In a world facing growing environmental pressure, the way we treat water is evolving. From industrial operations to municipal plants, operators are not only expected to meet stringent water quality regulations—they’re also being called to do so more sustainably and efficiently than ever before.
Xylem offers a powerful portfolio of advanced water and wastewater treatment equipment, helping customers safeguard their operations while reducing environmental impact. Whether you require a permanent setup or a rapid-response solution during maintenance or emergency situations, Xylem ensures that water quality is never compromised.
Advanced Treatment with UV, Ozone, Filtration and DAF
Today’s water challenges require a move away from conventional chemical-based disinfection toward greener, safer alternatives. Ultraviolet (UV) and Ozone (O₃) technologies—two naturally occurring, non-chemical methods that offer robust, proven disinfection without harmful by-products.
These solutions are ideal across sectors, from municipal utilities to food and beverage manufacturing. UV treatment inactivates microorganisms like Cryptosporidium and Legionella without altering water composition or producing toxic residues. Meanwhile, Ozone offers a powerful oxidizing effect—50% stronger and 3,000 times faster than chlorine—making it an exceptional solution for industries where hygiene and shelf life are critical.
High TSS loads can significantly compromise the efficiency of downstream treatment processes, reducing disinfection performance, increasing sludge volumes, and even leading to permit violations if not properly managed. DAF units address this challenge by removing a large proportion of suspended solids at the outset, protecting subsequent treatment stages
DAF systems, in particular, are a highly effective solution for temporary or fluctuating needs when dealing with elevated Total Suspended Solids (TSS) loads over a limited time period. These units can be rented for short- or mid-term use and are designed for easy integration into existing treatment infrastructure. When needed, they can also be tailored to specific site or process requirements, making them a flexible and efficient choice for managing peak loads or temporary process challenges.
At Xylem, we provide advanced solutions designed to enhance energy efficiency and performance in biological treatment processes and to bridge the current blowers in case of failure.
For aerating biological reactors, we offer high-efficiency centrifugal Turbo MAX blowers equipped with direct-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). These high-speed motors eliminate mechanical losses by using a direct-coupled impeller on the motor shaft, removing the need for gears, and feature a precisely machined, anodized aluminum alloy impeller to optimize performance. The result is reliable, energy-efficient aeration with minimal maintenance.
We also offer Taron filters, an innovative technology that can either supplement or replace traditional secondary clarifiers. These filters enable wastewater treatment plants to expand treatment capacity to accommodate growing populations and peak flow events, while also helping to meet increasingly stringent discharge limits for solids, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Additionally, Taron filters reduce the overall footprint and cost required to achieve treatment goals, offering greater flexibility and efficiency in plant design and operation.
By integrating advanced disinfection, solid separation technologies like dissolved air flotation (DAF), energy-optimized aeration systems, and modular filtration solutions such as Taron, Xylem delivers comprehensive, sustainable solutions that address the evolving needs of water and wastewater treatment facilities.
Temporary Solutions, Zero Compromise
Unexpected shutdowns or scheduled maintenance can put water treatment performance at risk. For such scenarios, Xylem provides modular, containerised treatment systems for temporary deployment. These plug-and-play units are designed to deliver uninterrupted treatment capability while minimizing site disruption.
Our rental offering includes:
- UV and Ozone disinfection containers for chemical-free pathogen removal
- Blowers for aeration during biological treatment
- Filtration units as clarifier
- Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems for effective solids , FOG removal and pre-treatment
Whether it’s a planned upgrade or an unplanned emergency, our local teams can mobilize quickly, ensuring your process compliance, operational continuity, and environmental responsibility are protected.
Sustainable Performance with Long-Term Gains
Choosing Xylem’s advanced technologies means investing in long-term efficiency. Modern UV systems now feature low-pressure, high-output lamps with a service life of up to 16,000 hours. Their intelligent controllers can adjust UV intensity in real time, saving up to 20% on energy consumption. With only the lamps and quartz sleeves needing periodic attention, maintenance becomes simpler, cheaper, and greener.
Ozone generators also offer low life-cycle costs. With core units backed by 10+ year warranties, only filters and seals are consumable—resulting in reduced waste and minimized maintenance needs. In systems like cooling towers, Ozone not only disinfects but also prevents fouling and microbial corrosion, maintaining heat exchanger efficiency and minimizing costly downtime.
Driving Compliance and Protecting Ecosystems
With tightening regulations like the Urban Wastewater Directive, businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact—particularly in sensitive coastal and inland waters. Xylem’s disinfection solutions help customers meet or exceed these standards without relying on hazardous chemicals that pose safety and handling risks.
This regulatory landscape is also accelerating a shift toward holistic water management—where technology is chosen not just for what it removes, but how it performs throughout its lifecycle. Xylem’s solutions support this shift, providing scalable, future-ready platforms that prioritize performance, compliance, and sustainability in equal measure.
A Greener Path Forward
At Xylem, we understand that water treatment is not just about protecting process performance—it’s about protecting people, ecosystems, and communities. With every deployment of UV and Ozone systems, with each rental unit delivered during a crisis, we help customers move toward a more resilient and sustainable water future.
Whether you’re looking for a long-term investment in greener disinfection, or a trusted partner for urgent rental needs, Xylem delivers water treatment solutions that make a difference.
