NEW ORLEANS (Sept. 30, 2014) – Xylem Inc. has won a 2014 Innovative Technology Award from the Water Environment Federation (WEF) for the company’s revolutionary wastewater pumping solution, Flygt Experior. Flygt Experior’s clog-resistant design has been successfully field tested and proven to reduce energy consumption. The award was presented to Xylem at the Water Environment Federation’s Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC), the largest conference of its kind in North America. WEFTEC took place in the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, Sept. 27-Oct. 1.

Flygt Experior pumps incorporate N-technology hydraulics, premium efficiency motors and intelligent controls.

The muscle of the Flygt Experior is the premium efficiency motor coupled with adaptive N-hydraulics that complement the clog-free N-impeller. N-technology is suited for speed regulation as self-cleaning functionality is facilitated independently of rotational speed. Flygt SmartRun controls are pre-programmed with algorithms specifically designed for wastewater systems.

The self-cleaning Adaptive N-impeller was recognized by WEF as the greatest technology innovation during 2011.

Xylem is a global water technology provider, enabling customers to transport, treat, test and efficiently use water in public utility, residential and commercial building services, industrial and agricultural settings.
