There is increased awareness of how much water is consumed for industrial purposes and the large, unnecessary burden placed on local municipalities and other industries. Government regulations and corporate sustainability goals drive necessary action to reduce the impact of industrial water. Reducing freshwater consumption may not be enough to achieve these goals, and industrial users are turning to an alternative and immediately accessible source of water instead – wastewater.
While readily available, industrial wastewater tends to be one of the more challenging waters to treat due to high chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), total suspended solids (TSS), and total dissolved solids (TDS).
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR reverse osmosis elements, coupled with DuPont™ AmberLite™ ion exchange resins and DuPont™ IntegraTec™ ultrafiltration modules and skids, are specifically designed to address the challenges of industrial wastewater treatment. Our products provide reliable and effective wastewater treatment solutions, allowing for less cleaning, more recovery, and less waste.
During pretreatment, the sufficient removal of total suspended solids and colloids in wastewater creates quality feedwater for in-depth treatment and reuse processes. This ensures the efficient and stable operation of facilities using reverse osmosis systems.
DuPont™ IntegraTec™ ultrafiltration (UF) modules and skids can be used for pretreatment by removing particulates from soluble compounds and ultimately reducing TSS levels. DuPont offers a wide selection of UF modules, skids, and systems that provide solutions to maintain lowest total cost of ownership while managing reliable and profitable operations:
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ reverse osmosis elements help to remove total dissolved solids from wastewater while reducing water costs, minimizing fouling problems, and helping to move towards zero liquid discharge.
The FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR reverse osmosis (RO) elements offer RO modules expertly designed to produce high-quality permeate water suitable for reuse while reducing the required frequency of cleanings in biological and organic fouling-prone systems. Simultaneously, this helps increase uptime and water productivity while decreasing chemical usage.
AmberLite™ ion exchange resins for softening remove cations associated with hardness (such as Ca and Mg) from industrial wastewater to avoid scale formation caused by precipitation of sparingly soluble salts like calcium carbonate. Ion exchange resins (IER) can also remove bicarbonate alkalinity associated with scaling.

Our FilmTec™ nanofiltration elements can assist in overcoming the challenges of leachate water treatment, helping to achieve consistent permeate water quality through excellent COD and color removal, while partially removing hardness.
Our minimal liquid discharge integrated technologies provide improved cost savings, recovery, and environmental stewardship than traditional ZLD processes.
Industrial wastewater has incredible potential as a source of valuable resources. Our nanofiltration elements can help recover salts and minerals while increasing the sustainability and affordability of water recycling systems.
