chemical industry water treatment Applications

Water treatment systems for chemical industry

The effluents that accrue in the cleaning process of silo vehicles and containers for transportation of raw materials for the chemical industry, are highly complex and constantly changing in the composition of wastewater. Flocculation as the prior art of treatment for chemical waste water can not remove many of the completely dissolved invisible substances. Thus, the residual stresses are evident despite high claritv of the `Treated effluent` is often well above the levels witch are applicable for wastewater in domestic environments.

Water treatment chemicals for the automotive industry

Immense global competition has compelled the automobile industry to optimize processes and improve energy efficiency. Continuous and effective production processes are key factors to meeting these challenges.

Our highly qualified engineers will gladly advise you on how to increase plant lifecycle and reduce energy costs.

Water treatment chemicals for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry

Resource consumption in the chemical industry is enormous. Although the industry has already succeeded in significantly reducing its energy demands, it remains challenged by high energy costs, high water consumption and increasingly stringent regulations. Energy efficiency, increased production and plant availability are therefore important factors contributing to a competitive advantage. We would be glad to support you. Kurita offers a broad spectrum of resource-saving solutions as well as solutions for improving production and plant safety.

Water treatment chemicals for the manufacturing industry

In all industrial sectors, productivity and economic efficiency are the main factors for sustainable success. Reliable and durable production plants together with their cooling, boiler and waste water systems therefore play an important role. For more than 60 years, Kurita has specialized in water and process treatment. Our 5,200 employees work on behalf of our customers worldwide in a variety of industrial fields. Our individual treatment concepts and competent service help ensure the safe and economical operation of their facilities.

Water treatment chemicals for the paper industry

The paper and board industry is in a geographic and structural transition. The industry is addressed by rising legal, economic and ecological demands which require a high level of innovation. As a leading global provider of unique solutions for industries that use water and energy intensively Kurita has a strong commitment to paper. We have a proven expertise in the supply and application of benchmarking products and technologies that support the paper industry in developing innovative products, optimizing processes and in reducing costs, energy, water and waste.

Water treatment chemicals for power plants industry

Today’s power industry is already subject to strict official regulations. These rules will only become more stringent in the future. As a result, environmentally friendly, cost-effective solutions that ensure plant and operational safety are in high demand.

Wastewater treatment for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry

The water from pharmaceutical companies can cause big troubles because of the high variability in their manufacturing processes. Depending on the kind of raw materials used, the effluents may even be toxic, hence why the most conflictive effluents have to be separated from the rest and not to be sent to the general treatment.

Wastewater Treatment for the Chemical industry

In addition to the food industry, biological anaerobic and aerobic technologies can be applied in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry as well.

Typical for the chemical and pharmaceutical waste water is the high organic pollution, which is often limited to only a few components that can be present in high concentration. Every production site has its own unique effluent composition.

This type of effluents require tailor-made solutions. The Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) process and the External Circulation Sludge Bed (ECSB) process from HydroThane are worldwide proven processes for the treatment of this type waste water.

Some chemical /pharmaceutical production processes where anaerobic technology has been applied are:
- Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA)
- Phenol
- DMT
- Penicillin
- Insulin.

Water treatment chemicals for the desalination of sea water industry

Water is our most precious commodity. Drinking water is becoming more and more scarce as a result of rising demand and the drying up of resources. Particularly in arid regions such as the Middle East, Africa and increasingly in Southern Europe, the situation is deteriorating dramatically.

Water treatment chemicals for the refinery and petrochemical industry

Highly complex processes in refinery and petrochemical plants demand the competent handling of operational facilities and products. Water and process treatment also have to meet these requirements in order to ensure plant and system safety. Kurita offers you precisely this security: with decades of experience, we advise and support you in the various fields of application. Take advantage of our know-how and our customer proximity.

Water treatment chemicals for the steel and coke industry

The many production facilities within the steel industry, e.g. the blast furnace, converter, continuous caster, hot and cold strip mills and the coke oven plant require immense quantities of water for the cooling circuits and for gas scrubbing. During the last few years, the majority of steel plants have managed to significantly reduce freshwater usage per ton of steel through water recycling and process optimization. However, the high water quality standards required for the water circuits and regulations for waste water remain unchanged, resulting in an increased demand for professional water treatment.

Chemical Water Treatment for waste water

Kurita develops products and solutions for the waste water treatment to improve the water quality and respect the legislation and the environment. Due to increased environmental sensitivity and today’s legislative restrictions, most industrial plants which use water already have wastewater treatment plants. The different Kurita Technologies carefully adapts to the needs of each plant through the optimization and improving the water quality and reducing your operating costs. Improve the water reuse in your facilities and work closely with our customers to reduce the discharges to a minimum level is one of our main targets.

Non-chemical water treatment for the manufacturing industry

Water treatment chemicals for the food & beverage industry

The food and beverage industry is suffering from severe economic pressure. Efficient and continuous production processes are therefore business critical. By choosing Kurita concepts for your cooling water, boiler water and waste water plants as well as your reverse osmosis systems and autoclaves – all of which are specially adapted to your needs – you opt for economic and ecological treatment, leading to more productivity and cost-efficiency.

Chemical filtration in water for the wastewater industry

In the field of waste water treatment atech membranes are used, for example, for the filtration of cleaning chemicals (surface treatment), for cell separation after biological processes, or for the recycling of paints and lacquers.
