The upgraded design enhances productivity and efficiency, enabling operators to achieve higher output with lower energy consumption of 6-10% and up to 30% reduced initial pressure drop.
The nanofiltration element also incorporates improved membrane chemistry and structural durability, which help extend operational life and reduce fouling. The product is suitable for a wide range of feedwater conditions and can be integrated into existing treatment systems with minimal modification.
The launch supports DuPont’s strategy to grow its water treatment and sustainability business. The company continues to invest in membrane technologies for applications, such as drinking water, wastewater reuse and desalination. The upgraded nanofiltration element targets a high-growth market driven by urbanization, water scarcity, and tighter quality standards, while reinforcing the role of advanced membranes in improving efficiency and water reliability.
