From traditional to renewable energy sources, today’s diverse energy and power producers have one thing in common – the need to manage water as part of their operations. Whether harnessing the power of hydroelectric dams, tapping into geothermal reservoirs, or scaling up green hydrogen production, each sector of the energy industry faces unique water treatment challenges. Xylem offers a broad portfolio to address these needs whether looking to reduce operating expenses, meet sustainability goals, or remain compliant with wastewater discharge regulations.
