More Than 2,900 Exhibitors from 54 Countries Exhibiting at
IFAT ENTSORGA 2012 This Week
This
exhibition in Munich, Germany is heavily focused on wastewater issues.
Here are some of the highlights:
Biogas was a main focus at IFAT ENTSORGA
In 2010 around 1,000 new biogas plants were constructed in Germany, which was
about the same high level as in 2009. And in 2010 alone, sales in the biogas
sector reached around 4.7 billion euros. At present the German manufacturers of
biogas plants make around 80 percent of their turnover on the domestic market,
but export sales are becoming ever more significant for these companies and
their development. According to a survey by market researchers trend: research,
the number of biogas plants in the 16 European countries studied in the report
will more than double by 2020, to over 16,000. More and more countries are
laying down the legislative framework needed to boost growth in the biogas
sector in their countries. The system practiced in Germany for some years now,
of feed-in tariffs for electricity generated from renewable sources is now
establishing itself gradually throughout Europe. According to the analysts at
trend: research Italy, alongside Germany, is currently offering the most
attractive rates and thereby creating the foundation for faster growth than the
European average. Other nations are catching up. Even the more market-oriented
Great Britain introduced a feed-in tariff last year for decentrally generated
electricity from anaerobic fermentation. For April 2011 the tariff is being
extended to include thermal energy generated from biogas and biomass.
Large, new markets with expectations of rapid growth are to be found above all
in Eastern Europe, for example in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary,
according to a joint study undertaken by the consultants ecoprog and the
Fraunhofer Institute für Umwelt-, Sicherheits- und Energietechnik. "In the
established markets, for example in Germany, Italy and Austria, the most
favorable locations will gradually all be developed," explained Mathias Zuber of
ecoprog. "For this reason there will be a slight fall in the number of new
plants being installed. Some of this downturn can be compensated for by
secondary investment in older installations – what´s known as repowering."
But outside Europe, too, biogas is gaining ground. Mexico is a good example:
Over the last four years the government of this Central American country
invested the equivalent of 17.7 million euros in the form of subsidies for the
installation of 305 biogas plants. According to the German economic promotion
organization Germany Trade & Invest, by next year the number of plants will have
doubled. The Mexican Ministry of Agriculture is making around 33 million euros
of funding available for this.
Israel, too, is pushing ahead with renewable energy. The national electricity
supervisory authority is planning by 2017 to authorize anaerobic biogas plants
with an installed total capacity of 160 MW. Investors, who succeed in getting an
electricity-generation license, will be granted a feed-in tariff of initially 12
euro cents per kilowatt-hour for a period of 20 years. The tariff will be
updated each year during the license period.
The increasing industrialization of the agricultural sector in many developing
and emerging countries also opens up promising opportunities for the biogas
sector. In order to integrate the private sector more in the setting up and
expansion of sustainable energy systems in the partner countries in which
Germany is engaged in development initiatives, the trade association Fachverband
Biogas and the development organization Deutsche Gesellschaft für International
Zusammenarbeit signed a cooperation agreement in January this year. "German
technology leaders are an engine for setting up modern, future-capable energy
systems in developing and emerging countries, and also at the same time opening
up new markets there. This cooperation agreement will ensure that the developing
countries, too, will benefit from the latest experiences on the German biogas
market," emphasized Dr Claudius da Costa Gomez, Managing Director of Fachverband
Biogas.
Treated Wastewater should be used for Irrigation
"In view of the large quantities of water needed for agricultural production of
food, great potential is seen in the reuse of wastewater for irrigation
purposes," says Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Cornel from the Wastewater Technology
Department at the Technical University of Darmstadt. In arid and semi-arid
regions, it is common practice. The International Waste Water Management
Institute (IWMI, Sri Lanka) found three years ago that of the 53 cities in Latin
America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia it investigated, around 80 percent
were using part- or non-treated water in agriculture.
Example Jordan: The population here is rising fast, and water resources are
becoming ever scarcer. Overuse of groundwater resources has already led to a
drastic fall in the water table. A project funded by the KfW Entwicklungsbank
uses treated municipal effluent from three treatment plants in the Irbid region
for irrigation purposes. In addition it is planned to lay pipelines through into
the northern Jordan valley, where the water will be further processed for use in
agriculture. By substituting treated wastewater for fresh water in irrigation
processes, every inhabitant of Jordan´s capital city Amman will have an
additional 20 litres of drinking water available to them each day. The farmers
benefit from the fertilizing properties of the nitrogen and phosphorous content
in the treated water. The German international project-development organization
Deutsche Gesellschaft für International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ, Bonn) has already
begun consultations in the central Jordan valley on adapting the use of
fertilizers. Another advantage of the overall concept is that the substantial
difference in altitude between the location of the treatment plants near Irbid
and the Jordan valley is to be exploited by constructing a power station to
utilizing the transport of the treated effluent for generating electricity for
up to 15,000 households.
