The Dow Chemical Company announced the inaugural shipment of its DOW FILMTEC™ RO elements from its new Saudi Arabia Dow Water & Process Solutions’ (DW&PS) Jubail Operations manufacturing facility. This first shipment is targeted to serve emerging markets. A first of its kind built outside the US, the new RO production facility came on-stream in December 2015 to better serve the local market and help meet aggressively growing demands for RO in the Middle East and Africa regions, as well as eastern Europe, India, China and Southeast Asia.
