Florida Cities Meet Increased Water Demand With Reverse Osmosis Membranes

摘要

Two Florida municipalities-Boynton Beach and Fort Pierce-are meeting increasing local drinking water demands with Dow Water Solutions' FILM-TEC~(TM) technology. Boynton Beach replaced older membranes in its water purification system with new, higher-square-footage FILMTEC membranes and added more pressure vessels, enabling increased water output and reduced energy costs. At Fort Pierce, a new train was installed and pressure vessels were added to the two existing trains. By choosing these products, both municipalities were able to bring about incremental water capacity expansions in the short term, without the high capital expenditure associated with adding new equipment beyond the existing system footprint.
