Siemens, Ecolog to offer industrial wastewater treatment solutions

Siemens Energy’s Water Solutions business has partnered with Ecolog International to provide service-oriented treatment option to the water and wastewater industry.

The collaboration between the two companies is expected to offer solutions to the energy and petrochemical sectors for treating industrial wastewater containing spent caustic and hazardous waste.

Siemens Water Solutions CEO Anthony Pink said: “Wastewater has to undergo a complex, energy-intense process to reach the required level of purity.

“Siemens Energy’s specialist technology supports this process, and our agreement with Ecolog enhances our technological portfolio with key treatment technologies and vast wastewater experience, aligned with local high-performance services, allowing Ecolog and Siemens to jointly serve the wastewater industry in a broader way, as required.”

Additionally, the partnership will introduce Siemens’ Zimpro Wet Air Oxidation technology to the market that will be operated and maintained by Ecolog.

Under the new partnership, Ecolog will incorporate Siemens’ Zimpro Wet Air Oxidation and PACT biological treatment solutions to offer wastewater treatment solutions.

The companies will focus on projects where their new technology can be implemented to achieve low pollutant discharge levels or for water reuse while providing its customers with an option to outsource the plant integration, build and operation.

Ecolog International Group CEO Ali Vezvaei said: “We are heeding the call of our customers to bring advanced and integrated solutions to them locally and to enable them to focus on managing production and productivity and less on waste management and side streams.

“Having a strong and like-minded partner such as Siemens Energy enables us to enhance our services and to provide best-in-class solutions to our clients.”

Last October, the A3C consortium awarded a follow-up order to Siemens to deploy electrical equipment at eight seawater desalination plants in Saudi Arabia.
