Description
Dow Terneuzen reuses
municipal household
wastewater twice in its
manufacturing process
Sustainability Profile
Dow accepts 10,000 m of water every
24 hours and purifies more than 70
percent of it to generate steam for its
manufacturing plants
Reduced energy use equivalent to
lowering CO2 emissions by 5,000 tons per
year
Process reduces the energy use for water
purification by 65 percent

WATER WITHDRAWALS
Industry-leading technologies
For producing water for cooling, boilers, and ultra-pure uses, as well as
ingredient water or cleaning-produced wastewater for discharge or reuse
Solutions for maximizing water production to minimize plant shutdowns
Expertise in separation technologies to help optimize water efficiency
The Challenge
By 2030, analysts predict available water
supplies will satisfy only 60% of demand.
Dows Solution
DOW FILMTEC ECO Elements deliver
up to 40% lower salt passage, while
consuming 30% less energy than the
industry standard element.

The Challenge
Mining industry is focused on developing
more sustainable operations for ore removal
and water reuse in operations.
Acid Mine Drainage represents challenging
water waste due to low pH, high specific
conductivity, and high concentrations of
heavy metals.
The Solution
New Dow FILMTEC nanofiltration
membranes demonstrated in Acid Mine
Drainage waters.
