The Dow Chemical Company is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Midland, Michigan, United States. The company was among the three largest chemical producers in the world in 2021.[1] It is the operating subsidiary of Dow Inc., a publicly traded holding company incorporated under Delaware law.[2]
With a presence in around 160 countries, it employs about 36,000 people worldwide.[3] Dow has been called the "chemical companies' chemical company",[4] as its sales are to other industries rather than directly to end-use consumers. Dow is a member of the American Chemistry Council.[5]
In 2015, Dow and fellow chemical company DuPont agreed to a corporate reorganization involving the merger of Dow and DuPont followed by a separation into three different entities. The plan commenced in 2017, when Dow and DuPont merged to form DowDuPont, and was finalized in April 2019, when the materials science division was spun off from DowDuPont and took the name of the Dow Chemical Company.[6][7][8][9]

Memorandum of Understanding
On October 2011, The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a multi-year research collaboration to jointly develop the next generation of materials for advanced battery technologies.
Dow and Argonne will be collaborating on several new materials with the intent to improve the performance, cost competitiveness and adoption of these advanced materials in the energy storage industry.
See Dow and Argonne National Laboratory collaborating on new battery materials for additional details.
Efficiency of advanced mixing equipment
Argonne National Laboratory works with the Dow Chemical Company to help them optimize the efficiency of advanced mixing equipment. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the team will model the complex flow inside gas-liquid turbulent jet mixers used in chemical manufacturing. Then, they will optimize the internal design of the mixing equipment to maximize the performance with minimal energy use. This will be done using a combination of the CFD model and Argonne’s unique machine learning (ML) tool known as ActivO.
The project has the potential for enormous energy savings. When used effectively, turbulent jet mixers use 2-3 times less energy than traditional mechanical mixing equipment. On top of the energy savings, the adoption of this technology will allow Dow to reduce downtimes, saving millions of dollars per plant.
Chemical Exposure Index Guide
Dow Chemical developed the Chemical Exposure Index (CEI) to help its engineers design and operate safer facilities. This seminal guide to rating the relative acute health hazard potential of a chemical release to workers and the neighboring community is available to the chemical process community. The index uses a methodology for estimating airborne quantity released, which allows for more sophisticated process analyses.
