1 German Water Partnership Excellence in Water Technology and Water Management for Industrial Applications Stefan Girod, Director General

2 Water Consumption in Industry 8 % 7 % 20 % 65 % Folie 2

3 Industry Factory: Water Cycle fresh and process water treatment wastewater treatment energy production outflow inflow re-usable and valuable output resources refeed of energy, water- and output resources Folie 3

4 Industry Sectors Solar Chemistry Glass Ceramic Metal Electronics Automobile Food Beverages Paper & pulp Pharma Cosmetics Transport & shipping Textile Power Oil- & gas Petro chemicals Mining Folie 4

5 Industrial Water and Wastewater Challanges Each water is different Individual and decentralized solutions Special requirements for different branches and application Recycling of water, products and energy Adopted water treatment methods to the production process High requirements on experience, quality, operational reliability and service Folie 5

6 We provide Evaluation & Consulting Feasibility studies Planning & design Plant construction Parts & components Service Chemicals Plant building Plant operation Research & Development Financing Folie 6

7 Made in Germany As one of the highly developed sectors German water industry is characterised by: Tradition Individual experience and solutions for more than 100 years in a field of well established environmental laws, technical regulations and strict control by authorities Values quality, sustainability, reliability, flexibility and innovation Expertise education, research and development Responsibility preparing for upcoming national / international duties and challenges Best Total Cost of Ownership Folie 7

8 Technologies and Services for Industrial waste water Pure water Process water Cooling water Water recycling or Product and Energy recovery Sludge with Membrane technologies Chemical physical methods Anaerobic and aerobic biological solutions Special technologies Folie 8

9 Membrane Technology for Pure water Water re-use Recovery of products Reduction of waste water quantity Retention of biomass Separation of organic substances Folie 9

10 Biological Treatment Pre-treatment of waste water with high organic loadings Enhanced transport of substrates and gas exchange High rate of bio-degradation Low energy requirements Reduced production of surplus-sludge Production and recovery of biogas Low foot print Folie 10

12 Facts about GWP More than 360 members from all relevant areas of water management are combining forces: Operating companies/water authorities Construction companies Plant/system manufacturers Industry and manufacturers of components Consultants/engineering companies Universities/research institutes Federations/public institutions Organisations for development cooperation Folie 12

13 Partners and Cooperations German Water Partnership is supported by governmental and institutional partners Folie 13

14 High-Tech Strategy of the Federal Government To cope with the challenges of the 21st century and pursuing new approaches in research and innovation policy by: Pooling strengths Focusing on lead markets Improving framework conditions Evaluating strategies Folie 14

15 Key Topic of the High-Tech Strategy Water Research: Global Water Cycle Global Change and the Hydrological Cycle (GLOWA) = Pioneer in integrated regional Global Change ( ) In research and practice: Sustainable use of water resources Decentralised water supply and waste water systems ( ) Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) ( ) Sustainable Water Management (NaWaM) ( ) o Water & Health Water & Energy Water & Infrastructure o Water & Environment Water & Food Folie 15

16 Distribution of Companies and Research Facilities in Germany Bremen Hannover Hamburg Berlin Water management in Germany has a favourable position both nationally and internationally Aachen Essen Köln Leipzig Dresden Company size based on turnover (in million Euro): Frankfurt/Main Karlsruhe Stuttgart Nürnberg < > 50 Research facilities München Folie 16

17 European Innovation Partnership on Water Priorities: Water & Energy Nexus Financing for innovation is a key weakness Water re-use and recycling Working packages: Rural Urban Industrial water sector The involvement of the private sector will be the main indication for the success of the EIP on water Folie 17

18 Task Forces and working groups by GWP Information and marketing Central Issues Water & Energy Financing Industrial water solutions Capacity development Innovation and research cooperation Folie 18

19 Best Practice of Secure Supply: High Performance Membrane Technology in Water Treatment Membrane technology for innovative and sustainable water supply Need to further development of innovative ideas Extensive research project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research Main topic to provide scientific support for the industrial partners like inge AG and Passavant Roediger Folie 19

20 Best Practice of Efficient Treatment: AKIZ Project, Vietnam Integrated Wastewater Concept for Industrial Zones exemplified at Tra Noc Industrial Zone (AKIZ) Near-to-source measures shall be demonstrated, like pre-treatment of wastewaters, generation of energy from wastewaters, recuperation of valuable substances, water-re-use from wastewaters and sewage sludge treatment Various participants of GWP and eight universities Coordination Institute of Environmental Engineering and Management at the University of Witten / Herdecke supported by: 30. März 2012 Folie 20
