Dow Water Solutions is honored for water reuse and conservation efforts, helping facilitate industry’s transition to a circular economy

As a result, over 6,000 students, patients, and community members now have access to clean drinking water.

Over the last four decades, advancements in science have enabled reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to effectively remove and separate contaminants and impurities from water at the molecular level. Originally applied to desalinate seawater and brackish water, the use of RO membranes has expanded to include a range of applications. Global Business Director, HP Nanda, highlights how innovation has significantly improved the energy consumption and productivity of RO technology.

Recycling wastewater and closing the resource loop are still growing trends driven by increasing competition for available water and tightening discharge regulations worldwide. Today, we can make the biggest impact by enhancing efficiency, fine-tuning technologies and integrating technology systems to meet unique system and water quality needs. IHS Chemical Week highlights Dow's Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) approach.

As water scarcity continues to increase, industrial manufacturers are under pressure to sustainably optimize their systems by reducing costs and minimizing their environmental footprint.

The global leader in separation and purification technologies will launch its new modeling software WAVE and present its innovative technologies for industrial and residential water sectors, under the theme “Where the solution is clear”.

Located in the Middle East, one of the driest regions in the world, the new desalination plant has a capacity to deliver 281 million liters of safer drinking water per day, helping alleviate water scarcity in the area and positively contributing to the security of water supply in the country.

Municipalities partner with private industry to harness the value of wastewater. Nanette Hermsen and Veronica Garcia Molina of Dow Water & Process Solutions report on available decentralized wastewater treatment technologies that can be used to achieve the water purity required for various purposes.

The quest to optimize water re-use and anticipate regulatory pressures is driving many plants to give increasing attention to their wastewater. Experts in Dow Water & Process Solutions spoke to Chemical Processing magazine about new technologies they are introducing to help wastewater treatment specialists meet these challenges.
