Case Study: a 900+ bed hospital in Western Florida reduces bacteria, corrosion, and costs with Kurita America

900+ Bed Hospital Located in Western Florida cuts water treatment costs by 35% with Kurita America

A 900+ bed hospital in western Florida faced significant challenges with bacteria and corrosion in its reclaim water system. The previous biocide program was ineffective against anaerobic bacteria, leading to slime buildup that reduced chiller efficiency and increased maintenance costs. Kurita America was contacted to audit the program and provide a new solution.

Kurita America implemented an integrated solution featuring a Lumyn controller for remote monitoring, a non-oxidizing biocide, a biodispersant, and a specialized corrosion inhibitor. This approach dramatically reduced bacteria levels and cut corrosion rates, providing excellent asset protection. The program also delivered a 35% reduction in costs from the previous year, offering significant savings and increased operational efficiency for the hospital.
