Recognized as a Key Contributor to the Water Project of the
Year – the Jiaxing Drinking Water Upgrade Project in
China
WILMINGTON, Del., May 15, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- DuPont Water Solutions has been named Water
Technology Company of the Year, presented at the Global Water
Awards, for innovating solutions to sustainably address the hardest
global water challenges.
In addition to receiving this award, DuPont was also recognized
as a significant contributor to the Water Project of the Year
award, which was the Jiaxing Drinking Water Upgrade Project in
China. As part of the largest
nanofiltration (NF) drinking water plant in the world, DuPont's
FilmTec™ nanofiltration membranes were deployed to address
pollutants in municipal drinking water sources—unlocking a new raw
water source, boosting Jiaxing's water security and offering a new
model for water supply for China's
growing population.
"We are extremely honored to be named Water Technology Company
of the Year and stand with our customers in support of the Water
Project of the Year—both honors recognizing our team's dedication
to innovation and sustainably solving global water challenges,"
said Alan Chan, Vice President and
General Manager, DuPont Water Solutions. "To increase the
availability of safe, affordable water for both domestic and
industrial use, we need to shift our mindsets to realize that all
water has value—and leverage technologies to optimize the circular
nature of all water. From bringing safe and clean drinking water to
millions of people to minimizing the environmental impact of
industrial water treatment, our team is driven by our purpose and
very proud to be recognized by our peers."
From wastewater to ultrapure water, DuPont's innovative
technologies allow for the purification, conservation, and reuse of
the hardest to treat water – enabling customers to meet their goals
for water stewardship, circularity and waste reduction, and
greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. As an example, DuPont 's
FilmTec™ Prime RO is a new portfolio of reverse osmosis (RO)
membranes for industrial applications that provide sustainable
solutions for its customers. Prime RO elements require up to 20
percent less energy while improving permeate quality by up to 60
percent. To read more examples of how DuPont has helped both
municipal water producers and industrial water user meet goals for
water stewardship and water access, see DuPont's recently released
2023 Sustainability Report.
DuPont's water technologies help purify more than 50 million
gallons of water every minute around the world, enable water reuse
and recycling, desalination, and the safe access of both ground and
surface water. DuPont offers solutions to a variety of water and
sustainability challenges faced by industrial water users and water
treatment municipalities through a broad portfolio of membranes,
resins and systems (including reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, ion
exchange resins (IEX), ultrafiltration (UF), electrodeionization
(EDI), nanofiltration (NF), membrane bioreactor systems (MBR),
membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABR), and closed-circuit
reverse osmosis (CCRO) systems).
In addition to innovating sustainable water solutions, DuPont is
working with customers, governments, NGOs and thought leaders to
uncover a wide variety of solutions to enable a safe, affordable
and ample water supply now and for generations to come. For
global water operators, DuPont maintains 100+ hours of training to
ensure the most efficient treatment and use of water in their
operations. Collaborating with WaterEquity, DuPont recently joined
a collective investment with other corporations in the Water
Resilience Coalition (WRC) to increase access to safe water
and sanitation for 5 million people across Asia, Africa,
and Latin America. DuPont also
supports Economist Impact on the City Water Index to help
cities optimize urban water systems to better deliver safe,
reliable water and sustainable access to water—now and in the
future. .
The 2023 Global Water Awards, announced at the Global Water
Summit on May 9, recognize excellence
across the entire international water industry within several
categories and reward impactful initiatives in the water,
wastewater and desalination sectors that are moving the industry
forward.
