At Kurita, we create shared value with customers and the environment. That’s why we developed our Value+ product portfolio, which aims to enhance productivity while reducing the total cost of operations (TCO) and supporting sustainability goals.
Our range of technologies, products, and services effectively minimizes water, waste, and energy consumption while also lowering carbon emissions.
Condensation Technology
Kurita Dropwise Technology improves productivity and boosts heat transfer efficiency in industrial systems and heat exchangers. The product is dosed continuously into the steam line in front of the target device creating a water repellent film on the surfaces. Increasing the water repellency greatly improves heat transfer efficiency, which helps to optimise productivity. At the same time the steam consumption is reduced leading to less fuel consumption and cutting down costs for water and energy.
Kurita Dropwise Technology is a sustainable technology leading to a reduction of carbon dioxide emission supporting the development of an eco-friendly society.
