Description of the Partner activities

As a world market leader in the non-chemical treatment of water, Xylem offers environmentally friendly, healthy and residue-free forward-looking technologies to solve the most challenging water issues — treating water to make it potable, transporting it to where it is needed, using it in the most efficient manner, and then testing and cleaning it after its many uses.

Xylem is the world’s largest provider of water and wastewater treatment solutions and a leading provider of intelligent industrial pumps and related technologies.

With more than 250,000 installations worldwide, Xylem is the world's largest manufacturer of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and ozone oxidation systems.

Maximum customer benefit is provided by a comprehensive combination of standardized systems and engineered solutions for treatment of potable water, process water, cooling water, industrial and municipal wastewater, residential water, water from bleaching processes and other industrial applications (e.g. coating processes). Xylem is also engaged in improving the performance and economic efficiency of UV technology by designing new generation of high performance low pressure UV lamps.

Role of the Partner in LIMPID

Xylem/WEDECO will be involved in testing the potential efficiency of potential new nanocomposite materials in the aqueous phase (lab scale).

Moreover Xylem will consult for the process of technological application by feeding in market requirements and customer needs.

Also Xylem will be involved in the scale-up of photocatalytic processes – if so- by designing tailored UV reactors (or at least small scale prototype(s))to be used with the new polymer-supported catalysts prepared by other partners.
