Wastewater
Kurita America is committed to understanding liquid-solids separation (LSS) treatment in the water and wastewater industries and partnering with you to provide a comprehensive solution. We understand the characteristics of process streams and priorities vary greatly, creating a major challenge for the design and operation of liquid-solids separation programs.
Kurita America partners with you to meet your objectives for liquid-solids separation to help develop your water management program, improve operational costs, implement smart technology, or exceed sustainability goals or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. Our LSS treatment experts will conduct a thorough survey and analysis of your facility, establish a baseline, and pinpoint opportunities for improvement. In collaboration with your personnel, they will provide solutions that meet your business needs and compliance goals.
Your LSS treatment priorities are Kurita America’s focus. As your long-term partner, we will provide the best industry chemistries, equipment systems, and smart technology and controls you require to meet regulatory and business goals while maximizing your return on investment.
Kurita America’s extensive suite of liquid solids separation chemical technologies include
- Organic and inorganic coagulants
- Bioaugmentation
- Emulsion, dispersion, dry and solution flocculants
- Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) approved products
- By-product recovery aids
- Water reuse pre-treatments
