美國明尼蘇達(dá)州埃迪納及中國上海– 2013年7月11日 – 陶氏化學(xué)公司 (NYSE: DOW) 旗下水處理及過程解決方案業(yè)務(wù)部推出的FILMTEC™ ECO 反滲透 (RO) 膜元件，榮獲2013年第六屆Aquatech China上海國際水展和大魚網(wǎng)（原水業(yè)專家網(wǎng)）聯(lián)合舉辦的第四屆最受市場歡迎產(chǎn)品評(píng)選大賽“市場選擇”一等獎(jiǎng)。在6月5日舉辦的水展開幕式上，陶氏水處理及過程解決方案業(yè)務(wù)部 大中華區(qū)商務(wù)總監(jiān)方佩暉女士代表公司領(lǐng)取獎(jiǎng)杯。

“在今年的Aquatech China國際水展上，陶氏FILMTEC™ ECO反滲透膜元件由于其卓越性和突破性而獲獎(jiǎng)，我們感到非常自豪，”方佩暉女士表示。“長久以來，陶氏一直致力于探求創(chuàng)新的水處理解決方案為客戶提供最新的技術(shù)，以幫助客戶取得業(yè)務(wù)成功。此次獲獎(jiǎng)進(jìn)一步彰顯了陶氏對(duì)于客戶的承諾，也體現(xiàn)了陶氏所倡導(dǎo)的“高價(jià)值，高能效，好生態(tài)”創(chuàng)新思維。”

經(jīng)過包括提交詳細(xì)產(chǎn)品資料、網(wǎng)上公眾投票以及本屆上海國際水展委員會(huì)的評(píng)審等完整的申請(qǐng)流程之后，陶氏FILMTEC™ ECO反滲透膜元件，憑借其卓越的性能、有效提高水處理系統(tǒng)運(yùn)行時(shí)間并同時(shí)降低化學(xué)品耗用量等特性，而榮獲最受市場歡迎產(chǎn)品評(píng)選大賽“市場選擇”一等獎(jiǎng)。

陶氏在2013上海國際水展上推出的陶氏FILMTEC™ ECO反滲透膜元件，為客戶提供優(yōu)異的脫鹽率和較低的能耗（在150psi條件下，可實(shí)現(xiàn)業(yè)界領(lǐng)先的99.7%的脫鹽率），與標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的反滲透膜元件相比，F(xiàn)ILMTEC™ ECO產(chǎn)品在透鹽率降低40%的同時(shí)能耗降低30%。此次推出的兩種ECO反滲透膜元件型號(hào)，可滿足客戶在更大范圍內(nèi)對(duì)反滲透水處理的需求。

陶氏FILMTEC™ECO反滲透膜元件對(duì)于中國等地區(qū)是極好的選擇，因?yàn)樵摰貐^(qū)對(duì)純凈且價(jià)廉的供水及生產(chǎn)力的需求都在持續(xù)增長。在中國，人口密集區(qū)、農(nóng)村農(nóng)業(yè)區(qū)和增長的制造業(yè)三個(gè)因素構(gòu)成了對(duì)純凈水源的獨(dú)特需求。憑借在水處理領(lǐng)域30多年的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，陶氏FILMTEC™ ECO反滲透膜元件不僅可以在產(chǎn)水領(lǐng)域降低生產(chǎn)成本，而且有助于解決實(shí)際的水資源稀缺問題。

6月5日-7日在上海舉辦的2013上海國際水展吸引了包括美國、日本、韓國、印度、馬來西亞和荷蘭等30多個(gè)國家和地區(qū)的1300多個(gè)展商和43000多名參觀者。作為亞洲地區(qū)規(guī)模最大、最重要的水處理技術(shù)展會(huì)，Aquatech China國際水展為諸多市場領(lǐng)域提供了最前沿的業(yè)界信息，這些領(lǐng)域包括運(yùn)輸和儲(chǔ)存、水處理、使用點(diǎn)、過程控制技術(shù)和過程自動(dòng)化、研究和咨詢以及供水公用工程和國家展團(tuán)等。
