Water One of Olympic Spotlights

In addition to providing two different water treatment technologies to the National Stadium, GE is providing reverse osmosis membrane technologies for the Tangshan Nanpu Waste Water Reclamation Project, located east of Beijing in the North China Plain. The plant will produce more than 93,000 tons of treated water each day, enough to fill 37 Olympic-sized swimming pools, and the water will support industrial operations of the Tangshan Nanbao Economic Development Zone. GE water filtration technologies are also in place at the Qinghe Waste Water Recycling Project to process 80,000 cubic metres of waste water per day to be recycled for landscaping purposes during the Beijing Games.

Additionally, GE is supplying 120 wind turbines to the Zhangbei and Shangyi wind farms.

 "GE's contributions to the building of the Beijing Games have provided significant support in transforming the city of Beijing," said Gerhard Heiberg, Chairman of the International Olympic Committee Marketing Commission. "Through its projects ranging from city infrastructure to water treatment, GE is helping to ensure that the Games' facilities operate smoothly for athletes, spectators and media."
