Membranes & water reuse
Question about water reuse? This informative full-color, 8-page guide from Siemens Water Technologies, focusing on its Memcor membrane solutions, looks into common concerns and points to efficient and practical methods to address growing water scarcity concerns. Using innovative membrane water reuse technologies, communities can treat existing water sources to at or above existing drinking water standards. With global water reuse demand expected to rise over 180% in the next decade, it’s a prudent economic choice for communities seeking a solution to water shortages, as well as being environmentally friendly. Reclaimed or repurified water use also helps agriculture, irrigation and industry put less strain on potable supplies and reduces wastewater discharges to rivers, lakes and oceans.

Adjustable frequency drives
The new CPX9000 is based on Cutler-Hammer’s high-tech and highly successful 9000 Series of adjustable frequency drives. It uses advanced 18-pulse, Clean Power technology to significantly reduce line harmonics at the drive input terminals, resulting in one of the purest sinusoidal waveforms available. Designed to exceed IEEE 519-1992 requirements for harmonic distortion, the drive is ideal for water, wastewater, HVAC, industrial and process industry applications. In addition, it prevents transformers overheating and breakers and feeders overloading and allows AFDs to be applied to generators and other high impedance power systems.
