Kurita Advances Sustainable Industry with Smart Water Tech
Imagine if water could be precisely calibrated like a scientific instrument, tailored to meet specific industrial requirements. This vision drives Kurita Industries' "Wisdom of Water" philosophy, transforming water treatment through science-based solutions that enhance both production efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Water's apparent simplicity belies its complex composition. Different industries demand vastly different water specifications, from manufacturing processes to environmental applications. Kurita Industries leverages decades of technical expertise to deliver customized water treatment systems that remove impurities and elevate water quality to exacting standards—not merely providing pure water, but creating a foundation for industrial advancement.
Kurita's water treatment systems remove diverse contaminants, delivering ideal water conditions across industries. From ultrapure water for semiconductor manufacturing to boiler feedwater and food production applications, the company provides stable, reliable solutions that optimize both production output and product quality.
In electronics manufacturing, microscopic contaminants can significantly impact product yield. Kurita's ultrapure water systems employ multi-stage filtration and purification to achieve near-theoretical H₂O purity, eliminating ions, heavy metals, organic compounds, and dissolved gases. The integrated system combines pretreatment units, primary purification (RO membranes and ion exchange resins), and subsystems (UV sterilization and UF membranes) to maintain exceptional purity throughout production processes. When paired with water recycling systems, these solutions enable significant water conservation through closed-loop reuse.
Effective pretreatment ensures stable operation of ultrapure water systems. Kurita's pretreatment solutions remove suspended solids, particulates, and organic matter from source water, protecting downstream purification equipment while reducing maintenance requirements and operational costs.
Industrial wastewater often contains hazardous substances requiring specialized treatment. Kurita's wastewater systems provide industry-specific solutions that meet discharge standards while minimizing environmental impact, supporting sustainable industrial development through technological innovation.
Conventional biological wastewater treatment generates substantial residual sludge, increasing disposal costs and environmental burdens. Kurita's Bio-Plant™ SR aerobic treatment system applies ecological food chain principles to dramatically reduce sludge production. By optimizing aeration methods and incorporating specialized bacterial growth media, the system maintains stable microbial communities that efficiently degrade organic pollutants even with fluctuating wastewater conditions. Compared to traditional activated sludge processes, Bio-Plant™ SR significantly decreases waste generation while maintaining treatment efficiency.
Kurita Industries continues to develop innovative water solutions grounded in the principle that water sustains all life. Through collaborative partnerships across industries, the company addresses global water challenges while advancing sustainable development goals.