Another example is Peru: At the end of 2009 SEDAPAL, the water resources agency
for Lima started up a treatment plant near the Peruvian capital to process
effluent into water specifically for irrigating over 400 hectares of arable
land. The concept and the components for the system were delivered by the
international water and wastewater specialists ITT. This involves employing a
sequence batch reactor (SBR) with tertiary filtration which reliably removes the
parasite Helminth Ova, which is resistant to standard disinfectant technologies.
The treated water produced by this facility meets the requirements for
agricultural irrigation laid down by Peru's government in 2008.
A third example is China: Here ttz Bremerhaven is currently developing a new
irrigation technique for energy wood plantations, in cooperation with Alensys AG
of Erkner, Germany, and Hydro-Air GmbH (Niedergörsdorf, Germany). In this
BIOWARE project, sponsored by the German Ministry of Economics, municipal
wastewater and ground water are mixed to produce a suitable nutrient solution.
When this water is delivered via a controlled system of drip irrigation, savings
can be made in terms of both cost and conventional fertilizers. In spring this
year the prototype for this wastewater recycling system is being installed in
Yangjiteng, a small town near Chengdu with around 20,000 inhabitants.
In addition to these centralized, large-scale treatment concepts, there is also
the possibility of processing wastewater for irrigation decentrally, in much
smaller units. In Indonesia for example, high water prices and the need to
irrigate several parks prompted the operators of one hotel on the island of
Sumatra to install a membrane bioreactor system in 2008. The technology for
this, from Hans Huber AG of Berching (Germany), is housed in one of the lower
floors of the hotel. Each day this plant delivers around 250 cubic metres of
water for use in irrigating the landscaped gardens.
BASF
At the BASF booth a large selection of innovative and sustainable system
solutions for the wide range of uses awaits the trade visitor. BASF’s extensive
range of established products, such as flocculants, coagulants, corrosion
inhibitors, antiscalants, biocides, chelating agents and defoamers, provides
tailor-made solutions for the treatment of waste water, drinking water and
industrial water. This year’s main focus at IFAT is ultrafiltration technology,
a field of activity that BASF is strengthening since the acquisition of inge
GmbH in 2011.
The German company inge GmbH – widely regarded as the global leader in the field
of ultrafiltration technology – hundred percent owned by BASF and part of its
Water Solutions business – features the highly-efficient and robust
ultrafiltration membranes as well as the space-saving rack designs used to treat
drinking water, process water, waste water and sea water. The extremely
small-pore filters of the Multibore® membrane reliably intercept not only
particles, but also microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, thereby
providing a dependable source of clean water.
MAHLE
InnoWa Membrane GmbH specializes in the development, application, and
manufacture of high-performance filter systems based on membrane technology. The
company emerged from the former EBG GmbH and employs currently 20 people who
will be employed by MAHLE. In future, InnoWa Membrane GmbH will operate under
the name MAHLE InnoWa GmbH, headquartered in Stuttgart.
InnoWa Membrane manufactures hollow fiber membranes for ultrafiltration.
Ultrafiltration is used, for example, as a process step in the treatment of
drinking water from rivers, surface waters, or springs, and as a preliminary
step in sea water desalination. This technology allows even minuscule particles
such as germs, viruses, and bacteria to be filtered, opening up additional areas
of application in home and building services engineering, for example.
With its Industrial Filtration division, MAHLE Industry is already an
established manufacturer of filtration solutions for a broad spectrum of
industrial applications. “By acquiring InnoWa Membrane, we are opening up new
areas of application for our company in the field of filtration, such as the
increasingly important segment of water treatment,” says Dr. Michael Matros,
Corporate Executive Vice President and General Manager of MAHLE Industry. “This
acquisition also strengthens our core markets of Food & Beverage, Power
Generation, and general industrial applications,” continues Dr. Matros.
