Water scarcity and reuse, stormwater management, regulatory compliance and pressure to cut costs and find sustainable solutions, are key drivers impacting wastewater disinfection. This webinar discusses safe and sustainable disinfection using performic acid as an emerging method with low capital investment and energy needs.

The tourist hotspot of Kalajoki on Finland’s west coast is well known for its stunning scenery and pristine nature. The region’s water utility company, Vesikolmio, is helping to protect this beautiful area with fast, effective wastewater disinfection using Kemira’s KemConnect™ DEX technology.  

​​Think increasing sustainability and switching from conventional, fossil-based chemistries to renewable alternatives means compromising on quality or performance? Think again. Kemira’s biomass-balanced products for papermaking, with wet strength additives as one of the latest additions to our portfolio, check all the boxes.

As sewer overflows caused by flooding become more common, finding a way to disinfect the resulting deluge of potentially hazardous wastewater quickly, effectively and without damaging water bodies is vital. Chemical disinfection with performic acid is showing huge promise as a solution to this challenge.

In preparation for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic swimming events in the river La Seine this summer, the Greater Paris Sanitation Authority trusted Kemira with it´s performic acid solution, KemConnect™ DEX, for their project of disinfecting treated wastewater before discharging.

The answer is yes. Water-intensive industries can now transform their sustainability performance, with one simple switch: from fossil-based polymers to renewable biomass-balanced chemistries from Kemira.
