KemSep® flocculants & coagulants

Flocculants & coagulants for oilfield operations

Flocculants & coagulants for oilfield operations

Water management in the oil and gas industry is of growing concern for oil sands mining, stimulation, production and drilling operations. Maximizing water quality for discharge or reuse is often a critical element in meeting the environmental requirements of the process and a key contributor to lowering the total cost of operations. We offer a wide selection of flocculants and coagulants designed for water and wastewater treatment in oil and gas processes.

  1. Improving tailings treatment is a priority for oil sands mining companies. At Kemira, we develop solutions that can effectively treat increasing volumes of tailings and ensure our customers meet the strict standards set by environmental regulations.

    Coagulants & flocculants

    Finding a solution for the unique demands of each tailings treatment operation requires close cooperation with the customer. Together, we develop tailored flocculant and coagulant packages/solutions to accelerate tailings dewatering, while improving the quality of the released water.

    Optimized performance through on-site support

    The composition of tailings can change over time and at different locations across the pond. Effective monitoring and optimization are key to ensure both qualitative and quantitative targets for the dewatering process are met. By combining our chemistry, services and the correct polymer make-down and injection equipment, we provide a turnkey solution that offers improved efficiency and optimized performance in tailings management.

  2. Improving water quality for discharge or reuse is often a critical element in meeting environmental requirements and to lowering the total cost of oilfield operations. The optimal combination of the flocculant and coagulant chemistries offers the most cost-effective water treatment program.

    Kemira’s well established position in water treatment industries allows us to offer a wide range of products into oilfield applications.
