DuPont Expands Water Solutions as Analysts Raise Price Targets on DD

DuPont de Nemours, Inc. has expanded its industrial water treatment portfolio by introducing four new high-flow Electrodeionization modules. The new units, designated EDI-520, EDI-820, EDI-530, and EDI-830, provide nominal product-water flow rates of 5 or 8 cubic meters per hour. Joined by the existing EDI-310 module, the lineup now covers 2 to 8 cubic meters per hour. The company designed the chemical-free, plate-and-frame technology to support high-purity water needs across industries including power generation, green hydrogen, and semiconductor manufacturing.
