Preface
In commemoration of our company's 50th Anniversary, it gives us great pleasure to share our
accomplishments with our supporters and customers, through the second English edition of our
handbook, the "KURITA HANDBOOK OF WATER TREATMENT."
Founded in 1949, KURITA WATER INDUSTRIES LTD., has become a leader in the field of water
and environmental management. However, we are not satisfied with simply providing water and
sewage treatment facilities, water and process treatment chemicals, and related operational management
equipment and maintenance services. We are also expanding our efforts to improve the global
environment, through such processes as purification of contaminated soil, detoxification of dioxins,
reduction and recycling of excess activated sludge, and immobilization of heavy metals in fly ash
produced from waste incineration facilities.
In the area of water treatment and process treatment chemicals, we have made technological
improvements to ensure efficient operation and contribute to water and energy conservation in
various water systems. We have also addressed critical issues surrounding water system treatment,
such as the reduction of environmental impact through the development of non-phosphorus boiler
compounds, non-hydrazine oxygen scavengers, and low- or non-phosphorus cooling water treatment
chemicals. In addition, we have focused on the important task of ensuring work safety and chemical-
handling safety. Our efforts have been rewarded with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.
We believe that these certifications are proof of our commitment to quality assurance for our
products, and to environmental preservation and improvement.
In order to introduce some of our company's innovative technology and accomplishments in the field
of water treatment chemicals to a global readership, we published the first English edition of our
handbook in 1985. Since then, we have continued working to develop more advanced technology
and improved products. In this second edition, we have described our technologies and products in
as much detail as possible, to ensure that we provide our readers with useful data.
It is reasonable to assume that tomorrow's technological advancements will proceed at a more
dizzying pace than ever. Therefore, intend to continue to update our handbook, which would
otherwise quickly become obsolete. This is the primary reason we have turned to electronic
publishing and have created this handbook in CD-ROM format. As we plan to revise it once every
few years, we are confident that this CD-ROM will provide our readers with the most up-to-date
information.
Our company philosophy is, "Study the properties of water and master them, and we will create an
environment in which nature and man are in harmony." We are committed to developing advanced
technology and products that will contribute to the betterment of our society.
In closing, we would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to the writers and editors
responsible for creating this comprehensive handbook. We hope that this handbook will serve as a
source of useful information for its readers.
