07.24.26 -- Catalyst Discovery Could Aid Drinking Water Treatment

Designing and optimizing mixing solutions doesn't have to mean costly trial and error. Xylem's Flygt Mixers now offer advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) services—a smarter, data-driven approach that uses specialized software to create a digital simulation of your specific tank and fluid dynamics. Before a single piece of equipment is installed, our engineers can visualize flow patterns, velocity, and turbulence in a virtual environment to eliminate dead zones, optimize mixer placement, and boost energy efficiency. Learn more about Xylem's CFD capabilities and explore our CFD white paper for submersible mixer design.

Whether you're designing a new facility or resolving persistent challenges in an existing one, Flygt CFD services deliver the insights you need. Our engineers can optimize mixer placement to eliminate dead zones, design systems that do more with less power, and diagnose hidden issues—like poor flow distribution or sedimentation—without draining your tanks. Ready to make confident, cost-effective decisions? Partner with Xylem's Flygt Mixers and contact our team to get started, or explore the Flygt low-speed mixer range and see how Xylem's adaptable mixer cuts energy costs by up to 50%.

Single-future design assumptions are no longer sufficient. See what scenario modelling reveals about building treatment infrastructure that performs across decades of uncertainty.

Avoiding common pilot testing mistakes helps utilities improve technology selection, generate more reliable data, and increase confidence in full-scale treatment performance.

Once a pH sensor is installed in the process and operating, how do you determine when it is time to take the sensor out of the process and do a cleaning, or a calibration? Does one perform both a cleaning and a calibration or just a cleaning, or just a calibration?

Emergency pipe repairs demand speed and accuracy. Custom engineered fittings ensure reliability in non-standard conditions, minimizing downtime, avoiding costly damage, and restoring service with precision and efficiency.

In this article, we’ll discuss how many companies are losing thousands of dollars each year to compressed air system leaks. We will address where leaks commonly occur, leak detection methods, and practical advice for an audit and repair plan.

Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems are critical for industries where hygiene and contamination control are mandatory — such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Wastewater is tough on grinder cutters. Damaging abrasion wear and metal corrosion are caused by daily gritty material and acidic conditions in sewage. The combination of an abrasive and corrosive environment accelerates the loss of cutter material, resulting in the loss of cutter thickness and tooth edges.

Of all the challenges wastewater treatment plants face, screening debris from the flow at the headworks is one of the first encountered. Until recently, that has involved choosing one screen size to accommodate both average and peak flows or installing two different screen sizes.

Rosethorne WWTP is located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, just west of New Orleans. The plant was constructed in the mid-1990s with a design capacity of 400,000 GPD. During Hurricane Katrina, the plant suffered considerable damage to its mechanical infrastructure, and even after repairs, its effluent was unable to comply with regulatory discharge permit requirements since the storm.

Improve efficiency and water quality with demand-based flushing. The integration of sensors and smart networks allows utilities to remotely monitor and optimize flushing cycles.

With both water and power customers to serve, the City of Dothan, Alabama, needed an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solution that could work as well with 35,000 water meters located in pits as it did with 31,000 electric meters wired to homes.

Advanced side stream filtration protects sensitive cooling infrastructure in data centers, extending membrane life, reducing water and energy use, and preventing costly downtime caused by particulate-loaded cooling water.
