MUNICH, Germany (May 23, 2016) – Xylem announced that it will launch a new wastewater pumping technology at the IFAT trade show in Munich, happening May 30 through June 3. Tomas Brannemo, Xylem Senior Vice President and President Transport, will unveil the new Flygt brand system at the event at Xylem’s booth on May 30.
“We are very much looking forward to launching this new technology on the market—a game-changer for the wastewater industry—and showcasing it to our customers,” Brannemo said. “This is a very powerful, ground-breaking system that will revolutionize the wastewater industry.”
IFAT bills itself as the world's leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management.
At the show, Xylem will also launch a new Flygt-branded compact plug-and-play pump controller with advanced monitoring and control capabilities designed to optimize wastewater pumping efficiency. The self-contained, intuitive controller with powerful pre-programmed functionality enables operators to quickly and easily install and configure the unit to match specific wastewater pumping needs.
Xylem recently launched its highly efficient Sanitaire TurboMAX blowers, which will be featured at IFAT. Aeration systems in wastewater treatment plants typically account for about half of a plant’s energy use, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Energy Efficiency in Water and Wastewater Facilities: A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs.” Xylem’s Sanitaire TurboMAX high-speed turbo blower line offers high-efficiency, low-maintenance blower technology to reduce energy consumption and operating costs, with the blowers typically up to 30 to 40 percent more efficient than positive displacement blowers, according to Xylem tests.
The Flygt 4320, Xylem’s high-efficiency, low-speed submersible wastewater mixer that can help reduce energy costs by as much as 50 percent, will be exhibited at the show. Unlike conventional submersible mixers, Flygt 4320 offers built-in speed regulation to optimize operators’ control over the mixer’s thrust, enabling consistent process results while reducing energy consumption.
Xylem’s pressure boosting system Lowara GT HV will also be showcased at the event. This is a fully automatic and variable speed pressure booster system for both municipal and industrial applications, including irrigation. Lowara pressure boosting systems use advanced technology to maximize the energy efficiency of delivering water at the desired pressure.
