Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • DuPont's WAVE PRO combines ultrafiltration, ion exchange, reverse osmosis and nanofiltration.
  • The platform cuts data-entry errors and improves cost projections by linking process interdependencies.
  • Advanced configurations support recycle streams and closed-loop conditions for complex water projects.

DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (DD - Free Report) has introduced a major progress in its Water Application Value Engine (WAVE PRO), an advanced online water treatment modeling platform that now integrates ultrafiltration, ion exchange resins, reverse osmosis and nanofiltration into a single comprehensive tool.

The enhanced platform supports applications ranging from drinking water, industrial utility water, to wastewater and seawater desalination, enabling a more accurate, data-driven system that optimizes membrane and energy use, extends asset life and helps reduce the environmental footprint of water treatment.

By minimizing the need for separate simulations, WAVE PRO reduces manual data-entry errors while capturing the interdependencies between technologies, resulting in a more realistic and cost-effective projection system. The upgraded platform also offers more flexibility for complex projects by supporting advanced multi-process configurations, including recycle streams and closed-loop conditions.

WAVE PRO integrates DuPont's portfolio of water technologies, including IntegraTec and Inge ultrafiltration modules, AmberLite ion exchange resins, and FilmTec reverse osmosis and nanofiltration elements, within a single integrated digital ecosystem, helping municipalities and industrial water treatment while supporting global sustainability goals.

DD’s shares have slumped 40.4% over the past year compared with the industry’s 5.1% decline.
