DuPont Launches Ultrafiltration Modules With Integrated Pre-Filter
- DuPont (NYSE: DD) announced the launch of Inge™ ultrafiltration modules with integrated pre-filter (iP-F) on April 7, 2026.
- Conventional ultrafiltration plant processes typically require a separate pre-filtration manifold to remove particulates and debris.
- The iP-F modules maintain the same dimensions, drinking water certifications, and membrane materials as existing Inge™ UF modules.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) announced the launch of Inge™ ultrafiltration modules with integrated pre-filter (iP-F) on April 7, 2026. The new product line is designed for use in seawater and drinking water applications, combining two distinct filtration steps into a single module housing.
Conventional ultrafiltration plant processes typically require a separate pre-filtration manifold to remove particulates and debris. By integrating the pre-filter directly into the ultrafiltration module, DuPont aims to reduce the overall plant footprint and lower the capital and operational costs associated with standalone pre-filtration units.
Technical Specifications and Application
The iP-F modules maintain the same dimensions, drinking water certifications, and membrane materials as existing Inge™ UF modules. The integrated design is specifically targeted at scenarios where space efficiency and streamlined operations are critical, including:
- New plant installations
- Plant expansions
- Containerized systems
According to the company, these modules are capable of providing pathogen removal, consistent permeate quality, and tolerance to swings in feedwater quality while occupying a smaller footprint than traditional UF plant designs or conventional media filters.

By combining pre-filtration and ultrafiltration into a single unit operation, Inge™ ultrafiltration modules with integrated pre-filter will help customers simplify plant design while protecting their UF membrane investment
Yontz further stated that the integration results in a more compact, efficient solution that supports reliable performance across a range of water qualities

Design and Modeling
To assist customers in assessing treatment configurations and overall process design, DuPont has made its WAVE PRO modeling software available. This software allows users to evaluate various system performance and design scenarios for the new modules.
The launch occurs as DuPont continues to scale its water solutions business. The company reports that its current water solutions purify more than 50 million gallons per minute across 112 countries.
Market Reaction
Following the announcement on April 7, 2026, DuPont’s stock (DD) saw a slight decline of 0.09%, reflecting a mild negative market reaction on the day of publication.
