Serving the wastewater treatment needs of a rapidly growing population has presented challenges for Stockholm Water. With one of its treatment plants undergoing an upgrade and another close to full capacity, the company is benefiting from Kemira’s expertise to increase capacity with the help of chemical pre-treatment.
SWISS KRONO, a manufacturer of wood-based materials, wanted to safeguard the health and safety of its employees by disinfecting the wastewater generated at their largest production plant. Read how we helped them with the Kemira KemConnect solution.
The Miami-Dade South and Central District Wastewater Treatment Plants in Florida had been struggling with the twin challenges of suboptimal concentrator settling and poor-quality biogas from their anaerobic digesters. Using application expertise and experience from other Floridian customers, Kemira experts knew exactly the right way to tackle both problems at once.

Wichita’s Lower Arkansas Water Reclamation Facility (LAWRF) is the largest wastewater plant in the state of Kansas, treating the wastewater of the surrounding population and using the resultant dewatered sludge to help the local crops to grow. When a problem with struvite scale build-up was causing low throughput and increased downtime, the company turned to Kemira to identify the cause of the issue and see where performance improvements could be made.
The pressure to increase sustainability and move toward a circular economy is common in most sectors, but it’s felt especially keenly in the food and beverage industry. Particularly dairies are looking for ways to close the loop and be more self-sufficient in energy consumption, and biogas is a great way to do this.
With the help of smart chemistry, Danish wastewater treatment company BIOFOS was able to successfully tackle issues related to sludge management and struvite head-on.
With the help of Kemira’s expert support and industry-leading chemistries, the water treatment process at Veurne Snack Foods is not only working more efficiently than ever – it’s also making an even bigger contribution to their bottom line.
There’s no getting away from it – where there’s water treatment, there’s sludge. The more water you treat, the more sludge there is to deal with.
