FilmTec™ LiNE-XD nanofiltration elements receives Bronze
Edison Award in the Resource Recovery & Environmental
Conservation category
WILMINGTON, Del., April 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE:DD) today announced
that FilmTec™ LiNE-XD nanofiltration membrane elements, the
company's first offering dedicated to lithium brine purification,
was awarded a 2024 Bronze Edison Award™ in the Resource Recovery
& Environmental Conservation category.
"We're honored that FilmTec™ LiNE-XD has been named a Bronze
Edison Award winner for its contributions to increasing access to
new sources of lithium," said Jeroen
Bloemhard, Vice President and General Manager, DuPont Water
Solutions. "With global lithium demand showing no signs of slowing
down, this nanofiltration element can help our customers increase
the availability of lithium from less traditional resources, while
making the extraction process more energy and water efficient."
FilmTec™ LiNE-XD elements feature an advanced, durable
nanofiltration membrane chemistry that helps enable reliable
performance, increased water and lithium recovery, and reduced
energy consumption.
Nanofiltration (NF) is highly efficient, low-energy,
pressure-driven membrane technology that has increased wastewater
reuse and resource recovery in some of the most challenging
industrial wastewater applications—and now enables the production
of lithium from complex brine mixtures.
FilmTec™ LiNE-XD elements are being used to help increase access
to lithium beyond conventional rock mining and tap into resources
such as salt lake brine, geothermal brine, and surface and
sub-surface clay—supporting global momentum towards electrification
and decarbonization.
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 balance the world's growing water and energy demands, with
products that help maximize the availability of electricity,
lithium and green hydrogen.
Technologies include 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 2023, DuPont Water Solutions was named Water Technology
Company of the Year, presented at the Global Water Awards, for
innovating solutions to sustainably address the hardest global
water challenges.
The Edison Awards™ is an annual competition honoring excellence
in new product and service development, marketing, human-centered
design, and innovation. The gold, silver, and bronze winners were
announced at the 2024 Edison Awards Gala in Fort Myers, Florida, on April 18, 2024.
