We can provide you with environmental recycling and recovery processes, take care of your waste problems, give you the latest technology and the most cost-efficient solution. All uniquely designed to fit your business.
Steel industry
We can offer you a solution for regenerating spent hydrochloric pickling acid and optimizing the treatment of spent pickling acids. Our solutions allow regenerated acid to be returned directly to the pickling process. The effluent streams are recovered as valuable raw material thus creating economic advantages for all parties.
Another solution that is specially designed for the stainless steel industry enables the recovery and recycling of metals and acid from side streams. Typically, this type of side stream comes from pickling lines. Valuable metals such as nickel, chrome and iron can be separated and recovered as valuable raw material, thus creating advantages for all parties. Nickel and recovery yields in excess of 90 per cent can be achieved. Chromium recovery of almost 100 per cent is possible.
Aluminum industry
For the aluminum extrusion and anodizing industry, we have developed a solution for regenerating acids and alkalis. The aluminum is separated from the acid or alkali as valuable filter cake and the acid or alkali can be reused in the anodizing or die tool cleaning process.
Another solution offered by Kemira is specially designed for the aluminum extrusion and anodizing industry. This can help optimize the waste effluent processes and die tool cleaning process. The effluent streams are recovered as valuable raw materials thus creating economic advantages for all parties.
All the above solutions for the steel and aluminum industry include investigation of the customer’s core processes and generation of effluent streams, in order to optimize their treatment. These solutions also include revamping of existing processes or new construction of treatment processes. Finally the treatment processes can be operated by Kemira.
