    China Blue Star Membrane Technology Co. will install FILMTEC™ reverse osmosis (RO) elements, manufactured by the Dow Chemical Company, in an advanced wastewater reclamation project in TaiYuan ShanXi province. The Chinese government granted approval to Shanxi Taiyaun Steel Company to use national funds to build a completely new US$ 600-million stainless steel production with high purity water treatment needs.
