In the face of the energy crisis, papermakers are seeking opportunities for improving energy efficiency in their production. A good place to start looking for savings is the dryer section of the paper machine, as it consumes a lion’s share of all the energy used at a paper mill.
A one-size-fits-all solution can be a poor fit for most. That’s why Kemira’s dispersion barrier coatings for recyclable and fluorine-free paper and board packaging are based on an open formula.
On June 5, the world celebrates the annual “World Environment Day”. At Kemira, responsibility for the environment and the society is an integral part of our strategy.
As global supply chains struggle with severe challenges, 60% of our surveyed customers state that Kemira has risen above other chemical suppliers under these pressures in terms of reliability.
When wastewater treatment plants make the switch to biobased polymers, it can be a win for the planet. But what about performance? New Superfloc® BioMB, the world’s first line of biomass balanced flocculants, offers reliable performance and clear sustainability benefits.
For the paper and board manufacturers, reaching success with barrier technology requires more than just adding the right coating chemistry to the process.
Even the most experienced paper machine operator cannot grasp all the interdependencies in the complicated papermaking process to reliably predict where the process is headed. Here’s where KemConnect™ Harmonizer, our new digital service for papermakers comes in.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) around the world are improving their energy efficiency thanks to innovative new technologies. Lydia Vamvakeridou-Lyroudia, PhD, from the KWR Water Research Institute, explains how digitalization and data help WWTPs with energy balance.
Consumers want their tissue products to be both soft and strong. For the tissue manufacturers, this requirement has always been a troublesome one because of the rule of thumb: when the softness increases, strength decreases, and vice versa.
From climate change to eutrophication, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are adapting their operations in the face of environmental challenges. A recent Life Cycle Assessment suggests that the best way for wastewater treatment plants to improve their energy balance and overall sustainability is a tailored mix of chemical and biological treatment methods.
