Startups are like speed boats. They’re lightning fast and can quickly turn course when needed. Corporations, like Kemira, are cruise ships. They’re big, safe and move along rather predictably. What happens when a speed boat and a cruise ship want to dock at the same destination, and both want to get there first?
How can water utilities comply with tightening regulations while reducing energy use, raw material consumption, and carbon intensity at the same time? Proven digital solutions are available to replace manual dosing and guesswork.
I am Jonna Jyrämä and I was happy to be able to do my master’s thesis at Kemira at the Research Center in Espoo, Finland during spring 2021. My thesis dealt with the topic “Repulping of Dispersion Coated Board” and it was carried out as part of a larger research entity in the Sizing & Performance team.
At Kemira, we’re helping water utilities harness the power of data to reduce energy use, raw material consumption, and carbon intensity. Learn how major cities have collaborated with us to implement digital solutions for sustainable wastewater treatment.
As the speed of paper machines increases and recycled fibers are more and more used, the demands for retention and drainage performance and machine cleanliness increase as well. Kemira introduces quick inversion polymer technology that helps paper and board producers to tackle the challenges of modern papermaking.
Kemira’s new research center in Shanghai, China is accelerating innovation in Asia - a sign of our company’s commitment to employees, customers and sustainable chemistry that enables more renewable, biodegradable and recyclable products.
A new paper machine start-up is a challenging and complex project. But if you choose your partners wisely, one thing you don’t have to worry about is the chemistry management.
At Kemira, we have aligned our business and research strategy with specific United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this commitment, we are creating more renewable, biodegradable and recyclable products based on biopolymers.
Biobased alternatives to fossil-based chemistries are at the heart of the current sustainability discussion, but there’s more to consider than the raw material base when discussing sustainable solutions for the paper industry.
We frame our sustainability approach with the United Nations global sustainable development goals (SDG's). Recently we have taken the step to highlight our social agenda through the inclusion of the new SDG.
