Advance your water efficiency

Water is a critical, limited resource for which we all have an obligation for responsible and sustainable use. Moreover, your industry has unique water filtration and separation challenges to ensure the efficiency of your process and the quality of your product. Your source water has to be purified before you begin using it. Your process water needs filtration so that it can be recycled and reused. Even water that is to be discarded must have industrial contaminants removed before its release into municipal water treatment or the environment.

 

Wherever you get your source water, whatever the steps in your process, and however you treat your wastewater, Solventum has innovative, high-quality and cost-effective solutions. Our robust portfolio of industrial water solutions can help meet the environmental concerns, regulatory requirements and efficiency goals of virtually every industry.

 

With our flexible, high-performance solutions, you can count on: 

Comprehensive approaches that respect local concerns the world over, from initial water use through to waste water management 

  • Efficiency optimized for cost, workload and production time 
  • Innovation that meets your unique needs now and in the future  
  • Reliability and long service life you can count on for uninterrupted production processes

Steam and power generation

Better water use, reduced corrosion and alternatives to chemical treatments can reduce your operational costs, gain process efficiencies and protect your equipment. In turn, that can mean reductions in your own energy use and help to make your power plant more productive. Our solutions can help you optimize water use and reach your efficiency goals.

Machining and metal working

Aluminum can production, as well as cutting, stamping or molding metals in general, all need coolant filtration and efficient solutions to filter water for washing parts. There’s a Solventum industrial water solution for your circular system that can remove detrimental debris and extend the life of washing water, helping to reduce waste and increase efficiency.

Oil and Gas

Many oil and gas producers treat and recycle upstream and midstream-produced water to reduce the need for "fresh" water sources in drilling and fracking. Others rely on water filtration and dissolved gas management for offshore production, amine sweetening and water produced in refining. Solventum has the right filtration solution for each of these complex oil and gas applications.
