The most effective strategy to safely manage a force main inventory is to implement a risk based approach for any data collection, inspection, condition assessment, and management techniques. Using asset risk to guide the management strategies, an owner/operator can ensure they are implementing the right approach, at the right time, with the lowest financial impact.

Ahmed Ramadhan Juma (ARJ) is supplying 6 water transfer sets (11KW-200KW) and 7 water booster sets (4KW-37KW) utilising vertical and horizontal multistage pumps. The water booster sets are fitted with “Hydrovar”, a bespoke variable speed drive (VSD) designed for pumping applications.

HomeBiogas identified the possibility to support the development and transformation of such communities through the use of their patented Bio-Toilet, a compact and portable waste management solution that converts waste into renewable biogas for cooking – all without the need for electricity.

Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (ALCOSAN) is a municipal authority that provides wastewater treatment services to 83 communities, including the city of Pittsburgh, reaching a total population of 1.2 million people.

Due to a projected population increase, discharges from the site were required to undergo advanced biological treatment to reduce levels of phosphorous returned to the River Aire. This requirement was part of the UK Environment Agency’s Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP).

A condition assessment helps to understand the state of the prestressing wire which provides the pipe’s strength. PCCP manufactured during the 1970s is prone to low ductility in the wire and susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement, both of which increase the risk of failure. Worn PCCP can rupture with no warning, potentially shutting down the entire facility.

There is one thing that Xylem shares with the greatest engineering innovators, and that is continuous investment into new product development. This can been seen at the spectacular development of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai – the world’s tallest manmade structure.

For 34 years, Steve and Lana Gleason made due without a traditional residential water system. The couple, who live in the rural logging community of Jewell, Oregon, pumped water for washing from a nearby river and made 40-mile round trips from their home to haul drinking water from a spring.

High-quality drinking water often alludes residents in these remote areas, where hooking into the municipal water supply can be difficult and cost-prohibitive. With the help of the Water Supply Costs Savings Act signed into law in 2016, nonprofit efforts like Xylem Watermark and Hometown H2O are increasing the use of cost-effective alternatives such as water well systems.

Situated on Winter Island, a 54-acre peninsula located northeast of Salem, Massachusetts, Plummer Youth Promise is a child welfare organization that...

Operators of one of the largest coal fired power plants in the US based in Michigan, were looking for an efficient, robust and reliable pumping solution to move sludge water from each of the plant’s four sumps.

Xylem Rental Solutions helped a North Carolina community restore water service quickly during the COVID-19 outbreak with a temporary replacement, using a Flygt submersible pump, after a permanent pump failed.

An inspection of the pump showed that the internals had been severely damaged by overheating. The plant operators arranged for the pump to be repaired off-site at Xylem’s Morton Grove facility before being returned for recommissioning.

Working with Xylem UK, PolyPump proposed to replace the historic booster set with a fully automatic GHV series booster set. The series is typically used for water supply and pressure increase in commercial and industrial facilities, municipalities and large-scale settings such as apartment buildings and hotels.

This pioneering pump turns feedstock like cheap sugar into clean-burning ethanol fuel that emits far less greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than oil-based gasoline. It’s designed to be installed in household driveways and the parking lots of small businesses.

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.
