Hamburg Public Sewage Company, HSE, at the IFAT-China in Shanghai
  By Ulf Rakelmann, Hamburger Stadtentwaesserung
   
  In 2006, on its 20th anniversary, the city partnership between Hamburg and Shanghai is as active as ever. The participation of the HSE at the international environmental protection fair IFAT-China in Shanghai at the end of June was another contribution to it. The IFAT China is the Asian reflection of the IFAT Europe, which takes place in Germany every three years.
   
  Already in the year 2004 the HSE had come to this fair in Shanghai. This year again, now as an enterprise of the new formed local enterprise Hamburg-Water-Group, HW, to which Hamburg water works (Hamburger Wasserwerke) and the Hamburg Public Sewage Company as independent enterprises still belong. The wise concentration of specialized authorities is now completed with the formation of the largest German local enterprise in the water industry.
   
  HSE was represented on the German pavilion as an expert for water management, responsible for urban drainage systems in the Metropolitan region of Hamburg with more than 160 years experience.
   
  With the available, comprehensive experiences from the past within the range of planning, building, enterprise, maintenance and renewal, the HSE presented itself on the IFAT as advisor for innovative urban water infrastructure systems. Central topics were energy questions, to which HSE was frequently consulted and to those Hamburg can demonstrate ecologically and economically solutions.
   
  HSE presented guidelines for Circular-Material-Flow-Management including the innovative and sustainable Water-Infrastructure-Systems and energy saving technologies. In the context of ecobuild 2006, the HSE conceives at present such a water maintenance and disposal infrastructure as a model project for a settlement on the island Chongming.
   
  Participation to the trade fair proved a high interest in solutions from HSE, as energy and water issues are of growing concern to Chinese municipalities like Shanghai. Its experience in Hamburg as well as through the various projects conducted in China draw attention of project developers.
