Dow Chemical (China) Co., Ltd. is a global leader in science and technology, focusing on improving the core elements driving human progress. With a commitment to sustainability, the company addresses challenges such as clean water access, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and agricultural productivity. Dow operates in specialty chemicals, advanced materials, agricultural sciences, and plastics, offering products and services to customers in over 160 countries. In 2009, Dow achieved annual sales of $45 billion, employing 52,000 people globally and operating 214 manufacturing sites across 37 countries, offering over 5,000 products.

In 2006, Dow established the Dow Center in Shanghai, and in 2007, partnered with Fulton to install four dual-fuel boilers. These include three FBD-7.0-1.0-3P hot water boilers for balancing temperatures in laboratories and offices, and one RB-2500-1.0 steam boiler for humidity control. For over a decade, the boilers have operated efficiently.

In 2019, Dow retrofitted the boilers to comply with local environmental standards.The three FBD-7.0-1.0-3P boilers were upgraded with Johnson Controls' ultra-low nitrogen burners, and one FBS-4-1.0-3P steam boiler was replaced. After the retrofit, NOx emissions were reduced to just 13mg/m3, well below Shanghai's 50mg/m3 limit.