Siemens
Available in four new capacities, Osec B-Pak tubular cell electrolyzer systems
from the Siemens Industry Automation Division extend the output range of the
company's water disinfection portfolio. The largest model, the OSEC B-Pak 260
system, can produce up to five kilograms of chlorine per hour or 120 kilograms
of chlorine per day. Producing the sodium hypochlorite as-needed and on-site
eliminates the dangers involved in storing and transporting chlorine gas or
commercially available sodium hypochlorite solution. As it is also cheaper to
operate an OSEC B-Pak system than to buy sodium hypochlorite, the initial
capital cost pays off quickly.
The newly developed systems are compact and mounted on a skid to save space,
easy to operate, and designed for a long service life. The core component is a
newly designed, especially robust electrolyzer cell in a clear acrylic enclosure
that produces a stable disinfectant solution. The low-concentration solution
minimizes corrosion and degradation - loss of available chlorine during storage
- which occurs with highly concentrated solutions containing 10 to 15 percent
sodium hypochlorite. Operational safety is enhanced thanks to the fully
automated control system. Components are readily accessible and easy to clean.
The systems are supplied completely pre-assembled, electrically connected and
tested, and can be quickly installed and commissioned on-site.
Veolia
Memthane® opens the door to treating high strength, high solid wastes found in
industries such as distilleries, dairies (whey), bio-ethanol producers and
instant coffee plants which were previously considered untreatable from an
economic standpoint. Memthane® is not just an Anaerobic MBR technology, but a
small footprint solution that offers an array of benefits, eliminating disposal
costs while generating valuable biogas and remaining easy to operate and
maintain.
Memthane® maximizes renewable energy production while producing high quality
effluent that can be discharged directly to the sewer or often easily reused.
The suspended free effluent can also facilitate easy recovery of nutrients for
fertilizer production. With a COD removal efficiency of >98%, this powerful
green energy source offers the possibility of making production plants energy
self-sufficient, reducing the dependency on costly external fossil fuels.
Memthane® combines two technologies with proven track records: Biothane’s
anaerobic biological wastewater treatment and Pentair X-Flow's ultrafiltration
(UF) membrane separation process. Influent is fed to the anaerobic bioreactor
where the organic components are converted into energy-rich biogas. Next, the
anaerobic effluent is processed through the UF membrane unit, separating the
‘clean’ permeate from the biomass. The biomass is returned to the
bioreactor, while the ultra-clean filtrate is discharged as particle-free, low
BOD/COD effluent, often at levels low enough for direct discharge to the sewer.
In addition to its performance advantages, Memthane® delivers significant total
operating costs reduction compared with other technologies, taking into account
all elements, including membranes, chemicals, sludge disposal and overall energy
savings. The simple, single, fully automated reactor system also offers the
possibility of remote control.
Seepex
At IFAT ENTSORGA 2012 in Munich, Seepex is presenting their innovation Smart
Conveying Technology and demonstrating how to replace a progressive cavity pump
rotor and stator in less than five minutes.
SPX
In recent years, the testing for heavy metals discharged from industrial sewage
treatment plants and in surface water used for the preparation of drinking water
has increasingly become the focus of official monitoring in many countries.
Examples of this are the detection of chromium (VI) and total chromium in the
leather and dyeing industry, the detection of copper and nickel in wastewater
from galvanizing businesses, and the detection of iron, lead and manganese in
the conditioning of drinking water. The operating companies are obliged to
submit measurements to the responsible environmental authority as the
controlling body on a continuous basis. It is therefore an advantage to
determine this information online.
When choosing the appropriate measuring technology, it must be noted that Volta
metric determination, as a conventional laboratory method, is not suitable for
online measurement in process plants. It is sometimes necessary to spend
considerable sums on this measuring equipment in order to ensure consistently
reliable measuring results in quasi-continuous operation without the
intervention of laboratory personnel.
A cost-effective alternative is provided by photometric detection methods, which
enable heavy metals to be measured right down to trace level. With the PowerMon
range of units, Bran+Luebbe online analysers from SPX provide an ideal platform
for these measurements. Applications are available for the above-mentioned
examples, among others, thanks to the flexible equipment options. Depending on
the application, the verification limits lie in the range from 0.3 µg/l to 3
µg/l, which also makes the units outstandingly suitable for monitoring limits in
drinking water.
