RYE BROOK, N.Y. -- (Business Wire)
Xylem (NYSE:XYL), a leading global water technology company focused on
addressing the world’s most challenging water issues, recently secured a
$1.1 million order for specialized dewatering equipment after
successfully removing flood water at an oil refinery outside the city of
La Plata in Argentina.
As a result of a severe electrical storm, the state-run Ensenada oil
refinery caught fire and the oil refinery’s pump station and surrounding
pathways were completely flooded. Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales
(YPF), which operates the facility, commissioned Xylem to remove the
flood water in order to get the refinery back in operation as soon as
possible.
Four of Xylem’s Godwin dewatering pumps removed a total of 208,000 cubic
meters of water from the refinery. Following removal of the water, YPF
purchased 15 high-power Godwin dewatering pumps in order to be prepared
for future flooding emergencies.
“The Ensenada plant is a significant facility with the capacity of
refining 188,000 barrels of oil on a daily basis,” said Gustavo Chaab,
YPF refinery manager. “It is crucial that a plant of this size have the
ability to restore plant operations quickly following an incident. The
Godwin pumps that we purchased will ensure that we are fully prepared
for such an event in the future.”
With a rental bank of 20,000 products, Xylem offers the world’s leading
range of surface-mounted and submersible dewatering pumps.
