products and volunteers to support community efforts during and after the devastating flooding,” said Ken Napolitano, president of ITT’s Industrial Process business. “Our mutual objective is to address the needs of our affected customers, their employees and families, as well as supporting the broader community needs focused on relief and rebuilding.” A Recovering Ethanolic The hazardous waste division of Veolia Environmental Services announced the company would be starting an ethanol recovery service at its newly acquired Medina, Ohio, facility. Waste materials from industrial manufacturing or consumer goods that contain ethanol will be processed to recover the liquid for reuse. The recovered liquids will be of sufficient quality to be used as fuel supplements. “This is yet another step in our growing list of recycling technologies that include organic and inorganic processes to recover mercury, metals, and solvents,” explained Philippe Martin, president and CEO of Veolia ES Technical Solutions. “Producing ethanol from discarded products is a costeffective recovery alternative that eliminates the need for disposal and produces a positive environmental impact.” The operation will support ethanol production from industrial, non-alcoholic and alcoholic wastes. Waste products are sent through equipment that destroys or recycles the packaging and separates out the liquids. These liquids are transferred to a recovery process that removes most water and contaminants. The final ethanol product is then subject to a rigorous specifications review, and when met, will be sold as fuel. IFAT China update A total of 274 companies from 20 countries have registered to take part in the 3rd International Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Refuse, Recycling and Natural Energy Sources. That is over 60 more than the last IFAT China that was held in 2006. Five countries – Germany, Great Britain, Korea, Switzerland and Austria – will each have their own joint pavilion. The event will be in Shanghai, Sept. 23 - 25, 2008. The trend in exhibitor numbers in the biogas section is increasing. Overall 13 companies are presenting their biogas products and services this year in Shanghai, on 255 square meters of exhibition space. Being held parallel to the IFAT China in Halls E4 and E5 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre is the fourth Analytica China, International Trade Fair for Analysis, Biotechnology, Diagnostics, Laboratory Technology and Services. Exhibitors and visitors to both fairs will benefit from this tandem arrangement and the opportunity it presents for knowledge transfer and sharing, particularly in the areas of instrumental analysis, laboratory technology and biotechnology, which are also key pillars in water and wastewater treatment.
