
scenic development of these properties. Cleaning up the river will
also impact health matters by reducing contamination to drinking
water for the homes and towns along the river downstream. Ad-
ditionally the decontamination of the river will eliminate noxious
odors and increase recreational development of the river and area
around the water treatment plant. One final benefit for the com-
munity will be the 1,200 jobs created by construction of the water
treatment plant.

Colombia’s EPM (Empresas Publicas de Medellin E.S.P.), known as EPM, is a utility with wide responsibilities. As well as power gen-eration, natural gas distribution, EPM is in charge of providing water and wastewater services for all ten municipalities in the Aburra Valley, where Medellín, the capital city of Antioquia, is located. The other cit-ies serviced by EPM are: Envigado, Itagüí, La Estrella, Bello, Caldas, Copacabana, Girardota, Barbosa and Sabaneta.
EPM’s wastewater network consists of 4,080 kilometers of pipes and includes sewage, drain-age and combined waters which covers an area of 200 Km² and serves 966,250 residents. The sewage infrastructure consists of 322 kilometers of collection pipe and 34 kilometers of connect-ing pipe that link the different municipalities of
the Aburra Valley. Infrastructure also includes the sewage treatment plant of San Fernando, which treats all the wastewaters from the southern por-tion of the Aburra Valley, with a treatment capac-ity of 1.8 m³/s.
MEDELLÍN RIVER CLEAN UPAs part of the second phase of development for the cleanup of the Medellín River, work has begun on the Bello Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Medellín, in call for a tender Aguas Nacionales EPM de Medellín a subsidiary of EPM.
This new WWTP, when completed, will handle the treatment of 95% of the wastewater from the cities of Medellín and Bello, thus helping to clean the waters of the Medellin River by achieving levels of 5.0 mg/l of dissolved oxygen.
Despite 11 bids being received, a multi-national winning consor-tium secured the bid. The consortium is made up of HMV Engineer-ing Ltd. and Pöyry Environment GmbH, the latter being acquired by Lahmeyer GKM Consult. Construction of the WWTP is being un-dertaken by the Spanish-Korean consortium Aguas de Aburrà, an

equal partnership between Ko-
rea’s Hyundai Engineering and
Spain’s ACCIONA Agua.
Financing for the project
comes in the form of a loan
for US$450 million provided
by the InterAmerican Bank of
Development (IBD) to EPM.
Expected treatment capacity
of the Bello WWTP will be 120 met-
ric tons a day of industrial, commerical
and residential organic waste. It will have
a design fow of 5 m3/second and will
process more than 75% of residential
wastewater, covering 95% of overall water discharged into the Medellin
River. The project includes the construction of 7.7 kilometers of intercep-
tor sewers of concrete pipes of diameters between 2.2 and 2.4 meters.
The water treatment plant itself is a secondary treatment facility with
activated sludge for treatment of primary and secondary sludge, dehy-
dration of digested sludge and an odor control system. The plant also
includes an energy recovery component, which will generate the electric-
ity required to operate the plant, making it entirely self suffcient in energy.
To stabilize the sludge, the Bello WWTP will use six anaerobic digest-
ers, which will maintain the sludge temperatures at 35°C, so that the aero-
bic bacteria will transform the contents of the sludge into methane, CO2
and water.
After the stabilization process, the sludge is stored in three storage
tanks where it will be digested. Methane produced will be used to gener-
ate electricity through six generators, which can operate on either meth-
ane or natural gas.
Energy produced in these six generators fuels the internal electrical
network of the treatment plant and provides 30% of the total electricity
utilized at the facility.
In order to recover the methane from the digesters and transfer it to
the gas storage tanks and feed the generators, a complete fltration and
compression system has been installed, which includes foam traps, ce-
ramic flters and activated carbon, removal of sulfur, drying plant and gas
compression system.

