Siemens Is to Provide an IPS Composting System Using Its New MEB Process to China

Siemens is to provide an IPS composting system using its new Mechanically Enhanced Biodrying (MEB) process for the Shenyang Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Treatment Project in Shenyang, China. This will be the largest IPS composting facility ever built, and one of the largest sludge treatment processes in the world using non-thermal processing. The Siemens IPS system will be used in a new sludge treatment facility that will serve three existing wastewater treatment plants and one new plant. This is the first commercial application of Siemens’ IPS composting system’s biodrying process. The Shenyang plant is designed to dewater 1000 wet tonnes per day of wastewater sludge, from 20% solids to 65% solids without the need to add heat. The IPS composting system is scheduled to be commissioned in autumn 2012. Source: workingwithwater.filtsep.com
