Consumers want their tissue products to be both soft and strong. For the tissue manufacturers, this requirement has always been a troublesome one because of the rule of thumb: when the softness increases, strength decreases, and vice versa.
From climate change to eutrophication, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are adapting their operations in the face of environmental challenges. A recent Life Cycle Assessment suggests that the best way for wastewater treatment plants to improve their energy balance and overall sustainability is a tailored mix of chemical and biological treatment methods.
Startups are like speed boats. They’re lightning fast and can quickly turn course when needed. Corporations, like Kemira, are cruise ships. They’re big, safe and move along rather predictably. What happens when a speed boat and a cruise ship want to dock at the same destination, and both want to get there first?
How can water utilities comply with tightening regulations while reducing energy use, raw material consumption, and carbon intensity at the same time? Proven digital solutions are available to replace manual dosing and guesswork.
I am Jonna Jyrämä and I was happy to be able to do my master’s thesis at Kemira at the Research Center in Espoo, Finland during spring 2021. My thesis dealt with the topic “Repulping of Dispersion Coated Board” and it was carried out as part of a larger research entity in the Sizing & Performance team.
At Kemira, we’re helping water utilities harness the power of data to reduce energy use, raw material consumption, and carbon intensity. Learn how major cities have collaborated with us to implement digital solutions for sustainable wastewater treatment.
As the speed of paper machines increases and recycled fibers are more and more used, the demands for retention and drainage performance and machine cleanliness increase as well. Kemira introduces quick inversion polymer technology that helps paper and board producers to tackle the challenges of modern papermaking.
Kemira’s new research center in Shanghai, China is accelerating innovation in Asia - a sign of our company’s commitment to employees, customers and sustainable chemistry that enables more renewable, biodegradable and recyclable products.
A new paper machine start-up is a challenging and complex project. But if you choose your partners wisely, one thing you don’t have to worry about is the chemistry management.
At Kemira, we have aligned our business and research strategy with specific United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this commitment, we are creating more renewable, biodegradable and recyclable products based on biopolymers.
