With the UK water industry facing turbulent times, stability and control as well as security of supply are the watchwords of the day. With its wide, flexible UK manufacturing base for coagulants and polymers, as well as smart digital dosing and control solutions, Kemira is well placed to meet the growing future needs of the industry and to smooth the journey towards a more stable and sustainable future.

The global market for batteries is growing fast, largely due to rising demand for electric vehicles. But can production keep up and what happens after batteries are used? Fortum Battery Recycling, a business line part of the energy company, is setting up a sustainable recycling process with help from Kemira and our chemistry.

Watch this on-demand webinar, to learn how innovative technology is positively impacting phosphorus recovery performance at a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Germany.

Anglian Water's wastewater treatment plant in southeast England has seen highly promising results from its onsite trials with Kemira KemConnect™ P. This smart digital solution for phosphorus removal has helped them reduce consumption of ferric sulfate by almost 15%%.

The amount of energy consumed in wastewater treatment plants across the world is estimated at 1-3%% of global energy output. Learn how wastewater treatment plants can tackle increasing energy prices, scarcity of resources, and tightening regulations, while maintaining stable and future-proof operations.

A hydrometallurgical facility in the African copper belt was struggling with froth, a common issue in plants that process highly carbonaceous material. Not only was the froth causing operational issues, it constrained capacity, leading to production losses of approximately $5 million a day. Kemira KemFoamX^TM 9980 brought it under control.

In this webinar, you will learn how municipal wastewater treatment plants can use innovative technology to optimize energy-intensive processes, while maintaining stable operations and compliance with tightening regulatory requirements.

Achieving considerable process improvements in wastewater treatment, requires consistent and accurate monitoring. Digitally enhanced chemical treatment helped the Dutch city of Arnhem reduce their carbon footprint, while optimizing the plant's operational performance.

What is the most sustainable and reliable way to recover phosphorus from wastewater? The jury for the project innovation competition at the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition decided that one of the most promising technologies is ViviMag®, granting it the silver award in the “Breakthroughs in Research & Development” category.

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.
