Creston’s wastewater treatment facility treats both domestic and industrial effluent. The Columbia Brewery, which feeds its wastewater to the town, underwent major expansions that significantly increased its wastewater flows. Creston was not equipped to treat the volume of wastewater generated by the brewery. Town officials were eager to solve the problem, especially since the brewery was Creston’s largest employer.

A Gulf Coast chemical plant was faced with an unreliable demineralizer system to meet a proposed expansion of boiler feedwater requirements. In addition, the plant had a wastewater goal of zero liquid discharge. High total dissolved solids (TDS) in a proposed new well-water source threatened to increase demineralizer regeneration frequency, greatly increasing acid and caustic usage.

Bell & Gossett (B&G) pumps are integral to the inside-out retrofit of the first of the buildings, with the Series 80 ITSC vertical inline pumps selected for the transfer from an electric heating system to hydronic distribution. ITSC stands for Integrated Technologic with Sensorless Control, a feature that combines sensorless technology with the energy- savings of variable flow.

The City of Fort Wayne, the second largest city in Indiana, has a proactive water utility that is always looking for innovative ways to optimize water management and better serve their community.

Over approximately five years, Aurora Water observed a notable increase in water main breaks. With limited resources to renew aging infrastructure, the utility’s pipeline replacement program was struggling to keep pace.

Yorkshire Water aimed to transform Sheffield into the UK's first smart water city by embracing innovation to better serve customers and the environment. A key challenge was managing massive amounts of data from 6,000 newly installed sensors and smart meters to derive operational intelligence and improve leak detection across their network. Yorkshire Water partnered with Xylem and Idrica to implement their integrated water utility management software platform, Xylem Vue. This vendor-agnostic solution integrated all of Yorkshire's disparate data sources into a centralized system with modules for leak detection, localization, meter data analytics and customizable dashboards. The platform provided a real-time operational view across their pressure management areas. As a result, Yorkshire has achieved a 57% reduction in visible leaks, 32% less leakage in priority areas, and 30% fewer annual pipeline repairs - helping to control costs, boost performance and minimize environmental impact through data-driven decision intelligence.
