Dow has technologies dedicated to serving a wide range of water treatment needs. With many areas of the world encountering difficulties to successfully expand supplies from reliable fresh water aquifers for all of their volume needs, other less desired waters are being drawn upon. Sourcing water supplies from surface waters, brackish waters, or seawater is possible with the right tools and can enable communities to tailor a solution for meeting their localized clean water needs.

By supplying products and know-how spanning the range of reverse osmosis (RO) & nanofiltration (NF) elements, ultrafiltration (UF) modules, ion exchange (IX) resins and adsorption media (As), Dow can assist to remove salts, organic and inorganic chemicals, and reduce pathogen exposure to produce safer, better tasting water. Many of our products can also help a Municipality or Community address ever-changing water regulations, providing a wide range of components for treating different water sources.
