AC Fire Pump vertical turbines are designed for standpipe, sprinkler, chemical mitigation and hydrant systems. AC Fire Pump has been manufacturing fire pumps and systems since the 1880s and is a member of the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA) and the American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA).

Adoption of innovational technologies that assist carbon reduction and measurement to qualify that improvement is seen as key to NetZero.

Scottish Water has a 25-year strategic plan for renewing infrastructure to provide high-quality water services that benefit people and the planet. Aging infrastructure is one of the utility’s primary challenges, with many pipelines built over 50 years ago and some well over 100 years old.

The City of Fort Wayne, the second largest city in Indiana, has a proactive water utility that is always looking for innovative ways to optimize water management and better serve their community.

Heat exchangers are widely used in various industries including chemical, oil & gas, power generation, food & beverage, HVAC & refrigeration, pulp & paper to name a few, and are expecting strong growth over the coming years driven in part by a rising focus on environmental impact and improving efficiency standards.

As part of Scottish Water's asset resilience strategy, it trialled Xylem Concertor, the first wastewater pumping solution with integrated intelligence, at two of its Ayrshire pumping stations: Maple Grove and Cross Dene.

Explore how to apply and integrate technological developments and skillsets to unlock each utility’s hidden potential.

The Thakadu Nickel Purification Plant utilises a process called Nickel Crystallization. A crude nickel sulfate stream is pumped to the purification plant, where it is heated and evaporated into a vacuum, forming nickel sulfate crystals for harvesting.

Xylem’s channel partner Anderson Process was tasked with designing a custom system that could efficiently and reliably heat and cool the oil to the desired temperatures. The team custom engineered a skid incorporating an assortment of fluid handling components, including a Goulds Water Technology e-SH pump and two Standard Xchange heat exchangers.

For decades, the City of Richmond’s Department of Public Utilities has been working to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and improve water quality in the James River. Despite making significant improvements, the City still experiences between one and three billion gallons of annual overflow and is actively working to reach Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) water quality goals.

Walla Walla began their journey toward long-term improvement by transitioning to a smart utility network from Sensus, a Xylem brand. The solution gave the utility better visibility across more than 11,000 water meters. Better yet, it gave Walla Walla a foundation that was scalable down the road.

Even in coal-dominated Kentucky, renewable energy is getting more attention as federal and state tax incentives add up, and the federal government moves closer to capping carbon dioxide emissions and making coal power more expensive.

The Water Authority was one of the first agencies to take a proactive PCCP management approach. They began an aggressive condition assessment program in 1992. This early program relied primarily on internal visual and sounding inspections.

When you make decisions that result in better operations, reduced costs, and safer conditions, members will take notice. However, the ever-savvy customer also wants some say in managing their own budgets when it comes to energy use.

Water Well Trust, a nonprofit partner of Xylem and Hometown H2O, is a domestic water program working to bring access to clean and sustainable water to the more than 2 million Americans without it.

Pumps are everywhere in agriculture, essential both for irrigation and for heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC). But water needs change, and irrigation systems don’t always require a constant flow rate or constant pressure. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are electric controllers that vary the speed of the pump, allowing the pump to respond smoothly and efficiently to fluctuations in demand.

Monitoring water systems can be difficult in a community like Big Sky with a large seasonal population, extreme weather and elevation changes. Leaks and other issues may occur in residences when no one is there to notice. The District also bills quarterly, which makes finding problems early on even more critical for customers.

According to Utilitalia, 38 percent of water is lost on average from the country’s distribution networks. By reducing these losses, the country’s utilities can achieve a more sustainable water supply, lower energy demand, and better financial stewardship.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Global Ecology Group (GEG) developed a fogging system to support the delivery of ECAS solutions in benign disinfection applications. GEG’s Founder and CEO, Owen J. Morgan, has been developing ECAS since the early 1990’s but enlisted Xylem’s help to create amore accessible, portable ECAS fogging system for everyday spaces such as offices and vehicles.

The city of Columbia, Tennessee, experienced a major pump failure in the spring of 2020 that led to sewage overflows, spurring them to engage Xylem Rental Solutions for an emergency pump rental. Xylem engineered a custom temporary bypass system with Flygt electric submersible pump.

By implementing a proactive management program, utilities can virtually eliminate the risk of failure within their PCCP inventory. Even utilities that have not experienced a large-diameter PCCP failure, can realize significant capital program savings by managing these assets in place of replacement.

While evaluating wire breaks are an important part of PCCP management, it is important to acknowledge additional factors beyond wire breaks. By acknowledging additional condition factors, limitations of wire break assessment, and considering other rehabilitation approaches, there may be a more sustainable PCCP management approach.

Safety upgrades imposed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) several years ago required nuclear power plants across the United States to review operations and enhance safety protocols. As a part of this process, a nuclear power plant located in the northeast of the U.S. sought an emergency back-up solution to inject cooling water into the plant reactor in the event that all other means of cooling failed.
