Under this agreement, the 150 cubic meters per hour process water treatment plant, which is expected to be commissioned in November 2010, will use Siemens S3 process (S3: Sanitize/Start/Stop), coupled with a modular reverse osmosis system.
The S3 process, which shuts down the water treatment system during periods of non-use, thereby reducing the amount of energy and water consumed and wastewater generated, also extends membrane life, further reducing operational costs.
The use of the S3 process is expected to help the Malaysian soft drink plant save approximately 20% in annual operational costs compared to conventional system use.
The wastewater system has Omsniflo SBR system (Sequencing Batch Reactor) which is designed to treat 1,200 cubic meters per day using the Siemens Vari-Cant jet aeration system to reduce chemical oxygen demand and biochemical oxygen demand.
The modular design of the SBR system allows it to increase biological treatment capacity in future. The design also reduces the operating and maintenance costs by allowing the jet aeration to be used when needed.
The SBR system uses a nutrient removal process step designed to help the plant meet Malaysia’s future wastewater-discharge regulations.
