Dow Water & Process Solutions helps reuse water for sustainable operation of cooling towers

Dow Water & Process Solutions has announced that guests at Park Hyatt Dubai are being kept cool, thanks to a water recycling project that has, to date, saved enough potable water to fill as many as 62 Olympic-sized swimming pools. At the heart of the recycling project is the Dow membranes technology, a business unit within The Dow Chemical Company, it said.

Dow’s membranes filter and process 148,300 cubic metres of water annually for the hotel that is later used to supply its HVAC towers, which, in turn, help cool the resort’s 225 luxury rooms and suites, the company claimed. The overall system – designed and built by Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies – has helped the hotel save as much as 154,880 cubic meters of potable water since it was launched in 2010, it explained.
