Introduction

Kemira Oyj is a chemical industry group that consists of three main segments. Kemira is headquartered in
Helsinki, Finland.
Kemira has three segments Pulp & Paper, Municipal & Industrial and Oil & Mining focusing on water-
intensive industries. Kemira aims to improve its customers’ water, energy and raw material efficiency.
Kemira became the world's biggest provider of the pulp and paper chemicals after its acquisition of the pulp
and paper chemical operations of Lanxess. In 2009 Kemira’s Paper segment’s market area is global and it is
second in pulp and paper chemicals worldwide. Paper segment is further divided into four customer
segments: Pulp, Printing & Writing, Packaging & Board and Tissue & Specialties. Municipal & Industrial
segment is divided into Municipal Water and Industrial Water customer segments. Also Municipal &
Industrial segment’s market is global and it is #2 in coagulants and #5 in flocculants worldwide. Oil & Mining
segment was launched in June 2008 to develop businesses in the oil, gas and mining industries. It is divided
into Oil & Gas, Minerals & Metals and Formulation Technology customer segments. Oil & Mining segment has
a global market area, in which it is #1 in coagulants and #3 in flocculants worldwide.

Water
We’re putting more demands on our water resources all the time. The more we produce, manufacture,
consume, and throw away, the more water we use. How can we replenish the water cycle and keep up
with our growing needs?
To help water treatment plant operators do this while optimizing the Total Cost of Ownership, we work
in close cooperation with customers to reduce expenses for energy, labor and chemicals, while safely
achieving the targeted water quality.
Our deep R&D and application know-how, secure supply network and complete technology portfolio are
some of the reasons why we are the preferred partner for safe, efficient and sustainable chemical water
treatment.

Raw water & drinking water

Less than 3% of all water on earth is freshwater and, because most of that is locked in ice caps or deep
underground, only 1% is available to us. Since life is impossible without H2O, which makes up around
60% of our bodies, taking care of the world’s freshwater is of the utmost importance.
Large variability in surface water quality means raw water is very rarely good enough to be used for
drinking or industrial processes without treatment. We help both municipalities and water-intensive
industries meet their required quality standards with our application expertise throughout the water
cycle.
Drinking water
Drinking water producers are faced with ever-deteriorating quality of raw water, as well as ever-
tightening regulations for safe and clean potable water. Raw water contains varying proportions of
organic decomposition products, sand/clay particles, algae, bacteria and viruses and pH may fluctuate as
well. Coagulation and flocculation are the most effective treatment methods. The coagulants, polymers
and antiscalants in our portfolio are FDA compliant and NSF certified.
Desalination and water reuse
In areas where natural groundwater or surface water cannot meet demand, seawater and brackish
water are desalted and processed into drinking water and process water. To make this kind of water
usable, the main salt components, sodium and chloride, must be removed by using a special membrane
technology called Reverse Osmosis (RO).
Membrane technology is also utilized in water reuse applications. This means treatment and recycling of
wastewater to be used in industrial processes, agriculture or in some cases for municipal purposes. Not
all water that is utilized needs to be drinking water quality.
Kemira offers a holistic, cost-effective membrane program for desalination plants and water reuse
applications. Based on our expert analysis, we offer an optimized solution for both the pretreatment
and the membrane processes, with a full range product offering coupled with monitoring and optimizing
technologies.

Process water
Each process water system is different and requires products that are customized depending on the
water quality, branch of industry and process parameters. Water reuse is also a viable option in
industrial settings, especially in water-scarce areas. With the right treatment technologies, water can be
reused through several cycles, which helps to balance the gap between water supply and demand. In all
cases, getting the chemistry right is extremely important for maximum efficiency, while minimizing
damage to equipment and maintenance shutdowns.
We help you optimize the total cost of process with lower energy and water consumption, and keep
your equipment running reliably with less maintenance required.

KemGuard desalination antiscalants comply with many international and local regulatory requirements
for potable water treatment and are compatible with membranes and other system components in a
specified application range.
Municipal waste water treatment
Formation of mineral scales is a common problem in sewage and waste water treatment facilities,
especially in anaerobic digesters, dewatering trains and areas of turbulence. KemGuard® offers
proprietary sulphonated copolymer chemistry and specialised formulations for control of struvite,
vivianite, calcite, hydroxylapatite and other common scales in sewage and waste water treatment
plants.
These products have proven performance and wide acceptance in industry for municipal and waste
water treatment scale control, thereby ensuring stable and economic system operation.
Industrial Cooling & Heating application
KemGuard® product line includes a comprehensive portfolio of low molecular weight homopolymers,
copolymers and terpolymers, covering a wide range of molecular weight, pH, chemistry and
functionality, that are effectively used in cooling tower and boiler water treatment formulations. Kemira
antiscalant technology also includes specialised formulations based on multicomponent blends to
combat scaling, corrosion and fouling problems. The result is improved economy, better energy and
water efficiency, longer equipment life and stable system operation.
Many of these products conform to FDA regulation 21 CFR 173.310 for boiler water treatment. The
products may also comply with other food-related regulatory requirements.
Sugar Evaporators
KemTalo range of antiscalants are specifically developed to control scales like calcium carbonate,
calcium sulphate, calcium oxalate, phosphates and silicates commonly found in multi effect evaporators
in beet and cane sugar mills.
Detergent and Cleaning
KemGuard range of homo-, co- and ter-polymers also have found wide acceptance in detergent and
cleaning formulations owing to their better eco-toxicological properties and effectiveness. They work
well under all cleaning and washing conditions, including high hardness, high alkalinity, varying
temperature etc. Some of these products are also available in solid grade.
Kemira also offers antiscalants with excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability, suited to control
formation of deposit and fouling in geothermal fluids and other high temperature process applications.
