system for one of the largest districts in
Shanghai.
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., September
26, 2013 – Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL) 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.
