Kurita America has introduced Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology in the North American marketplace.
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 a decrease in fuel consumption and ultimately, lower greenhouse gas (GHG) 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 and pulp, oil and gas, and chemical and hydrocarbon production processes.
