Transform your water treatment operations with high performance, renewable, and eco conscious solutions without compromising efficiency
Kuriflock® GT provides a fully biobased alternative to conventional inorganic coagulants and fossil‑based polymers, helping you reduce environmental footprint, meet modern regulatory demands, and optimize plant performance.
Why Kuriflock® GT?
Sustainable chemistry that performs.
Kuriflock® GT is built on naturally sourced biopolymers—tannins, chitosan, starches, and advanced biobased derivatives—engineered to deliver strong coagulation and flocculation outcomes across industrial and municipal applications.
Where Kuriflock® GT Makes a Difference
Kuriflock® GT provides sustainable, efficient water treatment across multiple applications:
Industrial Effluents
Efficiently treats wastewater in Food & Beverage, Pulp & Paper, Steel & Mining, and Petrochemical sectors.
Municipal Wastewater
Enables safer discharge and reuse with eco-friendly chemistry.
Primary & Secondary Clarification
Improves solids removal and water clarity in treatment processes.
Understanding Biobased vs. Biodegradable
Biobased materials are derived from renewable biological sources—but not all are inherently biodegradable. A material can be biobased without being biodegradable, biodegradable without being fully biobased, or possess both qualities. Understanding these differences is crucial to ensure that products meet specific legal requirements and expectations.
Some products in the Kuriflock® GT range are engineered for biodegradability, while others prioritize stable performance in demanding operational environments.
Our Product Portfolio
Kuriflock® GT includes several biopolymer categories tailored for different treatment needs.
Natural polyphenols with strong coagulation and color removal performance.

Expert Q&A
Bio‑based coagulants can represent a reliable alternative to conventional inorganic flocculants in many wastewater treatment applications. Depending on the biopolymer chemistry, they can effectively substitute both iron‑ and aluminum‑based coagulants.
Beyond their renewable and biodegradable origin, bio‑based coagulants often enable significantly lower application dosages and lead to a reduced volume of generated sludge.
These performance characteristics can translate into lower operating costs, reduced sludge handling requirements, and an overall improvement in process efficiency, while maintaining compliance with regulatory discharge limits.
No. Bio‑based products are not necessarily biodegradable. Although they originate from renewable biopolymers, these materials are often chemically modified to meet performance requirements in wastewater treatment. The extent of chemical modification directly influences biodegradability—the higher the modification, the lower the biodegradation potential. Therefore, clear performance and sustainability objectives should be defined before selecting green or bio‑based treatment solutions.
Not universally. The feasibility of replacing polyacrylamides with biopolymers strongly depends on the specific application and must be evaluated on a case‑by‑case basis.
While biopolymers can be tailored in terms of charge density, their molecular chain length is inherently limited by their natural origin. As a result, higher product consumption is often required compared to synthetic polymers.
This limitation is particularly pronounced in high‑performance applications such as sludge dewatering.
Yes. Powdered bio‑based flocculants are typically cold‑water soluble and can be prepared using standard multi‑chamber dissolving and dosing stations designed for polyacrylamides. Dissolution and hydration times are comparable to those of synthetic polymers. In many cases, the resulting polymer solutions exhibit significantly lower viscosity, allowing higher make‑up concentrations to be prepared and enabling compensation for any differences in consumption.
Kurita provides biobased wastewater treatment solutions through its Kuriflock® Green Technology (GT) portfolio, which includes tannin‑, chitosan‑, starch‑based and specialty biopolymer coagulants and flocculants derived from renewable raw materials. These solutions are designed to reduce or replace conventional inorganic coagulants and fossil‑based polymers while delivering reliable solid–liquid separation, clarification, metal removal and sludge dewatering performance in industrial wastewater treatment