TUNNEL BORINGThe construction of the north interceptor duct is the responsibility of
the Mexican-Colombian consortium CICE, which is made up of ICA
(Ingenieros Civiles Asosiados, S.A.) Cotrisa (Construcciones y Tritura-
dos S.A.) of Mexico, and Estyma Estudios y Manejos S.A., of
Colombia. By March 2013, just over the 25% of the tunnel length
had been created by the the tunnel boring machine (TBM), drilling at
a depth between six and ten meters below ground level.
“Diana”, as the frst TBM has been christened, has been supplied
by German company Herrenknecht, one of three used for the proj-
ect, in the area known as “Moravia”.
It tunneled 417 meters underground during its frst run, until
emerging into the frst of 28 holes drilled along the route to the waste
water treatment of Bello. This frst length took one month. Another
27 tunnels will be required before reaching the water treatment plant,
each measuring between 400 and 750 meters each, which will re-
quire 17 months to tunnel and ending in the fnal tunnel measuring
7.7 kilometers which will enter the plant.
A total of 61,000 cubic meters of earth will be removed, 85% of it
using the traditional method, in other words: open excavation. One
of the major technical diffculties for the project was that the area in
which the tunnels are being drilled are densely populated, in addi-
tion to the complicated topography and geological conditions, and
include the railroad and subway lines as well as the major highway
for the western region.
Although wastewater infrastructure may well be lacking or not run-
ning up to full effciency in Colombia, the new Bello WWTP will hope-
fully transform the way private partnerships are viewed in the country
and clean up the Medellín River. While Acciona Agua’s contract may
be worth USD$347 million, a price cannot be put on the latter. WWi

Utility Management: Networks
Anglian Water is the largest water and wastewater
company in England by territory, supplying services to
4.3 million customers in a region stretching from the
Humber in the north to the Thames in the south, from
Northampton in the west across to the east coast.
The company also provides water services to the Hartlepool area as
Hartlepool Water. Anglian Water’s water supply network has an ex-
tension of nearly 23600 miles of pipelines, divided in approximately
1.700 District Metered Areas.
Schneider Electric is currently implementing the Integrated Leak-
age and Pressure Management System (ILPMS) for the UK Com-
pany Anglian Water Services. The key features of the ILPMS are leak-
age calculation, network performance analysis, leakage detection
management, repair monitoring, pressure management, business
intelligence and regulatory reporting.
The project includes the bi-directional integration of the ILPMS
with virtually all other corporate systems such as telemetry, different
ERP modules (asset management, work management, billing and
customer relation, and fnance), GIS, and hydraulic models.
This is a clear example of Smart Water Network implementation in
a very complex information technology environment. Such an ambi-
tious project is not motivated by poor leak management results: with
a leakage rate 30% below the UK industry average and a leakage
level of 5.26 m3/km/day, Anglian Water is a frontier performer in water
loss management.
The utility decided to replace the existing District Metering System
(DMS) that was becoming end of life and a series of spreadsheets/
databases which are currently used as the basis for leakage perfor-
mance reporting to better support the company’s massive effort in
this area: about 300 staff working every day to fnd and fx around
27,000 leaks every year and USD21 million spent targeting this work
during the last year.
The ILPMS project started in July 2012 and will fnish in Decem-
ber 2013. The expected benefts of the ILPMS are multiple. From a
broad perspective it will help Anglian Water to maintain the position
as leader on leakage control and water resource protection by reduc-
ing resource losses and operational costs, enhance customer service
and environmental stewardship and making regulatory compliance
easier. From a technology perspective these solutions will reduce the
cost of ownership due to the outsourced support and maintenance
throughout the life of the system and guarantee Anglian Water on
acquiring a constantly evolving product.
A SMART WATER NETWORK APPROACH
Smart Water Network solutions use data and systems integration
features to help utilities optimise costs, improve operations and make
better business decisions. They
give new life to existing invest-
ments in assets and technology
and contribute to the achieve-
ment of the company’s strate-
gies by using the large amount
of operational and business data
utilities are already generating.
These solutions decipher this
data and turn it into valuable in-
formation for decision support
throughout the different depart-
ments, allowing the utility to
identify effciency improvement
opportunities that will create op-
erational cost reductions, better
capital expenditure planning and
improved management and ser-
vice.
A well thought out Smart Wa-
ter Network approach can accel-
erate the implementation of the
utility’s overall strategy. In other
words, the Smart Water Network
is a concept that should be put
to use in the solution of real busi-
ness needs. Anglian Water Ser-
vices exemplifes how the use of
all this data and information should be used to help the company
achieve its ultimate goals.
This gathering of information aids in targeting preventive mainte-
nance, improved condition assessment policies, real time leak detec-
tion and even crisis management. Utilities can pinpoint exactly where
there is a problem in real-time, creating a customer service system
Integrated Leakage and Pressure Management SystemUtility Anglian Water was spending the equivalent of £13.4 million to fx 27,000 leaks each year.
Manuel Parra discusses how implementing an integrated leakage and pressure management
system has helped the water provider improve its overall service.
Anglian Water was reporting and
fxing up to 27,000 leaks per year

