Xylem and Gross-Wen Technologies announce commercial partnership to advance industrial wastewater treatment solutions
Agreement accelerates growth into the industrial wastewater market and builds on successful deployment of complementary technologies
Gross-Wen Technologies (GWT), a provider of advanced wastewater treatment solutions, today announced a commercial partnership with Xylem, a global leader in water technology. The agreement positions GWT to accelerate expansion into the industrial wastewater sector, where tightening nutrient regulations and sustainability demands are driving adoption of integrated treatment solutions.
As part of the partnership, Xylem and GWT have entered into a commercial agreement focused on deploying complementary solutions for industrial facilities, including those utilizing anaerobic digestion processes. The collaboration combines Xylem’s established anaerobic treatment platform with GWT’s patented nutrient removal technology, Revolving Algal Biofilm™ (RAB™), to deliver a more comprehensive wastewater compliance solution for industrial operators.
The strategic alignment builds on demonstrated field compatibility between the two technologies. Both companies were selected independently for a major industrial wastewater project in Pasco, Washington, where their respective systems were deployed to meet stringent state nutrient discharge requirements. While the companies were not formal partners at the time, the successful implementation highlighted how the technologies work together to address both organic loading and nutrient removal, creating a scalable model for future integrated deployments under the new partnership.
