​By combining world-class products from all of Xylem with engineering expertise, we can offer full process design, equipment selection and supply, installation, commissioning and operator training.
 
Desalination

Desalination

​In water-stressed areas of the world near saltwater or brackish water supplies, removing salt from water through desalination is sometimes the only option to supply communities and industry with potable water.
Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Industrial Wastewater Treatment

​Once water has served the myriad of industrial uses, it must be treated to be reused, treated to enter the public utility wastewater treatment process or treated to return to the environment in a manner consistent with water quality regulations.
Industrial Water Treatment

Industrial Water Treatment

​Industrial process water must be of an appropriate quality to ensure that products comply with required quality standards and that the manufacturing process is both efficient and controllable.
Maritime Water Treatment

Maritime Water Treatment

​
Water serves as more than a catalyst of transportation in worldwide navigation. It’s also an important provision and operating resource on ships and yachts, as well as offshore platforms. Xylem helps ensure successful passages by treating drinking water, wastewater and ballast water.
Public Utility Wastewater Treatment

Public Utility Wastewater Treatment

​Once water has served its many residential and commercial uses, it must be treated so that it may be returned to the environment in a manner consistent with water quality regulations.
Public Utility Water Treatment

Public Utility Water Treatment

​A healthy water supply is one in which all waterborne pathogens and organisms are destroyed by means of disinfection methods.
Water Reuse

Water Reuse

​Drought, population growth and water shortages in water-stressed areas of the world are being mitigated through water reclamation or “water reuse” — when wastewater is treated and reused to become a reliable alternative water source.

Water & Wastewater Treatment Case Studies

Creating a stable biological environment in The Colony, Texas

​Flygt creates a novel “pump-in-the-round” for a major wastewater treatment plant expansion in Texas

N-Pump eases wastewater plant sludge handling

Wastewater treatment facilities in Scotland and Germany turned to Xylem’s Flygt brand for greater efficiencies and savings in maintenance

Pumping a highly corrosive cocktail of abrasive iron and sinter particles

​A new range of pumps from Flygt keeps northern Europe's leading heavy-plate manufacturer in business

Saving energy at a sewage lift station

​The City of Milford wanted a way to save energy at the Welches Point sewage lift station. By adding a small booster pump to the sewage pumping system, the city reduced the station's annual energy consumption by 36,096 kWh which resulted in annual savings.

Superior aeration with 40% less energy

​To curb rapidly increasing energy costs, the owners of the Italian treatment plant Parma West installed a modern aeration system based on Sanitaire membrane discs from Xylem.
