Industrial Water Services

Commercial & Institutional

Protect people and facility infrastructure through one accountable water treatment and water management program for safe heating, cooling and potable water.

At Kemira your facility, and your water, is our responsibility. Through our total solutions offering, we connect boilers, cooling towers, closed loops, water safety, monitoring and continuous optimization across diverse buildings and central utilities.

Outcomes – improved safety & sustainability

Reduce water use

Optimize cooling cycles and utility practices to lower water demand.

Improve energy performance

Control scale and protect heat-transfer efficiency in boilers and cooling systems.

Extend asset life

Manage corrosion, fouling and fluid quality across aging infrastructure.

Document progress

Use monitoring and reporting to support campus reviews and sustainability reporting.

Solutions and services for commercial & insitutional

Kemira delivers integrated water solutions across every critical facility system, helping commercial & institutional optimize their water management and maintain efficiency and compliance.

Cooling towers and evaporative systems

Protect cooling and condenser systems while supporting water savings through:

  • Scale, corrosion and biological-fouling control
  • Cycles of concentration optimization
  • Monitoring and service reporting
  • Cleaning and inspection support

Boiler, steam and hot-water systems

Support steam and hot-water reliability through:

  • Oxygen scavenging
  • Scale and corrosion inhibition
  • Condensate-line treatment
  • Blowdown optimization
  • Steam and feedwater performance support

Closed loops and glycol systems

Maintain chilled water, hot water and glycol systems across all facilities through:

  • Multi-metal corrosion inhibition
  • Glycol concentration management
  • pH management
  • Corrosion-coupon monitoring
  • System passivation support

Water management and legionella support

Bring risk assessment, monitoring, documentation, and corrective actions into one campus-wide program through:

  • Campus risk assessment
  • Control-point mapping
  • Sampling and records
  • Corrective-action protocols
  • Staff training and annual review

Total solutions for commercial & institutional

Commercial and institutional buildings need one program architecture with enough flexibility to account for different buildings, water sources, equipment ages and regulatory obligations. Kemira helps c&i connect chemistry, monitoring, field service, compliance support and performance reporting into one total solution.

Audit the full facility

Review boilers, cooling towers, closed loops and other water-bearing systems after which we provide a written assessment.

Design a customer program

We align chemistry, service, monitoring and documentation to campus conditions and priorities.

Optimize continuously

We use regular reviews, trend analysis and annual program assessments to keep improving performance.

Technical field service

On-site troubleshooting, equipment inspection, legionella and compliance program support, and localized expertise backed by broader resources.

KemConnect® Digital services for real-time visibility

As water management issues often remain unseen until they start causing malfunctioning, it’s increasingly important to monitor parameters proactively. Kemira’s digital solution KemConnect® brings the science of water treatment and the power of data together.  

Realtime 24/7 monitoring

Continuous sensor-based process visibility — PTSA tracing, conductivity, pH, hardness. Remote, mobile phone diagnostics detect and prevent pressure drops before downtime occurs.

Predictive analytics & ML dosing

SimAnalytics machine learning platform optimizes chemical dosing in real time through SAP and PI system integrations. Early issue detection reduces downtime risk.

Performance reporting & optimization

Clear, structured reporting drives efficiency, compliance, and long-term operational excellence. At the same time, we use findings to refine treatment, service and facility water performance.

Why water treatment matters

C&I manage a broad variety of buildings often across infrastructure of different ages. 

Kemira helps connect utility treatment, water management plans, legionella programs, performance reporting and ongoing optimization across buildings to:

  • Ensure safety – poorly managed water systems can contribute to legionella and other health risks. Our water management and monitoring services support risk management across occupied buildings.
  • Reduce risk of aging infrastructure – different pipe materials, equipment ages and building types create complex treatment needs. Our water treatment solutions and continuous monitoring increase efficiency and asset life of your systems.
  • Maintain compliance readiness – c&i are obliged to maintain active documentation when it comes to compliance management. Our total solutions program supports compliance reviews thru active documentation, testing and corrective action processes.
  • Support energy and sustainability goals – broader sustainability initiatives at state or nation level require universities & campuses to evaluate water use and resource consumption as boiler and cooling performance influence water, fuel and environmental goals.

Explore application areas

Utility water systems

Protect the systems that keep your facility running. Utility water systems support steam generation, cooling, heat transfer, refrigeration, HVAC and operational continuity. When water chemistry is not managed properly, systems can be exposed to scale, corrosion, fouling and microbiological growth. Kemira helps customers improve reliability, reduce operating costs and optimize critical heat-transfer systems through complete water management, technical service and digital monitoring.

Water quality and pretreatment

Incoming water quality affects boilers, cooling towers, closed loops, membranes, reuse systems and wastewater treatment. Hardness, suspended solids, alkalinity, silica and dissolved minerals can influence scale, corrosion, fouling, chemical demand and operating efficiency. Kemira connects pretreatment decisions with utility systems, wastewater requirements, reuse opportunities, testing, digital monitoring and continuous optimization to ensure that small water quality issues don’t become system-wide costs.

Water management & optimization

Water management is where performance becomes visible. Many facilities have water treatment programs in place, but lack a complete view of performance across systems, vendors, costs and compliance requirements. Gaps between programs can hide risk and make it harder to prove value. At Kemira we help facilities connect audits, analytical services, equipment, legionella management, digital monitoring and continuous optimization across every critical water system.
