Reduce Operating Costs and Increase Efficiencies

Balancing utility costs with water quality can be a struggle for food and beverage facilities. By providing comprehensive water and process solutions through our integrated approach of chemistry, equipment and automation, we help our customers reduce energy and water usage, pollutant discharge and chemical feed. Kurita America's customized Reverse Osmosis (RO) units for steam boilers provide a return on investment in energy and chemical savings by increasing boiler feedwater quality, and our reuse and reclamation systems reduce the use of fresh water for plant operations.

Overtreating your wastewater system can result in excessive chemical costs, and inefficient facility operations can lead to costly surcharges or fines. Kurita America's wastewater treatment experts will conduct an extensive plant survey to understand your equipment and regulatory restrictions while working as an extension of your team to establish an integrated treatment plan for your facility to increase efficiency and minimize operational costs.

Thermal Processing

Scale, corrosion, deposits and microbiological fouling are common problems in sterilization equipment. Hydrostatic cookers, retorts, autoclaves and aseptic processing equipment are all prone to stressful conditions because of the high pressure and temperatures within the vessel. Kurita America’s thermal processing expertise allows us to design a water treatment program unique to our customer’s particular process that protects equipment from corrosion and fouling concerns.
