Industrial Water Services
Healthcare facilities
Healthcare facilities rely on steam, hot water, cooling and closed-loop systems while also managing water-safety and documentation requirements.
Kemira helps hospitals and healthcare facilities manage boilers, cooling systems, closed loops, water safety programs and performance analytics through a total solutions approach that brings all elements of utility treatment, water management plans, testing and reporting and accountability together.

Total solutions for hospitals & healthcare facilities
A healthcare water program should be designed around the facility’s water chemistry, equipment, regulatory obligations and performance goals. Kemira helps healthcare facilities connect chemistry, monitoring, field service, compliance support and performance reporting into one integrated program.
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 match chemistry, service, monitoring and documentation to the facility’s conditions and priorities.
Optimize continuously
We use regular reviews, trend analysis and annual program assessment 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
For healthcare facilities, water is a critical healthcare asset. A fragmented approach to water management can leave gaps between utility treatment, water management plans, testing, reporting and accountability.
As many facilities are dealing with aging infrastructure, rising utility costs and increasing expectations around water stewardship and resource management the pressure increases to:
- Ensure patient and staff safety – poorly managed water systems can contribute to legionella and other health risks for patients and staff. Our legionella risk management provides proactive support for cooling towers and other water systems where biological risk must be controlled. We continuously test, monitor and treat water to reduce pathogens and trigger emergency responses and remediation plans to protect people, operations and reputation.
- Operational continuity – being always-on is critical for hospitals and healthcare facilities. With our boiler and cooling system treatment programs we ensure reliability to support your around-the-clock facility operations.
- Compliance readiness – hospitals and healthcare facilities 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.
- Cost visibility – broader sustainability initiatives at state or nation level require hospitals and healthcare facilities to evaluate water use, wastewater management and resource consumption. Our performance analytics help connect treatment decisions to water, energy and chemical use.
