DuPont launches reverse osmosis element for dairy processors

DuPont (NYSE: DD) announced the launch of its FilmTec MXP RO-8038-FF element, a mesh wrapped reverse osmosis solution designed for dairy processing applications.

The new element provides approximately 5 percent higher active membrane area and up to 50 percent greater productivity compared to conventional mesh wrapped elements, according to the company's statement. The technology is engineered for concentrating milk, whey, and lactose streams while supporting higher recovery rates and reduced wastewater generation.

"The FilmTec MXP RO‑8038‑FF element is our answer to our customers who prefer mesh wrapped technology for dairy production—familiar handling with the meaningful productivity gains FilmTec Hypershell XP elements have become known for," said Noel Carr, Global Dairy Market Leader for DuPont Water Solutions.

The element's dimensions align with competitive 8038-sized elements, enabling changeovers in existing dairy facilities without operational modifications. The product is designed as a drop-in solution for dairy processors using mesh wrapped systems.

The launch expands DuPont's FilmTec reverse osmosis element portfolio for dairy applications. The company's dairy product line now includes both FilmTec MXP elements for mesh wrapped systems and FilmTec Hypershell XP elements for applications requiring reduced bypass and easier handling.

DuPont manufactures membrane and ion exchange technologies for life sciences and food industries. The company operates across healthcare, water, construction, and transportation markets.
