The products will alleviate the dual challenge facing industrial water users of water costs at the front end and discharge fees at the other. In addition, facilities that are reusing and recycling now have to treat water that is more fouled and therefore more expensive to treat.

The product line consists of four new elements helping meet customer needs in challenging waters across various markets such as fossil power generation, chemical & petrochemical, steel & metal and textiles. The products include the Dow Filmtec Fortilife CR100 Element which is engineered specifically for plants where biofouling is a problem. The element offers reduced cleanings up to 50%, improved cleaning results and lower energy costs up to 10%.

The Dow Filmtec Fortilife XC70, XC80 and XC-N Elements offer advantages for plants looking to reduce costly concentrate waste, lower operating expenses and achieve MLD goals. Among the many advantages, these products will help maximize water recovery in MLD related applications and minimize daily operational expense.
