Dow remains committed to improving access to higher quality, affordable and sustainable water supplies. Arsenic is a naturally-occurring, toxic contaminant in many drinking water sources. Removal of arsenic to very low levels is important to providing safe drinking water in many regions of the world.
Developed by Dow specialists, ADSORBSIA™ GTO™ arsenic removal media traps two common forms of arsenic and allows the water to pass through. It then maintains a strong hold on the removed arsenic, allowing for efficient, safe and easy use. This media is being used in many water treatment systems across the U.S. and Europe.
Compared to other arsenic removal systems, systems using ADSORBSIA GTO media demonstrate improved performance and capabilities, including faster flow rates and higher capacities as well as being smaller and less expensive for the user. In addition, these systems minimize chemical storage and usage, and maximize the ease of waste disposal.
This kind of innovative thinking and collaborative effort is just one example of how the Human Element at Dow is contributing to more sustainable chemistry solutions.
