Award celebrates advancements in water
purification and reuse technologies and launch of digital Water
Solutions Sustainability Navigator
WILMINGTON,
Del., Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont Water
Solutions received a 2025 BIG Innovation Award from the Business
Intelligence Group for its technology advancements to more
sustainably purify, conserve and reuse water. Judges also
highlighted the value of the Water Solutions Sustainability
Navigator, a new digital tool created by DuPont to help water
producers estimate and compare key sustainability indicators of
various water treatment technologies.
DuPont Water Solutions continuously advances the
performance of its membranes, resins, and systems for use by water
treatment municipalities, seawater desalination plants, and
industrial water users. DuPont's product innovations are driving
multiple benefits within the water sector, including the reduction
of carbon emissions, reduced energy consumption and waste and,
ultimately, lower costs to operate.
In one example, DuPont's advanced FilmTec™ BW30
PRO-400 RO elements were developed to transform salty water sources
into freshwater to secure water access for industrial, energy, or
municipal users using lower operating pressures, as compared to the
previous versions. The product, originally launched in 2022, was
featured in this recent avoided emissions case study published
by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
(WBCSD).
DuPont also recently developed the Water
Solutions Sustainability Navigator, the first digital tool to help
users compare how different potential water treatment scenarios
impact sustainability indicators such as carbon emissions,
chemicals used, wastewater produced, solid-waste generated, and
footprint needed—with calculations and indicators validated for ISO
compliance by a third-party. Currently, the tool allows users to
input four different water treatment technologies—reverse osmosis
(RO), ultrafiltration (UF), ion exchange resins (IER) and membrane
bioreactors (MBR)—used alone or in combination.
"As we innovate to improve the performance of our
products and solutions—from advanced membranes, resins, and systems
to digital tools---we strive to help our customers purify and
produce water with less energy and waste—contributing to a lower
cost of ownership and total cost of water," said Jeroen Bloemhard, Vice President and General
Manager, DuPont Water Solutions. "We thank the Business
Intelligence Group for recognizing our contributions to improving
the world with our bold innovation in water treatment
technologies."
"Humanity relies on innovation to improve our
lives and the planet," said Russ
Fordyce, CEO of the Business Intelligence Group. "We're
thrilled to spotlight the individuals, companies, and products
driving these advancements and making a profound impact
globally."
DuPont Water Solutions' technologies are helping
to purify more than 50 million gallons of water every minute in 112
countries across the world. DuPont offers market-leading
technologies to address a variety of challenges faced by water
treatment municipalities, seawater desalination plants, and
industrial water users, including the microelectronics industry,
through a broad portfolio of membranes, resins and complete
systems. The team is also innovating solutions that can help
balance the world's growing water and energy demands, with products
that support the production of electricity, lithium and green
hydrogen.
The 2025 BIG Innovation Awards represent the
pinnacle of achievement in innovation. Judges, comprising seasoned
business leaders and executives, evaluated submissions on
creativity, impact, and measurable results. For more about the BIG
