The chemical and hydrocarbon processing sectors rely on over 22 billion gallons of water daily for critical functions like cooling and chemical reactions. However, this water often contains impurities that can lead to compromised equipment performance and environmental risks. Xylem’s process water and wastewater solutions offer a robust approach to address these challenges. From temporary projects or permanent solutions to turnarounds and shutdowns, we can help remove impurities, ensuring quality, reliability, and environmental compliance.

Mobile Treatment Solution Helps Chemical Plant Meet Zero Liquid Discharge Requirements
Mobile demineralization trailer helps customer meet requirements while providing cost savings
A chemical plant in northern Illinois makes aqueous ammonia used for feed into the stacks of power plants for the removal of contaminants. Water is used during the ammonia production process. High quality water produces better aqueous ammonia, which allows for the most efficient removal of flue gas contaminants.

Turnkey Solution to Meet Zero Liquid Discharge Goals
Build / own / operate service increases capacity and reduces discharge at gulf coast chemical plant
A Gulf Coast chemical plant was faced with an unreliable demineralizer system to meet a proposed expansion of boiler feedwater requirements. In addition, the plant had a wastewater goal of zero liquid discharge. High total dissolved solids (TDS) in a proposed new well-water source threatened to increase demineralizer regeneration frequency, greatly increasing acid and caustic usage.
