Dow resins and reverse osmosis membrane technologies are instrumental in helping the world's leading utility, mining and chemical companies eliminate impurities in chemical processing. The result: safer, more cost-effective and energy efficient operations.

Dow Water & Process Solutions’ technology is not only removing impurity, its adding opportunity - helping companies meet regulatory requirements and improving the value of their products.

Catalysis & Chemical Processing Applications

CATALYSIS

Polymeric catalysts are solid catalysts with a bead morphology which are primarily used for the manufacture of bulk and fine chemicals. These resin catalysts can advantageously replace mineral and organic acids and bases in such syntheses as phenol alkylation with olefins, condensation of aldehydes or ketones, esterfication of organic acids, or etherification of olefins with alcohols. Dow Water & Process Solutions’ catalysis technologies support the development and processing of chemicals used in industry every day.

 

 

CHEMICAL PROCESSING

Dow offers numerous process technologies for the purification of chemical compounds. These include distillation, crystallization, stripping, extraction, filtration, chromatography, adsorption and ion exchange.
