Reuse to the rescue

According to Dow, global water scarcity and increasing population makes wastewater treatment and recycling a strategic imperative for human and economic development. Large volumes of wastewater are generated daily in every community and at water intensive industrial facilities. As the demand for water grows, so does demand for the treatment and reuse of this water.

Dow’s TEQUATIC PLUS fine particle filter, FILTEC reverse osmosis elements and IntegraFlo ultrafiltration membrane technology make it possible to turn wastewater into a valuable resource, driving energy efficiency and cost savings in municipal and industrial wastewater reclamation processes. In addition, Dow’s selective ion exchange media and adsorbents are helping customers and communities meet more stringent discharge requirements for waters that cannot be reused directly.
