Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology
A Sustainable Technology for Petrochemical Facilities & Refineries
Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology
Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology is designed to increase operating efficiency, improve productivity, and conserve energy in industrial production facilities. Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology is dosed continuously into the steam line in front of the target heat exchanger, creating a water-repellent film on the heat transfer surfaces.
Methods for Increasing Heat Transfer Rate on Steam Condensation Surfaces: Dropwise
As compared to the traditional filmwise process, the next generation of condensation has arrived for the petrochemical facilities. Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology is dosed continuously into the steam line in front of the target heat exchanger to create a water-repellent film on the heat transfer surfaces. This technology can improve productivity and reliability while reducing steam consumption. The increased heat transfer efficiency ensures plants meet operational and sustainability goals.
Increase Productivity
Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology can generate additional production capacity due to increased efficiencies while requiring less energy. Your system will run more effectively and for longer periods of time while being protected.
Improve Reliability
Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology can improve the reliability of your plant by preventing unplanned shutdowns. When your system is clean, your equipment is protected. Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology cleans and protects your system, allowing for your system to run smoothly.
Decrease Energy Consumption
Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology decreases heat transfer resistance, so the required steam load is reduced. Because of this, you use less fuel in your system to maintain the target production rate.
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
By reducing fuel use, CO2 emissions will also be minimized for those locations, targeting in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
