Anglian Water optimizes chemical consumption while improving effluent quality with data-driven phosphorus removal

Anglian Water's wastewater treatment plant in southeast England has seen highly promising results from its onsite trials with Kemira KemConnect^® P. This smart digital solution for phosphorus removal has helped them reduce consumption of ferric sulfate by almost 15%%.

Energy-efficient wastewater treatment

The amount of energy consumed in wastewater treatment plants across the world is estimated at 1-3%% of global energy output. Learn how wastewater treatment plants can tackle increasing energy prices, scarcity of resources, and tightening regulations, while maintaining stable and future-proof operations.

African copper producer cuts froth in challenging conditions

A hydrometallurgical facility in the African copper belt was struggling with froth, a common issue in plants that process highly carbonaceous material. Not only was the froth causing operational issues, it constrained capacity, leading to production losses of approximately $5 million a day. Kemira KemFoamX^TM 9980 brought it under control.