Vogelsang
For waste water and industrial applications Vogelsang is introducing a new
rotary lobe pump concept. The pumps in the IQ series are characterized by their
user-friendly construction. The pump chamber consists of a single central part
and thus ensures low operating costs and cost-effective pumping of demanding
media such as primary sludge or mechanically thickened sludge. This makes the IQ
series particularly suitable for sewage treatment plants or for industrial
applications. It provides high priming capacity, but at the same time it can be
simply and quickly drained to the greatest extent possible. The number of
relevant spare parts was reduced by half, so that the time needed for replacing
wear parts has been significantly reduced. Since the pump chamber can be
dismounted in a few easy steps, the pumping elements are easy to reach for
service and maintenance work. What is also new is that to replace any wear part,
from the pump chamber to the mechanical seal, no screws in the connection to the
pipe must be loosened. The pump remains firmly screwed into the pipe.
Intewa
AQUALOOP - new system for water treatment and grey water recycling
Whether surface water, groundwater, runoff water from wastewater treatment
systems, industrial sewage or grey water from houses – AQUALOOP produces
germ-free, bacteriological high drinking water quality!* The AQUALOOP
system consists of a few modular components to fit any situation that can be
easily assembled as required.
The patented AQUALOOP C-MEM membranes are at the core of the water treatment
process. The membranes´ special hollow fibres reliably filter bacteria and
virus.
Their special design and arrangement ensures a long service life of up to 10
years with minimal maintenance. AQUALOOP can recycle and improve water quality
without chemical additives such as chlorine, which is proven hazardous to
health.
Severn Trent Services
Severn Trent Services is one of the world leaders in tertiary treatment
technologies, with more than 300 systems installed worldwide including treatment
of more than one million m3/d in Europe alone. The TETRA® DeepBed™ filtration
system is a down flow sand filter for the filtration of effluent from municipal
wastewater treatment plants. The technology offers process flexibility and high
efficiency backwash for the removal of suspended solids and other insoluble
contaminants. For nitrate-nitrogen and suspended solids removal, the process is
easily upgraded to the TETRA® Denite® system, a fixed-film biological
denitrification process. The Denite system integrates well with other plant
treatment processes to provide superior total nitrogen and phosphorous removal.
TETRA Denite and TETRA DeepBed filters represent more than 10 percent of the
world’s capacity for wastewater reuse systems including more than 40 percent of
all installations in Florida, USA.
The TETRA® NSAF (nitrifying submerged aerated filter) is a tertiary ammonia
removal process for municipal and industrial wastewaters. The TETRA NSAF is
available in a range of sizes from small modular units for above ground
construction to large bespoke design plants. All sizes of NSAF are capable of
achieving low Ammonia standards.
Severn Trent Services is a leading supplier of electrochlorination technology.
Since 1988 the company has installed more than 3,500 ClorTec® on-site sodium
hypochlorite generating systems worldwide, and the systems have been used for
water reclamation / reuse applications in water-starved regions of the world.
Severn Trent Services also has developed a cost-effective system for the on-site
production of sodium hypochlorite for use in swimming pools, cooling towers and
food and drink applications – the ClorTec SCT mini on-site sodium hypochlorite
generating system. This compact, innovative product offers a safe and reliable
alternative to the transportation of hazardous chemicals and is easy to
maintain.
Hanna
The Multiparameter Bench Photometer HI 83099-02 from HANNA instruments is
perfectly suitable for wastewater analysis.
In addition to COD at three levels, HI 83099-02 measures further 43 water
quality parameters like ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, dissolved oxygen or
phosphate. COD measurements are performed easily, quickly and safely according
to the micromethod.
The meter features a large grafic display with contextual help and a tutorial
mode that assists the user during each step of the analysis process. Over 200
measurements can be logged on demand and transferred to a PC via USB.
Allweiler
(Bottrop) Allweiler GmbH will exhibit its new All-Optiflow pump series.
These new progressing cavity pumps are designed for use in waste handling,
wastewater treatment, and paper manufacturing, among other applications.
All-Optiflow progressing cavity pumps generate pressure of up to 6 bar (87 psi)
to move virtually any type of liquid (even with fibrous and solid materials)
efficiently and reliably. Their capacity can be up to twice as high as
conventional pumps.
Large Players in Air and Water Need to Follow Inorganic Growth with Organic
Many of the larger companies in the air and water equipment and service
industries have grown substantially due to inorganic growth. Acquisitions
boost revenues and total profits. The challenge is now to increase earnings as a
percent of sales. This can be best done with prioritized organic growth.
Details on a program to achieve this growth are detailed by McIlvaine Company in
its comprehensive
Air/Gas/Water/Fluid
Treatment and Control World Markets.