that is proactive and responsive. Now, utilities can inform customers
of the problem and have it fxed before it is reported.
In other words, they have information not only for reporting, but
for taking actions. This makes it easier for utilities to see where its
challenges lie, pinpointing a certain part, section or system of the
utility that is faulty. In turn, this also shows utilities where it needs to
invest or if a small maintenance job can solve problems that may be
affecting business. Linking this data is a direct return on investment,
allowing utilities to see where they are losing money and where its
largest gains take place. These “best practices” can then be dupli-
cated throughout the system.
SHARED DATA = SMARTER DECISIONS
Having data silos is like paying for premium cable TV and watching
only one channel. It is a waste of time and money. However, sharing
this data throughout the company generates the opposite effect. It
means that decisions no longer have to be made in one centralized
location of the utility, making for a more streamlined process in all
areas, including out in the feld.
This is due to data that can quickly be turned into valuable infor-
mation for decision making in all the areas of the company, alleviating
an entire part of the utility’s information sharing process that is normal
for everyday operations. Now operators, planners and managers can

anytime from anywhere without having to wait for
offine reports or information.
Real-time data also makes sense beyond the
traditional control room. For example, online model-
ing operational systems use this data to help utilities
to forecast the impact of a pollutant in the network,
thus shortening the times to react to such types of
events, or understand the effect that a repair has
on the whole network, minimizing the impact on the
customer’s side.
Another useful feature of real-time data is the
ability to maintain up to date information in the util-
ity, so when feld crews are deployed to perform
some work in, they have the latest data in their feld
devices, helping them fx the problem sooner, and
more accurately, creating operational effciency.
Water challenges vary from company to company, and strate-
gies will differ depending on these challenges, but many utilities have
already found that implementing smart IT solutions can help them
achieve their goals while maintaining the quality standards that their
customers deserve. WWi

Aeration
41www.wwinternational.com June/July | 2013
Acontinuous reliable regulated supply of quality air is a
critical requirement for the aeration diffuser systems
within municipal and industrial wastewater treatment
plants. This is in order to guarantee continuity of pro-
cess operations and clean, uncontaminated discharge
into the environment.
Yet despite the vital role that air supply represents in the treat-
ment process, many facilities use lobe blower technology that was
introduced in the late 19th century.
Since then, a range of screw technology ZS blowers have been
developed with the aim of providing a reliable low pressure, oil-free
positive displacement blower system.
In making a true wire-to-air performance comparison between the
old and new technologies it is necessary take into account not just
comparable shaft power ratings but all of the potential power losses
that can occur in a blower package − from motor and electrical sys-
tem to transmission, flters, and other design features that contribute
to pressure drops which are costly in energy terms.
For instance, a 50
mbar/0.7 psi pressure drop
may appear to be small but
when a blower is only pro-
viding a 500 mbar/7 psi dis-
charge pressure this adds
up to 10% of the power
consumption.
Lobe blower data is
commonly offered by giv-
ing the air intake fow vol-
ume and the shaft power
of the bare element where-
as low pressure screw
compressors are quoted
by listing the FAD (free air
delivered) at the unit outlet
and the power consump-
tion at the terminals of the
power supply.
The air fow path before
and after the blower ele-
ment includes air-inlet flter,
air-inlet silencer, air-outlet
silencer and the check
valve. The pressure drop
over these components
has to be added to the per-
formance data of the lobe
blower element. Such loss-
es, as well as those incurred
by electrical and mechanical transmission, are not always considered
in the data of lobe blowers but they are always taken into account in
the low-pressure screw compressor data.
Transmission losses, measured from the terminals of the power
supply to the shaft power of the blower element, consist of the losses
of the electric motor and the belt drive transmission losses from the
Wastewater Aeration: Low-pressure Screw Blowers Vs. Traditional Lobe Technology Air supply is a critical component for aeration processes within wastewater treatment.
Although traditional lobe blowers are common, advances in screw blowers are
showing how energy savings can be made for utilities. Rob Boughton looks at the
difference between the two and an application in Denmark.
UK utility Anglian Water selected a total of 22 ZS90 rotary screw blowers to supply air to aeration diffusers at four of its WWTPs

