Water is the fuel of industrial progress.
And Dow innovation is the engine that makes
everything work better.

It takes 10 liters of water to produce one sheet of paper. 91 liters
to manufacture one pound of plastic. And 10,855 liters to make
a single pair of jeans.

In every industry — from steel and paper to chemicals and
energy to textile and food products—water is integral to the
manufacturing process. Water cools and heats. It washes and
scrubs. And it’s a key ingredient in the finished product. No
factory can run—and no company can operate—without water.
No one understands its importance to industry better than Dow.

Today’s economic and environmental realities have created new challenges.
The demands on industry have never been greater. Costs are higher. Margins
are lower. Yet standards are more rigorous than ever. Companies everywhere
are being forced to do more with less. At Dow, we understand the pressures
manufacturers face today, and we’re committed to finding viable solutions to
address them. Are you looking to upgrade your systems to provide higher quality
water? Are you having difficulty meeting quality requirements because you draw
from so many disparate water sources? Do you need to expand your plant but
have minimal room to add equipment? Let Dow Water & Process Solutions
help you figure out the right solution that makes sense.

Reverse Osmosis (RO)                                                                Ultrafiltration (UF)
Globally accepted technology for the removal of dissolved                           A pressure-driven membrane separation process that separates
solids, including silica, from various water sources and for                        particulate matter from soluble components in the carrier fluid

  industrial applications, DOW™ FILMTEC™elements are considered
  the gold standard in element design and fabrication—making                        • Systems designed with DOW ™ Ultrafiltration modules use an
  possible the highest water purity, highest productivity and lowest                   outside-in flow configuration which allows for less plugging, higher
  total cost of water.                                                                 solids loading, higher flow area and easy cleaning. They also use

Ion Exchange (IX)                                                                   Electrodeionization (EDI)
The reversible interchange of ions between a solid and a liquid                     Continuous and chemical-free process of removing ionized and
such as water; IX resins act as “chemical adsorbents” for                           ionizable species from feed water using DC power. Typically
effective removal of liquid contaminants.                                           used to polish reverse osmosis permeate.
• A high recovery (>95%) technology, IX is used for effectively removing            • EDI eliminates the need to store and handle hazardous chemicals
  ionic species, for industrial softening and polishing high-purity                    used for resin regeneration, making it an attractive alternative to

• Dow’s packed bed portfolio provides design flexibility to tailor                  • Patented DOW ™ EDI modules optimize performance, maintain
  the system configuration to the project needs, while lowering                        continuous product quality and can produce up to 18 MΩ-cm
  regenerant consumption and reducing system footprint.                                high-purity water with high silica and boron rejection.
