In November 2015, Heathrow Airport’s water services department installed and trialled Xylem’s new state-of-the-art Flygt Concertor intelligent wastewater pumping system, with the intent to solve chronic clogging issues at one of the airport’s more challenging wastewater pumping stations.

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.

Xylem collaborated with the New Plymouth District Council to trial the innovative Flygt Adaptive technology, replacing two existing mixers in the anoxic zone of bioreactors.
