How industrial operators across Europe are approaching water reuse in practice. Q&A with Xylem’s Verónica García Molina, Sr. Director, High Growth Verticals

Dutch water utility Dunea partnered with Xylem to develop the world’s first sequential advanced oxidation process for drinking water treatment. The system combines ozone-AOP and UV-AOP to remove up to 90% of organic micropollutants while keeping bromate levels far below health thresholds, improving water quality, energy efficiency and long-term treatment resilience.

As phosphorus limits tighten across the UK, wastewater utilities are turning to proven, scalable treatment solutions to protect water quality and plan for growth. At its Knostrop Wastewater Treatment Works, Yorkshire Water adopted Xylem’s innovative CoMag™ ballasted clarification technology to meet stricter discharge requirements while increasing treatment capacity and improving operational efficiency.