motor shaft to the element. These fgures vary generally as a function
of the blower size and the operating point but typical values, for a 110
kW small lobe type blower with an output of 1,000 m³/h operated at 0.7
bar(e) compared to a 75kW screw blower, are as follows:
Inlet flter pressure drop 20mbar
Outlet silencer pressure drop 15mbar
Check valve pressure drop 10mbar
Additional energy consumption 6%
Mechanical and electrical transmission losses 30kW
Belt losses 4%
Motor effciency 90%
Total transmission losses 14%

Screw blower installation in Skanderborg, Denmark
With a savings goal set at 25% for the Danish wastewater industry, optimizing all
parts of the operation, especially aeration, is of the highest importance. Up to
70% of the energy consumed by a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) consists
of low pressure aeration of the wastewater. This is why savings in this part of
the process is of paramount importance.
The wastewater treatment plant in Skanderborg, Denmark, recently replaced one
of its 75 kW lobe blowers with a new 55 kW Atlas Copco ZS screw blower and
were able to reduce their energy consumption by 31%.
“Skanderborg WWTP had problems with their aeration using lobe blowers so we
suggested that they should try the Atlas Copco ZS blowers”, says Flemming
Broksø, from Atlas Copco Compressor Technique Scandinavia.
A new 55 kW variable speed drive blower was delivered by Atlas Copco, operating
at 0.7 bar(e), to Skanderborg WWTP, replacing a 75 kW lobe blower in one of the
aeration process lines.
During August every year in Skanderborg the traditional Summer Festival takes
place. This is the time of the year when the work load is at its highest for Skan-
derborg WWTP and where the blowers operate on maximum capacity. Dur-
ing the festival, a test was carried out by Skanderborg WWTP comparing the
energy consumption of the two identical aeration process lines. Both lines
are equipped with two blowers each – one variable speed drive and one fixed
speed. The operations are set up so that the variable speed drive blowers func-
tion as the primary blowers and the fixed speed blowers come in when the de-
mand for low pressure air increases.
Line 1: 1 75 kW lobe blower, variable speed drive

Line 2: 1 Atlas Copco ZS55VSD-700 screw blower, variable speed drive
1 75/62 kW (dual speed) lobe blower, fixed speed
The result: Line 1: Total energy consumption: 19 989 kWh.
Line 2: Total energy consumption: 14 492 kWh
The figures show a total saving of energy for Line 2 –
including the Atlas Copco ZS screw blower – at 31 %.

Screw blowers also have
some degree of air fow
path and transmis-
sion losses, but
they are already tak-
en into account when
listing the system data,
measured at the power
supplies input and the com-
pressed air outlet.
To deliver a fow of 1600 m³/hr (942 cfm) at a pressure
of 0.8 bar(e) (11.6 psig), a tri-lobe blower would consume
61 kW (82 hp) on average whereas a comparable screw
blower demands only 43kW (58hp) for the same volume. In
fact, the SER (Specifc Energy Requirement) is on average
28% lower and at a 600 millibar 50% load this can increase
to as much as 34%.
It is clear that wastewater treatment plant operations and many
other industry low- pressure blower applications can beneft sub-
stantially from improved reliable performance and signifcant energ-
savings through modernising their wastewater aeration equipment.

