A reliable supply of chemicals is critical in water treatment

One key item our customers have highlighted in their feedback and complimented our performance on, is the steady and reliable supply of water treatment chemicals we have available. Our extensive network of manufacturing sites is built with this customer need in mind.

Digging deep to add value for Africa’s diverse mining industry

Nicodemus Mautsa and his team leave no stone unturned when seeking exactly the right solutions for mining customers across the diverse and mineral-rich continent of Africa. Kemira’s chemical solutions help customers to improve their process efficiency and enable huge savings.

Weathering the storm with chemical pre-treatment for wastewater

Stormwater flows can present big challenges for wastewater treatment plants, with huge water volumes needing to be processed in a very short space of time. Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment solutions help operators to tackle acute stormwater flows efficiently and cost-effectively without any major investments.

Ensuring uninterrupted water treatment is paramount

To help water treatment plant operators do their job, even in turbulent times, is of crucial importance. This also means that sufficient treatment chemistries, logistics and labor must be available.

Pushing wastewater treatment capacity limits at Stockholm Water

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.

Safeguarding health and safety at SWISS KRONO

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.

Towards a cleaner Baltic Sea using Kemira's hydrogen

This summer, Aranda, a research vessel of the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) operating in the Baltic Sea, will start the experimental use of a fuel cell system fueled by excess hydrogen from Kemira’s Äetsä plant in a pilot project coordinated by the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.

Sludge treatment – great opportunities for improvement

Sludge dewatering can be a tricky operation due to varying sludge composition. A significant share of the operational costs of municipal wastewater treatment but also some industries is in sludge disposal. An investment into improved sludge treatment can bring significant cost-efficiencies.

Our most valuable asset?

It is hard to overstate the importance of fresh water. Everything we drink and eat – meat or vegetable – requires fresh water. And though many do not realize it, every source of energy we have uses fresh water at some stage of the process.
