Chemical Island
We offer our customers various faces of outsourcing: from partnership, over the fence supply, satellite plants, on-site plants, up to Chemical Islands and BOO (Build, Own, Operate). When the pulp mill wants to concentrate to its core business saving costs, declining assets and improving the quality of outsourced operations, the right answer is the delegation of non-core operations to us.
As the new pulp mills today are located in areas without infrastructure and far from chemical suppliers locations, there is an increased need for Kemira Chemical Island -solution. Surplus electrical power of remote pulp mills will be used for sodium chlorate and/or for chloralkali production. As ECF-pulp will dominate in the future, chlorine dioxide will be the key chemical – and must be produced on-site. This is a great possibility for effectiveness and synergy between us and our customer.
World class paper maker must also have world class supplier chain. Kemira Chemical Island fullfills our customers expectations of competitiveness: low cost, sound processes and stable results, modern and best available technology and ability to innovate. Kemira Chemical Island is also a promise of reliability of chemical production and purchasing of raw materials under certified management systems. It is a question of a long term strategy.
Although there are no sigle patterns and we always follow the customers needs, Kemira Chemical Island involves typically bleaching chemicals:
Chlorine Dioxide and its precursor Sodium Chlorate
Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda)Oxygen
Hydrogen PeroxideKemira Chemical Islands are located at: Kuusankoski (Finland), partly Sunila (Finland) and Fray Bentos (Uruguay).
