MODULAR TREATMENT SOLUTION ASSISTS DURING UPGRADE
Siltbuster has provided the Wessex Water Engineering and Construction delivery team at Porlock WRC with a modular treatment solution, to be used during the upgrade of the site’s existing MBR plant, as part of the AMP6 capital programme. The solution has not only enabled
compliance to be maintained whilst the existing MBRs are upgraded but it is also configured in such a way that Wessex Water will be able to redeploy it elsewhere in the business once the project is completed. Siltbuster worked closely with both Wessex
Water and its capital delivery partner, nmcn, to develop the modular plant. There were two main challenges facing Siltbuster at Porlock; demanding access limitations and strict timing constraints as other work needed to be completed by nmcn on the site first. Siltbuster’s team developed a solution
involving the integration of 3x MBBR units (MBBR30) for biological treatment downstream of the new primary treatment system, which itself consisted of 3x HB50M lamella clarifiers. The secondary settlement used 3x Dissolved Air Flotation units (D25) to ensure the solids were within the prescribed limits for subsequent UV treatment prior to discharge. The three-stream solution ensured that a 22l/s FFT consent was

achieved with sufficient capacity for maintenance during normal flow conditions. All of the process units are highly space
efficient, and were manufactured off site, so that their installation caused minimum disruption on site and could cope with the access limitations. They were also designed to be modular so they can be easily redeployed by Wessex Water, either for further capital maintenance schemes or as part of the company’s resilience planning strategies. Wessex Water said: “Working closely with
Siltbuster and sharing our knowledge ahead of the build allowed the temporary treatment system to be well planned and installed ahead of the capital maintenance project...”

SEVEN KEY CYBERSECURITY TRENDS IN 2020
TÜV Rheinland, an international provider of testing, inspection and certification services, has released its seventh annual report on Cybersecurity Trends for 2020. The report is a collaboration between many of TÜV Rheinland‘s leading Cybersecurity experts globally, and discusses seven key Cybersecurity trends which will be important to be aware of in 2020. The developments in the area of
Cybersecurity are alarming. As the number of smart devices in private households increase, so do the opportunities for cyber criminals to attack. Uncontrolled access to personal data undermines confidence in the digital society. The logistics industry and private vehicles are increasingly being targeted by hackers. “From our point of view, it is particularly serious that cybercrime is increasingly affecting our personal security and the stability of society as a whole,” explains Petr Láhner, Business Executive Vice President for the business stream Industry Service & Cybersecurity at TÜV Rheinland. “One of the reasons for this is that digital systems are finding their way into more and more areas of our daily lives.
Digitalisation offers many advantages - but it is important that these systems, and thus the people, are safe from attacks.” The professionals say the seven
cybersecurity trends for 2020 are: • Uncontrolled access to personal data carries the risk of destabilising the digital society • Smart consumer devices are spreading faster than they can be secured • The trend towards owning a medical device increases the risk of an Internet health crisis • Vehicles and transport infrastructure are new targets for cyberattacks • Hackers target smart supply chains and make them “dumb” • Threats to shipping are no longer just a theoretical threat but a reality • Vulnerabilities in real-time operating systems could herald the end of the patch age It is estimated that by 2025 there will be
over 75 billion networked devices on the Internet of Things, each using its own software package. This, in turn, contains many outsourced and potentially endangered components.
