Xylem and Visenti partner to improve water distribution in Singapore

Water technology company Xylem has agreed to form a joint partnership with Singapore-based Visenti to develop a smarter water network in Singapore by using energy-efficient technology and smart sensing platforms.

The objective of the joint partnership will be to reduce energy consumption, maximise water quality and ensure optimal network condition of the Singaporean water infrastructure.

Both companies will use real-time data and analysis from the water distribution network to improve energy efficiency, identify system inefficiencies and encourage informed decision-making by the network operator.

Xylem will combine its water transport and water-sensing products with Visenti’s WaterWiSe technology, which provides end-to-end real time monitoring solution.

Xylem president and CEO Gretchen McClain said that both companies are committed to developing solutions that will allow the operators to improve the health and efficiency of their distribution network.

The joint partnership will also develop improved in-network sensing platforms to monitor parameters such as flow, pressure and water quality together with energy-efficient equipment for water distribution.

"Together we will implement cutting-edge system solutions to reduce energy consumption and water loss, and improve the quality of the water throughout the distribution network," added McClain.
