Quick and precise measurement of important water treatment parameters with the Siemens Photometer P15 plus, now with a measured value memory and real-time clock

The new version of the Photometer P15 plus from Siemens Water Technologies has a measured value memory and a real-time clock. It can store the values of up to 16 of the most important water treatment quality parameters, together with their times of measurement. Factors that could impair measurement – such as excess turbidity of the water sample – are automatically detected and displayed. The illuminated display makes the device easy to use, even under difficult conditions. Parameters such as pH value, acid capacity, free and total chlorine content, chlorine dioxide, bromine, ozone and cyanuric acid can be measured quickly, easily and precisely.    more

Siemens to provide a 95-MGD (360-MLD) pressurized membrane filtration system as pre-treatment for the Southern Seawater Desalination Plant (SSDP) in Perth, Australia

The Southern Seawater Joint Venture (SSJV) has awarded Siemens a multi-million dollar contract to provide a 95-MGD (360-MLD) membrane treatment system for Water Corporation’s desalination plant in Binningup, south of Perth, Australia. When completed, the 40-MGD (151-MLD) plant will produce approximately 15% of Perth’s water supply. The existing Perth Seawater Desalination Plant currently provides 17% of Perth’s water supply, and when the Southern Seawater Desalination Plant is commissioned in 2011, a total of approximately 30% of Perth’s water will be supplied from climate-independent sources.    more
