Waterborne microorganisms and contaminants of emerging concern such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the water are responsible for adverse effects on the flavor, color, odor and shelf life of soft drinks, bottled water and food products. Water used in the food and beverage industry, either for product, or as part of the process must be treated in order to ensure the integrity of the product. Ultraviolet disinfection provides an effective disinfection solution.

How Smith-Blair custom-engineered 624 MJ tapping sleeves solved a 5/8" out-of-round pipe challenge on aging ductile iron infrastructure in Florida.

The pharmaceutical facility has a variety of manufacturing and production capabilities supported by microbiology, chemistry and R&D laboratories. Clearly understanding what it will take to achieve their vision as an industry leader, they are vigilant in its investment in new R&D, the expansion of its current injectables and inhalation lines, and making production improvements to its delivery systems.

This plant treats water from the Ruhr River to provide drinking water for several million people.

This system allows Bayernoil to meet the allowed discharge limit set by the Bavarian authorities into the Danube river.

New production lines at plant resulted in increase in wastewater flow and load, which exceeded capacity at the municipal plant. Therefore, pet food manufacturing plant needed an on-site wastewater treatment system.

In the U.S., mines operate under strict Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations; as such, pipelines must be carefully monitored and maintained.

A greater awareness of the importance of protecting the environment is leading many companies to review the sustainability of their processes.

When the utility identified the main for priority inspection, they welcomed the strategy of combining a SmartBall leak detection inspection with a pilot run of Xylem’s cutting-edge PipeDiver Ultra, an advanced condition assessment platform that analyzes ultrasonic data to deliver actionable insights on the physical integrity of the pipeline.

Most rising mains failures are preventable. And today, inspecting them is easier, more cost-effective, and less disruptive than ever, thanks to the development of advanced inspection technology such as Xylem’s SmartBall.
