Dow Water & Process solutions introduces the TEQUATIC PLUS fine particle filter
Dow Water & Process Solutions, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, today announced the launch of an innovative product for demanding water environments: the TEQUATIC™ PLUS fine particle filter. With its patented design, the TEQUATIC PLUS filter combines the power of continuously cleaning, cross-flow filtration with centrifugal separation into one novel device that is specifically designed to handle a wide range of difficult-to-treat feedwaters much more consistently and cost-effectively than traditional technologies.
The TEQUATIC PLUS filter is produced by Clean Filtration Technologies LLC ("CFT"), which became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company in April 2012. According to Cedella Beazley, CFT general manager, the TEQUATIC PLUS filter is a breakthrough in the difficult-to-treat water space, reliably handling very high and highly variable Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
"Working together, CFT and Dow have accelerated technology development to an unprecedented level, resulting in an early market introduction of this exciting solution," Beazley said. "By adding the TEQUATIC PLUS filter to its line-up, Dow Water & Process Solutions can now meet needs for fine particle filtration, continuing its commitment to offer customers the most complete portfolio of advanced water purification solutions."
According to John Patrin, CFT strategic marketing manager, "The TEQUATIC PLUS filter provides a cost-effective solution to customers that no other product offers. This includes the ability to filter water with high and variable solids with almost no maintenance, fouling and backwash cycles, and no need for cartridge filters. This adds up to lower maintenance and consumables costs, and very high uptimes – all of which contribute to a lower cost of ownership."
Patrin also cites several environmental and safety advantages for customers looking to enhance the sustainability of their operations. "The TEQUATIC PLUS filter requires minimal filter changes and chemicals which minimizes handling hazards and disposal, helping to reduce the impact on the environment," he said.
Applications for the TEQUATIC PLUS filter range from pretreatment for ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, to filtering produced water for oil and gas. The product can be used as an alternative or a complement to traditional filtration technologies. The TEQUATIC PLUS filter is currently available in various flow rates with filter cut-offs from 10 - 55 microns to meet specific customer needs.
"Looking ahead, the CFT team already has in development the next generation of technology for the TEQUATIC PLUS filter with the goal of providing customers with a full suite of innovative particle filtration solutions for difficult-to-treat feedwaters," Beazley said.