Foz do Brazil’s Ete Flores municipal wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP) treats more than two million cubic metres
of wastewater annually. Based in the city of Rio Claro in
the state of São Paulo in Brazil, it operates a sludge acti-
vated process and the plant is based on mechanical sur-
face aerators. However the operator was facing a problem with high
energy costs due to high electricity consumption, according to Israeli
frm Mapal Green Energy.
“The leading challenge faced today in water and wastewater treat-
ment is the ability to save and create effcient energy consumption,
which is mandatory - as energy consumption is an essential compo-
nent in the O&M (Operational and Maintenance) expenditure of water
and wastewater treatment plants,” says Zeev Fisher, Mapal CEO.
BRAZIL’S RESTRICTION ON DOWNTIME
Regulations in Brazil prohibit discontinuation of the treatment pro-
cess, not even for the installation of a new system, or for the up-
grading of an existing one. Thus, WWTP operators who wanted
to upgrade their aeration systems would usually need to build two
reactors in order to stop the activity of the existing one. As a result,
Mapal’s foating fne-bubble aeration units were installed live in the
biological reactor of the WWTP. The pilot was done in cooperation
with Acquasys, Sao Paulo, acting as Mapal’s distributor in Brazil.
The units replaced one of the existing mechanical
aerators.
It must be noted that fne bubble aeration is
not a new technology – it has been operating since
1923. During recent years, due to new develop-
ments, diffusers have reached a high quality of
performance including the construction and mem-
brane materials.
The installed fne-bubble aeration system uses
modular foating units that are leveled from the wa-
ter surface instead of fxed to the concrete foor of
the reactor. The foating system is based on fne
bubble aeration, instead of mechanical surface
aerators.
MECHANICAL STABILITY TESTING
Tubular membrane diffusers are used on the bot-
tom of each unit, which were manufactured to
reach the lowest possible depth of the lagoon in
order to increase the oxygen transfer.
The system has independent units that can be
withdrawn with each one fed from its own discon-
necting valve, which sits on a manifold. Air fow
rates vary from 40 m3/hr up to 500 m3/hr per unit.
Goals of the pilot included to demonstrate the
energy savings when compared to the existing mechanical surface
aeration system, while keeping the same process performance in
terms of BOD (biological oxygen demand) reduction.
Also, the pilot set out to test the mechanical stability and the struc-
ture of the foating fne bubble aeration units. Another a requirement
was to remove nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and ammonia
by creating an anoxic zone at the front of the reactor near the inlet.
This is as well as recycling the sewage with a submersible pump
from the end of the reactor to the front, in order to create nitrifcation
and de-nitrifcation.
Results from the installed pilot system, according to the company,
showed that ETE – Flores achieved an energy saving of more than
50%. WWi Enquiry No. 106

steel control cabinet or on a mounting base. “In the design and planning
of the oxidator box we pay close attention to optimal cost effectiveness,”
Hartmut Schmalz explains. This means avoidance of over-dimensioning
and non-relevant functions for the specifc application.
Oxidator boxes used for oxygen are equipped only with oil- and grease-
free components that are suitable for the application. All pipework is also
oil- and grease-free.
Pipe couplings are used for the air inlet and outlet and cable glands are
used for the sealed electric lines to the MFC. This construction ensures
easy installation and trouble-free process connections.

2-Way AMI with Automated Leak Detection
Mueller Systems said soon utilities will have the ability to remotely detect
and monitor water distribution main leaks through its latest advanced me-
tering infrastructure (AMI) feature - Automated Leak Detection (ALD).
Set for commercial release in 2014, ALD integrates acoustic-based leak
detection technology from Echologics with the Mi.Net(R) Mueller infrastruc-
ture network, Mueller Systems’ fxed, two-way AMI network for utilities that
fully automates the meter reading-to-billing process and provides remote
access to real-time information, such as meter readings, alarm conditions
and historical usage data.
It is anticipate that ALD should enable utilities to accurately detect and lo-
cate distribution main leaks - from their offce - using laptops, smartphones
and other web-enabled devices. This capability can help utilities more intel-
ligently reduce non-revenue water while prioritizing and conducting repair
projects by detecting leaks without using feld crews, excavating potential
leak sites or resorting to other costly and time consuming tasks normally
associated with traditional leak detection methods.
The main component of ALD is Mi.Logger - a radio frequency transceiver
featuring Echologics’ sensors and algorithms housed in a cast-iron or high-
density plastic enclosure that replaces the pumper nozzle caps of wet and
dry barrel fre hydrants throughout a utility’s service area. The Mi.Logger re-
ceivers collect acoustic data from pipelines before generating and wirelessly
transmitting reports containing the data to the Mi.Net System’s host software
component - Mi.Host. Detected leaks, bursts, low fow and hydrant tamper-
ing can be viewed by utility workers online through the Mi.Host user interface,
which is integrated with ESRI GIS Mapping software.
Workers can view the sizes and locations of leaks to determine whether
or not immediate repairs need to be made, and they can compare collected
data to reports transmitted by other Mi.Loggers to rule out false leak alarms.

