In July, 2021, two months’ worth of rain fell in a single week across Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and The Netherlands. Embodying the core values at Xylem – specifically, solving water – the Xylem team responded immediately to support disaster relief in the communities around Liege, Belgium.

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.

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