Effective decarbonization of German industry – and with it, the achievement of the climate targets with a secure energy supply at the same time – is unthinkable without the expansion of hydrogen technologies. Since they are a carbon-free energy source, they do not release any emissions during combustion. Hydrogen is also suitable as a storage […]
Yorkshire Water, which provides water services to 5 million people in England, was spending too much time managing pump blockages at hundreds of pumping stations. To solve the problem, the utility tested Xylem’s intelligent Flygt Concertor N pump at a problematic site. After the pump eliminated all blockages, Yorkshire Water has now deployed the pump […]
A Qdos CWT (Conveying Wave Technology) chemical metering pump ran for over 21 months dosing chlorine at Ergon – West Virginia Inc.’s paraffinic refinery in Newell, West Virginia in the United States, after replacing a diaphragm pump which lasted less than half the time on average. The Qdos CWT pump, which is now available with […]
In northeast Oregon in the U.S., the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) is managing a project to replenish freshwater mussels, a “First Food” of the tribes.

The Kariba Dam holds back the world’s largest artificial reservoir and generates power for millions of people in Zambia and Zimbabwe. A recent study of the dam showed how it affects the release of greenhouse gas emissions in the reservoir and downstream. Using Xylem’s YSI EXO2 multiparameter sonde for continuous monitoring, researchers gained new insights […]
Pins in particular are critical to parts and components during potting processes. If the miniature contacts become contaminated with glue, the electrical conductivity suffers, along with the component quality. Staiger – a company based in Erligheim in the German state of Baden-Württemberg – has automated the potting of 2-component adhesives in magnetic heads for solenoid […]
Water technology is playing a crucial role in an urban regeneration project to connect Rome and the Vatican City for the Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee.