Floating aeration system to be installed in England
Utility Anglian Water, which provides water and wastewater services to
over six million customers, has awarded Israeli frm Mapal Green Energy an
aeration contract.
To begin with, Mapal’s foating aeration system will be installed in a mu-
nicipal WWTP (wastewater treatment plant) in Stanbridgeford, north of Lon-
don. This installation presents an opportunity for Mapal to upgrade many
WWTPs out of more than a 1,000 WWTP that Anglian Water operates.
Mapal claimed its foating fne-bubble aeration system can signifcantly
reduce energy consumption and operation and maintenance costs of in-
dustrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants. The technology saves
up to 70% of the energy cost of the wastewater treatment process, accord-
ing to the manufacturer.
Mapal said: “The use of this unique technology also prevents environ-
mental pollution by making it unnecessary to drain raw sewage into the en-
vironment during installation, as is often done in the conventional method.”
Discussing the UK water utility market, Zeev Fisher, Mapal’s CEO, said:
“These private entities have a greater incentive to fnd methods and new
technologies to reduce their O&M costs mainly the energy costs in the
aeration process and to improve their proftability as they are rigorously
regulated by the government in both water quality effuent and prices.”

Small testing device for detecting toxic blue-green algae
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a testing device
for detecting the presence of toxic blue-green algae in water.
Developed together with the University of Helsinki, the device is the size
of a thermometer, and it contains antibodies that react to toxic bacteria
found in a water sample. The test reveals in minutes whether the water
sample contains toxic blue-green algae.
VTT said, at the moment, information on blue-green algal blooms in wa-
ter is mostly based on visual inspections. However, visual inspections alone
are not capable of determining whether an algal bloom is toxic. Until now,
the toxicity of algae has generally had to be tested in a laboratory. For ex-
ample, only approximately half of blue-green algal blooms in lakes are toxic
and harmful to humans and animals. The new testing kit is designed to
provide a fast and reliable means of determining whether a blue-green algal
bloom is toxic.
Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, favour eutrophic and
warm water. Cyanobacteria can be found in almost every terrestrial and
aquatic habitat - oceans, fresh water, damp soil, temporarily moistened
rocks in deserts, and even Antarctic rocks. Every year, they form extensive
blooms e.g. in the Baltic Sea and other waters. The prevalence of algae
each summer depends on factors such as weather and water nutrient lev-
els. The frst blue-green algal blooms begin to form when the surface of sea
water reaches 15 degrees.
The testing kit for detecting toxic blue-green algae is in the process of
being commercialised. The kits could be on sale within two to three years.

Technology Round-up: Membranes
June/July | 2013
Dow Water & Process Solutions
(DW&PS) has launched its Integra-
Flo™ ultrafiltration modules which
it said are expected to deliver up to
85% more flow compared to conven-
tional UF modules, and require less
piping and skid infrastructure to re-
duce UF system capital expenditure
by up to 25%. This is compared to a
competitive module with a 55 m2 ac-
tive area operated at equivalent flux.
Available in two sizes, IntegraFlo
modules’ symmetric H-PVDF hollow
fiber membrane is formed from high-
grade polymeric chemicals, PVDF,
with uniform pore size designed for
applications including industrial, mu-
nicipal, seawater desalination pre-
treatment and wastewater reuse.
The system uses an outside-in
flow configuration, which DW&PS
claimed allows for less plugging,
higher solids loading, higher flow area and easy
cleaning. In addition, such configuration enables
the use of air-scour, which boosts cleaning ef-
ficiency.
The manufacturer claimed the module design
has 85% more active membrane area than com-
petitive modules to facilitate higher productivity
without an increase in module size or weight.
Due to the larger membrane area, fewer modules
are required, thus reducing the footprint of the
installation by up to 45%, the company said.
Also launched at the Aquatech China 2013
show from DW&PS were the ECO Reverse Os-
mosis (RO) elements. The elements use low dP
feed spacers with the aim to deliver lower energy
costs and reduced chemical consumption when
RO is followed by a mixed bed ion exchange unit.
DW&PS said the RO membranes are intended
to deliver up to 40% lower salt passage at up to
30% less energy when compared to standard RO
elements. FILMTEC ECO elements are offered in
ECO-400i and ECO-440i configurations.

