Case Study: a large hospital in the United States reduces corrosion and phosphorus discharge with Kurita America’s Tower NG cooling water treatment

Large Hospital reduces corrosion rates by 62% with Kurita America

A large hospital in the United States faced tightening discharge regulations for phosphorous and the risk of substantial fines. While needing to meet these new limits, the hospital also could not compromise on controlling scale and corrosion in its cooling water system, which was previously managed by another provider. Kurita America was engaged to provide a solution using their Tower NG product line.

Kurita America implemented a low phosphorous cooling water treatment program based on their Tower NG technology. This solution allowed the hospital to meet discharge limits, staying under one part per million of phosphorous, while also improving corrosion rates by 62%. The program reduced chemical inventory consumption by 25%, leading to lower freight costs and CO2 emissions, and successfully avoided any discharge fines.
