Kurita America, part of the leading global provider of industrial water treatment solutions the Kurita Group, has announced the introduction of Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology in the North American marketplace. Originally developed by parent company, Kurita Water Industries, in Japan, this patent-pending Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology is designed to increase operating efficiency, improve productivity, and conserve energy in industrial production facilities.
Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology is dosed continuously into the steam line in front of the target heat exchanger to increase the water repellency of surfaces, which greatly enhances heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, steam consumption can be reduced, which leads to decrease fuel consumption and ultimately, lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The steam generated from the boiler releases latent heat when condensing on the surface of the heat exchanger and stays in a film form. This is a significant factor inhibiting heat conduction in production processes. Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology eliminates this thin water film, and can reduce steam consumption by 5 – 10%, according to Kurita’s field results.
“We are very excited to offer this unique technology to our customers here in the US and Canada,” said Joe Hoyt, Director of Heavy Industry. “Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology has helped our customers around the world cut costs while also reducing water use and carbon emissions.”
Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology is part of a portfolio of Value+ solutions that refers to specific products, technologies, and business models that are highly effective in saving water and reducing GHG emissions and industrial waste. Kurita’s Value+ technologies also help improve plant productivity and profitability across multiple industries, including paper & pulp, oil and gas, and chemical and hydrocarbon production processes.
