Kemira has been in water treatment since the 1960s. We are world leaders in process know-how, supplying reliability and a broad portfolio of products. Our experience and knowledge in drinking water production is profound. We have resources to cover multiple applications – from chemical precipitation to comprehensive process optimization.
All raw water is unique. Some of it contains organic decomposition products and sand/clay particles. Some contains algae, bacteria and viruses. And the pH may vary in a wide range. Chemical treatment of raw water for production of potable water is therefore of a great importance. And this is where our skills are most valuable.
We have 100 years of experience as a producer of inorganic coagulants and today we are the leading producer of coagulants based on aluminium and/or iron raw materials. Our wide range of coagulants makes it possible to get the best treatment effect at lowest costs. Coagulants specially designed for drinking water treatment improve the quality of the final water. Our products offer special performance that gives several benefits compared to conventional staple products:
- Excellent particle reduction
- Reduction of organic matter
- Low dosing
- Low production of sludge
- Low alkalinity consumption
- Low aluminium residual
- Broader pH interval for coagulation
- Rapid floc formation
We have the knowledge to develop and produce tailor-made products for special applications. The combination of high-technology products and skilled personal has given us the lead position as a supplier of coagulants for drinking water treatment.
Water is fundamental for life. And clean water is necessary for good quality of life.
