WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 26, 2013--
Xylem Inc. (NYSE:XYL), a leading global water technology company
focused on addressing the world’s most challenging water issues,
announced today that it has won a contract worth RMB 11.48 million (U.S.
$1.87 million) to provide an ozone generation and introduction system to
help ensure a safe municipal water supply in the Jinshan district of
Shanghai.
“We are honored to have been chosen to help provide high quality and
safe potable water for the Jinshan district in Shanghai,” said Shuping
Lu, vice president and country director for Xylem China. “This contract
is a meaningful example of how Xylem’s reliable and efficient technology
is supporting urbanization in the region, as it is the largest ozone
contract in China to date.”
Xylem will provide its WEDECO-branded ozone generation and introduction
system as well as the accompanying accessories. The company will also
provide Xylem’s integrated service package, TotalCareSM for
the Jinshan First Water Plant, which has a capacity of 400,000 tons of
water per day and serves the entire Jinshan district, one of the largest
districts in Shanghai.
Located on the southwest coast of Shanghai, the Jinshan district has an
area of 379 square miles, a 14-mile coastline and a permanent population
of 730,000. As the city of Shanghai has grown, Jinshan has experienced
rapid changes, evolving from a relatively rural area to a more crowded
suburb with an industrial zone, requiring a more reliable and efficient
water treatment system.
