Kemira Flocculants - For liquid-liquid and liquid-solid separation Flocculants can be used in a very broad range of applications. The main reason is that their properties can be modified in many ways to satisfy different market requirements. To be able to manufacture a flocculant with tailor-made properties it is important to have access to different types of production facilities. Kemira takes great pride in its very broad and deep range of flocculants.
Kemira is the third largest producer of flocculants in the world. To satisfy an increasing market need for top-class flocculants Kemira will continue to grow in this strategically important area.
Kemira FilamentEx™ - the expert's choice for preventing bulking sludge and foamThe bulking sludge and foam challenge: Bulking sludge and foam are two undesirable, complicated and unpredictable challenges for many wastewater treatment plants globally. One of the most common ways to treat this is by adding various kinds of chemicals and hoping for the best. To make things even worse the addition of chemicals is often done randomly at too late a stage, with far too large quantities. This means a very limited control and understanding of the entire process – the result in some cases being that a wastewater treatment plant will suffer for years without finding a sustainable solution to the challenge.
The answer to the filament challenge: Kemira FilamentEx™ solution - the superior way of managing the treatment against the filamentous bacteria which suddenly appear without any obvious warning, formed in various locations in the plant and, in turn, causing bulking sludge and foam. The treatment has to be hard. Otherwise there is a risk of environmental damage and sewage overflow problems and – in the worst cases – process failure and lower treatment capacity.
The key benefit of FilamentEx™ is the powerful combination of services and products and a continuous control of the filamentous growth and formation in a bio-stage. A service and support contract is set up and the customer may choose between three different levels. The commitment is built on close collaboration, assuring that the conclusions made are beneficial to the customer.
The FilamentEx™ solution is based on extensive research, analysis, knowledge and experience, thereby making it possible to diagnose, draw the right conclusions and come up with a well balanced action plan. This has lead to a remedy to bulking sludge and foam caused by the filamentous bacteria.
Preventing formation of bulking sludge and foam, Kemira FilamentEx™ solution includes:
Test & analysis
Diagnosis
Right dosage
Continuous control
Action plan
Three-level contract

Kemira KemiCond® - for superior dewatering performance|
The sludge challenge: The costs for sludge treatment – in terms of manpower, equipment and energy – accounts for about 50% of the overall cost of wastewater treatment. Moreover, most end users require that the sludge is transported to another destination. Therefore, it’s of great importance to increase the dry substance (DS), thereby reducing volumes and, in turn, cutting transportation and disposal costs. The environmental debate puts wastewater plant operations under pressure to handle the sludge in a sustainable manner – and naturally according to current laws and regulations. The need for sustainable treatment technologies and careful managing of our most valuable asset – water – is greater now than ever. The treated sludge can be used in different ways – for agriculture, landfill, production of soil products and for incineration. In partnership with the customer Kemira Water takes full responsibility for process design, assists in equipment installation, performs operator training and carries out maintenance services and cares for the supply of conditioning chemicals. For the mechanical dewatering stage Kemira Water has assured that KemiCond® is fully compatible with all types of dewatering equipment. The KemiCond® standard unit is supplied in a 40-foot container – or alternatively as a skid-mounted unit – containing a control cabinet, reactors, dosing pumps, etc. The KemiCond® standard unit is available in capacities up to 12000 ton DS per year. For higher capacities plant specific designs can be made. When the KemiCond® solution is up-and-running an optimization programme and performance follow-up is done on a regular basis. The Kemira KemiCond® solution package for sludge volume reduction, odourcontrol and sludge hygenisation comprises: Process design Kemira is a group of global and leading chemical businesses with unique positions in selected customer segments.

 | Detergent & Cleaning We provide bleaching and builder solutions for cleaners, laundry detergents and automatic dishwashing products to support effective and ecological cleaning. Our offering for the detergents industry features coated sodium percarbonate known as Kemira ECOX. Sodium percarbonate is used in modern laundry powders to increase whiteness and to remove stains. Kemira ECOX decomposes during the cleaning process into water, soda and oxygen, and is accordingly the most environmentally-friendly bleaching agent. Sodium percarbonate is replacing in particular perborates, and is used as a bleaching agent in powders and tablets in many applications, including laundry detergents, stain salts and bleach boosters, as well as automatic dishwashing detergents. We also offer an environmentally-friendly builder component, Kemira Co-Granulate, to reduce water hardness. Low water hardness reduces the need for surfactant, and consequently lowers raw material requirements, and environmental exposure. Kemira Co-Granulate is especially suitable for detergent tablet applications, as it further improves the physical properties of the detergent tablets. In our R&D, we constantly look for opportunities to develop new solutions and products for our detergent industry customers. To support this, we work closely with our customers helping them solve everyday problems. We transfer mutual synergies within Kemira to serve the detergent and cleaning industry with new and effective solutions |
