Siemens completed this MBR project, located in the highly developed and densely populated Yangtze River Delta, within 12 months after signing the contract. In an effort to clean up Taihu Lake, which has become heavily polluted in recent years, improvements are being made to sewage treatment facilities in the surrounding area. Since Siemens installed the MBR system in Wuxi Xincheng, the plant is now producing 30,000 cubic metres of Class I-A standard water per day which can be safely discharged into the Taihu Lake.
 

Dr Henrik Alt, general manager of Siemens Water Technologies said: “I am very proud of our success with the Wuxi Xincheng project. More and more existing wastewater treatment plants in China are facing added pressure to meet stricter requirements for water treatment. Our broad portfolio and integrated solutions can help customers meet this challenge.”
 

Mr Tim Dawidowsky, general manager of Siemens Industry Solutions Division said: “The availability of enough safe water and the effective treatment of wastewater is an increasingly complex challenge in China. As a world leading solutions integrator, we’re committed to contribute not only solutions but more importantly our know-how and expertise to help China realize the goal of sustainable development.”
