Xylem

Water management in upstream and midstream processes

Solutions for water movement, treatment and reuse from dirt to consumption

From consulting and design to treatment and reuse

With successful projects across energy and industrial water applications, Xylem brings the experience, treatment expertise, and integrated solutions needed to support complex water treatment projects. From consulting services to water movement, treatment, monitoring, commissioning, and field support Xylem helps energy customers turn challenging water streams into practical reuse opportunities, while maintaining compliance and uptime.Sentec Consultation, part of Xylem, supports Xylem's innovation and new product development activities, while also providing technology evaluation, product development and technical problem-solving services to customers.

Xylem's portfolio provides proven solutions for many upstream and midstream water challenges. When off-the-shelf options are not enough, Sentec works directly with customers to evaluate technologies, development capabilities and bring innovation into practical use. Sentec is doing extensive work in the treatment and reuse of produced water.

Produced water treatment

A produce water site depends on rapid deployment of equipment that withstands harsh environments in remote locations. The treatment solutions, however, can vary from simple and effective, to extremely complex treatment, all based on water chemistry and the treatment goals. Solutions can include remote monitoring which saves man-hours and vehicle maintenance, and complex reuse goals. In all cases success is measured in treated barrels per day and Xylem has the expertise and solutions to maintain uptime at high flow rates.

Water management at refineries

Refineries depend on reliable water systems to maintain safe, efficient operations. Equipment failures, boiler feedwater quality issues, wastewater compliance challenges, and unplanned maintenance can impact production, increase costs, and create operational risk. Xylem delivers mobile, permanent, and emergency water movement and treatment solutions that help maximize uptime, protect critical assets, and meet operational and environmental goals.

Our expertise includes build-own-operate solutions, wastewater treatment, crude unit dewatering, sour water treatment, effluent compliance management, DI water for boilers, and cooling tower blowdown treatment through both mobile and permanent systems.

Reuse possibilities

Nearly every industry is seeking ways to reduce source water consumption, making water reuse a growing priority. Produced water presents unique challenges due to its high salinity, contaminants, and varying chemistry by location. Xylem helps organizations transform produced water into a valuable resource that supports operational, regulatory, and sustainability objectives.

Produced water reuse applications include:

  • Operational reuse (frac water, dust control, boiler feedwater)

  • Treated discharge to meet regulatory requirements

  • Support for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) goals

  • Beneficial reuse opportunities, including irrigation and gray water applications

Xylem Vue

The three largest drivers of operational expenses: Manpower, Fuel/Power, Treatment chemistry. These could be mitigated with better data views: Less travel time, remote problem-solving, accurate effluent readings.The goal is to improve the context in which operators and other decision-makers view their data. Improved operational decisions improve operations.

For companies that have disparate types of equipment utilizing different levels and types of technology, Xylem Vue can provide a holistic dashboard, bringing the data into one usable view.

Xylem Vue can create water balance in real time. The dashboard continually updates with real-time information across the network, from pipeline health to flow rate and effluent measurements.
