Water Reuse Helps Reduce Demand on Potable Water

The demand on the world's water supply is enormous. Increasing global population, expanding industrial economies and intensified, irrigation-based agriculture gravely impact water supply.

According to the International Water Management Institute, water scarcity today affects one third of the world's population. Given the climatic changes that have intensified droughts in many regions, water scarcity is expected to affect far more people in the next 20 years.

Siemens has taken an industry-leading leap in creating and producing advanced treatment systems that keep clean water flowing day in and day out. Our commitment, as always, is to innovation that keeps resource needs and usage in harmony.

Our many technology combinations can create usable water through recycling and reuse. New, more efficient biological treatment processes incorporate membranes; advanced filtration technologies have integral multiple barrier processes; UV disinfection reduces chemical use and disinfection by-products; and on-site services optimize performance.

Our MEMCOR membrane filtration as well as the Trident clarifier, Hydro-Clear sand filter and the newly enhanced Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) with pulsed airlift, are just a few of the technologies we offer.  Another popular filtration solution for water reuse applications is the Forty-X Disc filter.
