Industrial production of all types including energy generators, chemical manufacturers, food processors, beverage producers, mining operations and manufacturers of all types, each depend on large quantities of quality water.

From a consistent quantity and quality of DI water, to process or utility water, to disinfection, water as an ingredient, and all types of wastewater which must be treated to compliance, water is an increasingly complex problem to manage outside of your core business focus.

Companies are realizing the benefits of partnering with service providers that have the proven expertise needed to help them optimally manage and maintain their water processes. This partnership allows the customer to focus on their core business and maximize the life of their equipment, reducing their total cost of operation and improving their bottom line.

Xylem provides a method of water management called Build-Own-Operate. In this model Xylem will either upgrade your existing system or design an entirely new one at reduced risk and predictable cost.

Xylem’s applications experts and engineers can partner with a customer’s team and use a holistic approach to design and build the necessary water treatment system based on customer needs and treatment goals, for any stage of the water cycle, regardless of facility type or process.

Preserve your capital and increase the resources that you have available to invest in your core business.

A Xylem Build-Own-Operate agreement will provide you with the water treatment system that your operation requires without the large up-front capital outlay. Instead, Xylem maintains ownership of the system while you pay regular monthly service fees for water produced over the period of the contract.
