The city of Columbia, Tennessee, experienced a major pump failure in the spring of 2020 that led to sewage overflows, spurring them to engage Xylem Rental Solutions for an emergency pump rental. Xylem engineered a custom temporary bypass system with Flygt electric submersible pump.

One customer, operating a hard rock nickel mine in Ontario, needed an efficient and reliable solution to transport its mine slime from an underground sump back to the surface while ensuring continuity in production and minimizing downtime.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Global Ecology Group (GEG) developed a fogging system to support the delivery of ECAS solutions in benign disinfection applications. GEG’s Founder and CEO, Owen J. Morgan, has been developing ECAS since the early 1990’s but enlisted Xylem’s help to create amore accessible, portable ECAS fogging system for everyday spaces such as offices and vehicles.

While universal access to safe drinking water is a fundamental need and basic human right, it is estimated that 2.2 billon people globally lack access to safely managed water resources. While those in developing countries are most affected, with up to 80% of illnesses directly linked to inadequate water and sanitation, escalating climate challenges are impacting supply around the world.

In order to further protect its customers’ drinking water and comply with the latest WIMES and DWI disinfection regulations, Cambridge Water needed to differentiate between the alarms for “quartz sleeve failure” and “UV lamp failure” at its Hinxton Grange facility, thereby allowing operators to take decisive and immediate action in the event of a problem.

Regulate and monitor pressures, supervise flow rates, consumption, and non-revenue water (NRW) in different sectors, and bring together system information from various sources including the SADM’s SCADA.

The estimated flow through this regulator was 85 MGD, with a combined plant capacity of 170 MGD. Local environmental regulations restricted the use of diesel engines to 175 HP or less, and all engine driven equipment was required to be sound attenuated to 50 decibels at 30 feet.

In search for the best wastewater treatment process in terms of removal of microbiological contaminants and the abatement of bromate discharge, RWTH Aachen University, along with the other environmental institutions, launched a research project and partnered with Xylem to test the effects of wastewater ozonation on water quality and its ecosystem.

New building codes continue to raise efficiency standards for new and existing buildings; economic conditions pressure organizations to cut energy costs wherever possible; and new corporate sustainability initiatives require steady efficiency improvements.

Xylem built a coal ash disposal solution that met regulatory requirements while controlling labor and fuel costs.

Les Aliments Bari Inc.’s processing plant in Saint-Léonard-d’Aston, Quebec, Canada, needed a new wastewater treatment solution. In the past, wastewater was stored in large tanks on-site that was then applied on local farmland when weather permitted.

Air Selangor is a large water distribution company owned by the Malaysian state of Selangor. The public utility serves a population of 8.4 million residents and manages over 6200 kilometers of trunk mains, ranging from 300mm up to 2200mm, with much of the pipelines located in remote areas of the state.

Discover how Sentec partnered with a leading CCS operator to identify sensor technologies and integration pathways for safe, scalable CO₂ monitoring, enabling safer long‑term storage, reduced operational complexity, and regulatory‑ready deployment strategies.
