Spanish and U.S. Companies Recognized for World-class Water Stewardship
Spanish water utility Consorci d'Aigües de Tarragona and Oklahoma-based Mingo Aerospace (a Sunvair Group Company) have been recognized as leaders in water stewardship by global water technology company, Xylem (NYSE: XYL).
Xylem’s Sustainability Excellence Awards celebrate companies using technologies in innovative ways to solve critical water challenges and advance sustainability. A sector leader in sustainability, Xylem is committed to helping customers and communities achieve their environmental goals.
Consorci d'Aigües de Tarragona (CAT), winner in the utility category, supplies water to 800,000 people and essential industries in Spain’s water-stressed Catalonia region. Following a major pipeline failure in 2020, the utility deployed a structural digital twin to provide live monitoring of its infrastructure. The technology streamlined CAT’s preventative maintenance and reduced its operational costs by €1 million. The transformative approach to asset management enabled CAT to minimize pipe breaks and leaks, lowering annual water use by more than 25,000 cubic meters (6.6 million gallons) – equivalent to more than 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools – and reducing energy use and emissions.
“The digital twin is helping improve service for our customers and supporting our sustainability goals. We have already prevented a pipe breakage that could have resulted in a 15-day outage for 800,000 people. By avoiding leaks and major outages, we minimize the risk of disruption to our community and businesses, while using less water and reducing emissions,” said Joan Alginet, President of CAT.
Mingo Aerospace, winner in the industrial category, implemented a closed-loop wastewater system to safely and efficiently manage wastewater used in aircraft component manufacturing. The system introduced by the Oklahoma-based aircraft repair and manufacturing company treats potentially hazardous process wastewater for reuse rather than discharging it, protecting local waterways, and reducing water use by 189 cubic meters (50,000 gallons) per year. The digitally monitored system has also simplified regulatory compliance for the company and the city related to time- and cost-intensive testing.
“With the closed-loop wastewater recycling system, we have reduced our reliance on freshwater sources and eliminated the need to discharge wastewater into local waterways. We have also simplified our operations because digital monitoring of the wastewater system reduces the requirement for day-to-day manual testing,” said Dale Roberts, President of Mingo Aerospace.
“Around the world, water managers are demonstrating their commitment to accelerating sustainability practices and recognizing technology’s role in helping them get there,” said Austin Alexander, Vice President of Sustainability and Social Impact at Xylem. “Pioneers like CAT and Mingo Aerospace set the standard for water stewardship with innovative technology strategies that enable their organizations to deliver business and sustainability wins, hand-in-hand.”
Held annually, the Sustainability Excellence Awards recognize customers for excellence in water stewardship. The Awards highlight customers for their use of new or existing technologies in innovative, sustainable ways, as well as customers who have made significant strides in water and energy efficiency.

Pure Lithium Announces New York Series B Roadshow6.11.2024 21:10:00 CET | Press Release
Pure Lithium Corporation, a disruptive Boston-based vertically-integrated lithium metal battery technology company, is pleased to announce that it will conduct a roadshow in New York the week of November 18, 2024 to promote its $75M to $100M Q1 2025 Series B fundraise. The funds will support the scale-up of the Company’s technology towards commercial lithium metal battery production and a potential Initial Public Offering of the company. Lithium metal is the "holy grail" of energy storage, a step change beyond today's lithium-ion battery. It does not require graphite, nickel, cobalt and manganese, eliminating dependence on China and enabling local battery hubs in favorable jurisdictions for the first time ever. Since opening its Boston lab in January of 2021, Pure Lithium has made impressive strides towards commercializing the lithium metal battery. This year, the Company raised $20M in its Series A.5 with Oxy Low Carbon Ventures as the lead investor. Major progress has been made on a

Building a World-Class Synthetic Biology Lab: Asymchem’s Self-Developed STAR System Empowers Protein Design6.11.2024 17:00:00 CET | Press Release
Asymchem (stock code: 002821.SZ/6821.HK), a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has created an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to address key challenges in protein design. This platform, known as STAR (Sequence Recommendation via Artificial Intelligence), was successfully developed by Asymchem’s Center of Synthetic Biology Technology (CSBT) and AI team. The team published a paper titled “STAR: A Web Server for Assisting Directed Protein Evolution with Machine Learning” in ACS Omega, detailing the system’s ability to integrate multiple machine learning models and sequence encoding methods. One major challenge in protein engineering is the number of mutations that need to be generated and screened. This can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. STAR dramatically accelerates this process. By leveraging machine learning, the platform quickly identifies critical regions for mutation. This reduces the number of experimental samples to just a few hundr
