Linking water, energy and environmental sustainability: Siemens R&D projects hit key
milestones
Water treatment and transportation is a high consumer of energy and produces a
significant amount of CO2. Advanced treatment technologies therefore have to link water,
energy and environmental sustainability through innovation. In its global R&D center based
in Singapore, Siemens Water Technologies is striving to increase process and energy
efficiency by both developing new, and constantly improving existing technologies. Some
of these projects have reached important milestones. At Singapore International Water
Week (SIWW), the company will give an update on key projects like the energy selfsufficient
biological wastewater treatment process, electrochemical desalination, a
micro media column for contaminant removal and the membrane bioreactor (MBR)
Changi pilot plant.
