Stories segment: Water

Disinfection for bathing, reuse and stormwater

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.

Safe wastewater disinfection protects bathers and nature in Kalajoki 

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.  

How to treat sewer overflows quickly, effectively, and without harming the environment 

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.

Olympic gold for safe and reliable wastewater disinfection

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.

Can treating water be more sustainable?

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.

Mariehamn wastewater treatment plant reduces energy and chemical consumption through digital services

The Lotsbroverket wastewater treatment plant in Mariehamn has seen excellent results after implementing Kemira´s KemConnect™ PT digital service. This data-driven solution for primary wastewater treatment has reduced the energy consumption and cut ferric sulfate consumption at the plant.

Shift to renewable polymers

Watch this on-demand webinar, to learn about pioneering customer cases from cities who are shifting away from conventional fossil-based polymers, toward renewable solutions in their wastewater treatment processes.

Improving chemical consumption and process stability through data-driven phosphorus removal at Edar Vic wastewater treatment plant

The Edar Vic wastewater treatment plant in Spain has significantly improved its chemical consumption efficiency and process stability after adopting Kemira’s KemConnect^TM P digital service. The consumption of ferric chloride per kg of phosphorus is down by over 15% and the stability of the treatment process has improved.

The best of both worlds: combining chemistries and digital innovations to enhance wastewater treatment performance

With volatile energy prices and the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, municipal and industrial operators alike are seeking innovative ways to improve their processes. As a result, digital solutions are becoming increasingly common as a way to complement chemical treatment methods.
