PhosZero™ Corrosion Inhibitor

Proprietary cooling tower corrosion inhibitor, free of phosphorous, zinc, molybdate, chromate, or borate

Maximizes protection against steel corrosion

Ensure high heat transfer and maximum equipment efficiency. Minimizing system corrosion reduces customer maintenance costs and extends equipment life.

Increases Sustainability

Contribute no phosphorus to the treated water while providing corrosion protection similar to or better than traditional phosphate program.

Meet regulatory compliance and animal feed regulations

Lower acid usage vs traditional phosphate-based chemistry.

Cooling Tower
Blowdown Recovery

Cooling Water Reclaimation System

On-site Reuse

Reclaim up to 80% of cooling water blowdown for use as make-up water, reducing freshwater withdrawals.

Seamless Integration

Kurita’s tailored chemistry program ensures seamless integration of equipment into your cooling system and ensure peak performance.

Vitec™ Membrane Antiscalants

The solution to scale problems in membrane systems

Prevent Scale

Vitec antiscalants prevent scale formation on membrane surfaces, ensuring system availability and maintaining performance.

Save Water

Formulations tested for increased recovery rates producing more and discharge less.

Reduce Waste

Scale precipitation can lead to permanently damaged membrane elements or extensive cleaning. Using Vitec prevents unnecessary waste, saves time and money.

Meet Discharge Limits

Targeted proprietary formulations control scale with lower chemical consumption, meeting discharge limits.

Simul-Wash™

Simultaneous Air & Water Backwash System

Advanced Cleaning

Compared to conventional methods, Kurita’s system produces a collapse-pulse action within the media that aggressively scours the particles while releasing filtered solids, overall increasing media life.

Reduced Waste

The collapse-pulse action method uses only a fraction of the water necessary for conventional backwash, reducing waste up to 50%.

Proven Technology

Simul-Wash has been implemented widely across North America for over 40 years, and can be integrated into any Kurita America media filter application.

CorrPro

Final Product Corrosion Inhibitor

Versatile Options

The CorrPro series can contain a fluorescent tracer to confirm dosage, an additional buffer for pHe control, nonflammable, and minimum use rate.

Reduce Corrosive Nature

Corrosion protection ability is certified by independent laboratory analysis.

DReeM Polymer™

Silica and hardness removal polymer for steam generators and boiler systems

Increase Efficiency

Controls and removes silica and hardness scale in low-pressure boilers during normal operation.

Energy Savings

Clean heat transfer surfaces will directly improve boiler efficiency, leading to energy savings and a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions.

Economical Savings

Reduces operational costs by increasing boiler efficiency.

Cetamine^® Corrosion Inhibitor

Water and energy savings for boiler systems

Easy to Apply

Only one product instead of three to treat the whole boiler and steam system.

Energy Savings

Higher efficiency with less water and end energy consumption, and the related reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

Economical Savings

Improved system operation with economical savings for water and energy. Lower costs for boiler treatment chemicals.

OxiOUT

Exclusive Wet Distillers Grains Antioxidant

Preserve Wet Distillers Grains and Corn Oil

Stop mold and oxidation before it turns into feed refusal, mycotoxins, and processing and transport issues.

Safe Effective Alternative

OxiOUT is more effective than propionic acid-based antioxidants as well as typically requires a lower dosage than other products on the market.

ProClean

CIP-Reducing Process Scale Inhibitor

Versatile CIP Adjuncts

Kurita has several ProClean options based on your needs, including bacteria control, mineral and organic deposit removal, caustic soda enhancer and/or supplement, and peracetic acid.

Increase Heat Transfer Efficiency

Reduce CIP events and increase CIP effectiveness with ProClean to improve heat transfer efficiency.

pHytOUT^® Technology

Easy-to-feed Deposit Corrosion Inhibitor

Reduce Operating Costs

Decrease dependency on sulfuric acid and minimize energy costs for distillation, evaporation, and the cooling system.

Increase Plant Productivity

Reduce downtime for CIP events in distillation and evaporation.

Improve Final Product and Coproduct Quality

Minimize the potential of sulfur in final product and coproducts, including WDGs, DDGs, and DDGSs.

Enhance Sustainability

Minimize surfuric acid and cleaning chemicals in favor of a low-dosage enzyme system with reduced fuel costs, overall energy and water savings, and the commensurate reduction of CO₂ emissions.
