Cooling Water Treatment Solutions

Maximizing heat transfer efficiency, preserving critical assets, minimizing water consumption, ensuring environmental compliance and stewardship, and mitigating risks of pathogens to human health are key priorities for owners and operators of cooling systems. Effective cooling water treatment programs help achieve these outcomes while maintaining reliable system performance and minimizing total operating costs.

Kurita America provides world-class cooling water treatment solutions for industrial, commercial, and institutional customers. Cooling water systems include open evaporative cooling towers used in industrial processes, evaporative condensers, and HVAC systems, as well as closed loop and once-through systems. Our experts support every stage of system operation, from pretreatment strategies and treatment program design to safe handling and storage of cooling water treatment chemicals, advanced Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring and control technologies, and service plans designed
to optimize overall cooling system performance.