There are two categories of organic growth:
·
Low investment, low risk, attractive ROI
·
High investment, high risk, large ROI
Low investment, low risk, attractive ROI
This category should be the first priority because of the low investment and
risk. There are two ways to accomplish this type of organic growth without
creating new products.
·
Expand the existing product line into new applications and industries
·
Achieve greater geographical penetration with the existing product line
New applications and industries:
The wave of mergers has set up very attractive opportunities for large players
to expand product lines into new industries. Xylem has a great penetration
with its pumps in municipal wastewater treatment plants around the world. The
recent acquisition of YSI will allow it to pursue the municipal market for
monitoring and instrumentation. Pentair and Tyco have complimentary
industry strengths and product lines, so the merged company can leverage this
synergy.
Colfax and Howden can combine the complimentary liquid and gas handling
equipment with unique industry strengths. “This
is a transformational acquisition for Colfax that accelerates our growth
strategy, enhances our business profile and continues our journey to becoming a
premier global enterprise," said Mitch Rales, Colfax Chairman.
GE has acquired Dresser and can leverage many of the synergies between turbines
and valves in power and oil and gas industries.
“GE and Dresser are a natural fit together. We share a commitment to technology
and innovation and we have many common customers in the energy space,” said John
Krenicki, vice chairman of GE and president and CEO of GE Energy in
February 2011 when the deal was completed.
The achievement of these synergies has proven difficult for acquirers in the
past. One of the reasons is the natural resistance among divisions to share
knowledge and therefore power. Business experts say that the secret is creating
a collaborative environment. They further recommend that a third party be
utilized to help engender this collaborative atmosphere.
Expanding geographic reach:
Most large international companies are not achieving the same high market share
in Asia which they enjoy in other areas. Here are some examples:

Asia is the largest current market and the fastest growing for almost all
segments in air and water. The typical international player could
substantially increase revenues by increasing the Asian market share.
Large international players face two big challenges:
· Language
nuances
· Validating
lowest life cycle cost claims
Most companies have no trouble reading or communicating in English. However, the
specific terms which distinguish one product from the others are often not
translated correctly. McIlvaine has developed a “Decisive Classification System”
in English and Chinese to overcome this problem.
A second challenge is to convince the purchasers of the lower life cycle cost of
the international product as opposed to the local one with the lower initial
cost. Thanks to all the available digital communications this challenge
can be effectively addressed.
High investment, high risk, large ROI
The biggest potential increases in profits come from developing proprietary
products and services with lower life cycle costs. This can be accomplished with
both product and application research. Companies should be pursuing more
fundamental research to develop products without a pre-determined market in
mind. At the same time, they should be tailoring existing products to developing
markets. Furthermore, the big players can be pro-active and help create new
markets.
Too little is spent for R&D by the companies serving the air and water markets.

Industrial equipment providers including those in the air and water segments are
spending very little on basic research and not much more on applied research.
The machinery manufacturers as a group account for just over 4 percent of
research and development (R&D) in the U.S. By contrast, the
pharmaceutical, computer/electronics and information groups account for 50
percent of all research. The pharmaceutical industry spends 13 percent of
revenues on R&D. The true R&D for the air and water industry is less than
2 percent. Furthermore, air and water R&D tends to be government funded even
though companies such as ADA-ES are actually doing the work and are being
remunerated to do so.
The large players in air and water can justify increased R&D based on the
expanded inorganic revenue base. There are numerous examples of
developments which have created very large and profitable revenues streams, e.g.
Goretex (organic) or Filtrete (inorganic).
There is a larger and bigger profit potential in developing whole systems.
McIlvaine has identified the co-location of power plants and municipal
wastewater treatment plants as one initiative which would create high potential
for profitability.

Asia will account for the majority of the increase. This is due to
expansion of power generation, municipal wastewater treatment and municipal
water treatment in Asia. The power industry in Asia will spend $2.4 billion for
treatment chemicals. In 2013, China, India, Vietnam and other developing
Asian countries are greatly increasing their coal generation capacity.
A unique segment of the Asian power market is the cleanup of the Fukishima
power plant. This one plant will account for 4 percent of all the
purchases of treatment chemicals by the Asian power industry in 2013.
Due to the poor quality of source water, the chemical requirements to purify
drinking water in Asia are higher than in other areas. Due to the water
shortages, there are increasing quantities of treatment chemicals utilized to
purify municipal and industrial wastewater for re-use.
China will be increasing expenditures for chemicals used in conjunction with
desalination. By contrast the Middle East will not see the double-digit growth
next year which it has experienced in the past.