Pentair has launched the X-Flow Color Re-
moval Package (CRP) for the removal of Natural
Organic Matter (NOM) in freshwater, which can
affect the water treatment process as well as
the color, taste and odour of drinking water.
The core component of the Pentair X-Flow
CRP is the HFW 1000 membrane. The mem-
brane fber combines the chemical resistance of
X-Flow’s membranes with the organic retention
of spiral wound nanofltration.
Pentair said advantages of the CRP include:
• Requires pre-treatment of only a 300 micron
safety screen before the raw surface water is
directly fed to the membranes
• Offers chlorine resistance for easy cleaning
to help ensure stable operation
• Provides >6-log (99.9999%) reduction of
bacteria and viruses
• Eliminates three process steps
• Contains verifable barrier that can be proven
with integrity testing.
Pentair said the technology has proven to
achieve a high retention of NOM, expressed
as color, humic acids, TOC, and UV254, and
shows low retention of hardness, including mul-
tivalent ions such as Calcium (Ca2+) and Mag-
nesium (Mg2+).
Juergen von Hollen, vice president, advanced
water technology, said: “The level of natural or-
ganic matter in surface water provides ongoing
challenges to municipalities around the globe.”

Hollow fber nanofltration for removal of NOM in freshwater
LANXESS’ Lewabrane reverse osmosis membrane elements now comply with the “NSF/ANSI Standard
61” for health-related implications of drinking water system components.
The U.S. National Sanitation Foundation (NSF International) has certifed that all brackish water mem-
brane elements currently offered by LANXESS are safe for
use in the treatment of drinking water.
The primary aim of the NSF Standard 61 is the objective
evaluation and limitation of impurities and admixtures that
are added to drinking water indirectly due to the products,
components and materials used in the treatment process.
The NSF standard is designed to protect public health and
the environment.
Alan Sharpe, head of the RO membrane project in the Liquid
Purifcation Technologies (LPT) business unit of LANXESS,
said: “This quality certifcate is necessary for treating drink-
ing water and, with it, we can now access an additional
market with strong potential for growth. In most countries, compliance with NSF Standard 61 is a basic
prerequisite for usage in drinking water applications and therefore a key quality indicator.”

RO elements from LANXESS approved for drinking water applications
GE has launched its AG LF series of “low-
fouling” reverse osmosis (RO) membranes de-
signed for tough-to-treat water such as waste-
water from industrial processes.
The membranes feature a coating technology
that GE said improves cleaning cycles, reduces
pressure and reduces friction on the surface of
the membrane, making it resistant to organic
fouling. The manufacturer claimed the
module can resist “degradation
from water containing bac-
teria, colloids and other
materials that foul and shorten membrane ele-
ment life”.
Field testing in Asia reportedly showed the
membranes required fewer cleaning cycles
compared to conventional brackish membranes
in tough-to-treat applications, such as steel
production, power plants and plating process-
es. The low-fouling membrane can reduce the
time between cleanings by up to 50%, although
actual results will vary with specifc application
conditions, said GE.

Drum emptying pumps for increased control
The Finish Thompson range of drum empty-
ing pumps is now available with the option of a
new high performance, variable speed electric
motor which provides 650 watts of continuous
power combined with infnitely variable speed control. The M5V mo-
tor is said to be 40% more powerful than comparable units and this
helps to eliminate problems associated with heat build-up resulting
from overloading or voltage fuctuations.
Available from pump specialists MICHAEL SMITH ENGINEERS the
new M5V motors are designed for use with the PF, TB and TBF series
drum pumps. These new motors incorporate an improved bearing
retaining system designed to eliminate any chance of movement and
have larger threads on the motor shaft coupling to help compensate
for increased torque.
The new speed control system features a circuit board mounted
potentiometer which uses spade connections to make replacement
easier and a resistor circuit which prevents premature failure due to
arcing. Also, although usually never required, the carbon brushes
can now be replaced. The infnitely variable electronic speed control
means fuid fow can be precisely controlled, while the double wall
motor housing minimises noise and vibration and a downdraft cooling
system helps contributes to extended motor life.
These new motor options further extend the capabilities of the es-
tablished range of Finish Thompson drum pumps which are ideal for
transferring many liquids, including corrosives, solvents and viscous
fuids. Models are available to handle capacities up to 150 lit/min and
viscosities up to 100,000 centipoise.
