Fine Particle Filter Proves Effective in Multiple Customer Applications

After its launch less than a year ago, TEQUATICTM PLUS fine particle filter from Dow Water & Process Solutions (DW&PS) (USA), a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, is already proving its value to customers across multiple applications in China.   With its patented design, the TEQUATICTM PLUS filter combines the power of continuous cleaning, cross-flow filtration with centrifugal separation and solids collection into one device, and has stepped up to the challenge of effectively treating difficult water.   Unlike other technologies, the TEQUATICTM PLUS filter allows customers to consistently filter high and variable solids while achieving a water recovery that’s typically 99 percent or more.   “The TEQUATICTM PLUS filer is enhancing the benefits for customers through reduced maintenance, fouling and backwash cycles,” said Dr. John Patrin, global marketing manager of the Filtration Business Unit of DW&PS. “These benefits can lead to high uptimes and lower labor and consumables costs, all of which contribute to lower operational expenses.”   Applications include industrial wastewater treatment and reuse, produced water for oil and gas, desalination and industrial water treatment. Vertical markets range from food and beverage and pulp and paper to textile and laundry.   “After its introduction into the Chinese marketplace last year, the TEQUATIC PLUS fine particle filter has seen success with customers across the country,” said Christina Fang, Greater China commercial director for DW&PS. “The filter has enabled higher recovery of valuable solids in the water, reduction of solids along with cost and maintenance reductions.”   The TEQUATIC PLUS filter is produced by Clean Filtration Technologies LLC (“CFT”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. The filter requires minimal filter changes and chemicals which helps customers reduce the footprint of their operations through less disposal, minimal handling and less space along with potential energy efficiencies. Adept at handling solids from 1 to 10,000 mg/L without frequent filter changes, TEQUATIC PLUS filter is a breakthrough technology that treats tough water reliably, consistently and cost-effectively.
