Driving Efficiency, Compliance, and Sustainability in Steel Production 

Steel production requires vast volumes of water for cooling, gas scrubbing, cleaning, and steam generation. Without proper treatment of equipment – including blast furnaces, coke ovens, and continuous casting and rolling mills – facilities observe water-related issues, such as scaling, corrosion, biofouling, and nozzle clogging. 
 
Integrating raw material handling into our process, Kurita delivers high-performance water treatment solutions that help steel manufacturers improve plant uptime and productivity, protect critical assets from corrosion and fouling, reduce water consumption, and meet environmental regulations. 
 
With the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in mind, Kurita is your trusted partner for end-to-end steel industry water treatment solutions. From design and commissioning to ongoing optimization, we work with steel producers to reduce chemical consumption and CO2 emissions production.

With a commitment to asset protection, Kurita provides advanced corrosion and scale inhibitors tailored for the steel industry, biocides designed for high-oil and high-solid systems, and comprehensive closed loop protection solutions. These include innovative products such as Cetamine, specifically developed for cooling water treatment in steel mills. 

To keep equipment running at peak performance, Kurita provides oxygen scavengers, condensate treatment, online cleaning, and corrosion control, ensuring that you have energy-efficient programs to reduce blowdown and fuel consumption. We help protect electric arc furnaces (EAF), blast furnaces and basic oxygen furnaces (BOFs), and finishing lines too. 

Whether the water is being discharged or reused, Kurita has chemicals, equipment, and processes to help you achieve your goals. We offer clarification, filtration, and sludge dewatering for heavy metal and anion removal. Additionally, we offer state-of-the-art zero liquid discharge (ZLD) strategies for sustainable water management in the steel industry. With an understanding of how regulations impact your treatment, Kurita partners with you to ensure standards are met. 

From nozzle clogging prevention to emulsion breakers for tar separation in coke evens, Kurita has a broad portfolio of process water treatment solutions, helping you maintain water quality control without increasing costs. 

Kurita works as part of your team to be there even when you aren’t. Our global water system management offers remote diagnostics and optimization as well as predictive maintenance.
