The IntegraFlux Ultrafiltration (UF) Modules from Dow Water Process Solutions, a business unit of the Dow Chemical Company, featuring XP fibre, a high-performance, breakthrough fibre that delivers high quality water at a lower cost, was launched at the recently held Aquatech China, in Shanghai, and received the show’s “Best Technology Innovation Award” in the membrane category.

With up to 35 per cent higher permeability than previous generation ultrafiltration fibre, XP fibre provides higher flux, higher water recovery, lower waste, and reduced energy use – providing industry leading productivity with a small footprint.

In a statement, Cedella Beazley, business unit director for filtration at Dow Water & Process Solutions said, “The new XP fibres boosts UF productivity and efficiency while helping to lower capital and operating expenses – ultimately improving water treatment system operation while lowering the cost of water.”

IntegraFlux Modules and IntegraPac Skids with XP fibres are an excellent choice for industrial and municipal markets that are demanding higher productivity water filtration solutions. Water treatment plants will have the ability to lower their operational and capital costs. The IntegraFlux modules can operate up to 40 per cent higher flux while producing the same transmembrane pressure (TMP) and generate up to 30 per cent less wastewater without sacrificing filtrate water quality. Offering an industry leading membrane area combined with high permeability fibres that provide economical and efficient membrane system design, modules with XP fibre are excellent for systems requiring a small footprint.

A global leader in sustainable separation and purification technology, Dow Water & Process Solutions helps to make water safer and more accessible, food taste better, pharmaceuticals more effective and industries more efficient with the development of sustainable technologies that integrate water and energy requirements.
