DReeM Polymer® - Revolutionary Dispersion Removal Effect Management Polymer for Steam Generators and Boiler Systems
DReeM Polymer® is Kurita’s award-winning solution for maintaining optimal performance in steam generators and boiler systems. This advanced polymer not only prevents scale formation but also removes existing hardness and silica deposits, ensuring efficient and eco-friendly operations.
The unique properties of DReeM Polymer® keep heated surfaces in boiler systems free of scale, directly improving heat transfer efficiency. Clean heat transfer surfaces lead to significant energy savings and a notable reduction in CO2 emissions. Even thin layers of scale can drastically reduce boiler efficiency, requiring more fuel to generate the same amount of steam. DReeM Polymer® excels in tolerating higher levels of silica and hardness in boiler water compared to conventional treatment programs.
Wide Application Across Industries
DReeM Polymer® is extensively used in low-pressure boilers across various industries, allowing water with scale components to be utilized as boiler feed water. This facilitates the reuse of industrial water, reducing the consumption of fresh water. Notably, DReeM Polymer® is compliant with FDA § 173.310, making it suitable for use in the food industry as a boiler water additive for steam that contacts food.
DReeM Polymer Key Benefits
- Controls and removes silica and hardness scale in low-pressure boilers during normal operation
