KemConnect SD - Smart Sludge Dewatering

The KemConnect SD service optimizes your chemical sludge treatment prior to the dewatering equipment even under changing process conditions. We apply online analytics and utilize an advanced dosage control algorithm to constinuously optimize your chemical sludge conditioning. The service includes the selection and supply of chemistry, the provision of online equipment, recommendations for optimal dosage points, and a customized reporting system. Kemira’s KemConnect platform enables the continuous monitoring of all relevant performance parameters in real time. Dedicated KemConnect SD dashboards provide our service team with valuable information for application optimization and remote performance control, while you can accurately monitor cost savings to help maintain the efficiency of your sludge dewatering process.

KemConnect DEX - Smart Disinfection

KemConnect DEX is based on performic acid which is a powerful peroxygen compound that disinfects rapidly, and at low doses. Because it is chlorine-free and does not produce toxic by-products, KemConnect DEX is a sustainable disinfection strategy. The efficiency of performic acid (PFA) as a disinfectant enables a cost-effective approach to the disinfection process. The footprint for chemical storage is small, as are the logistic requirements for chemical supplies. The on-site production system that produces performic acid is compact and has low energy requirements. As an added value, Kemira’s expertise and experience in water management expands your in-house capabilities to quickly resolve water treatment challenges. Convenience is a word rarely used when disinfecting wastewater, but with KemConnect DEX it’s a reality. The package includes all the required chemicals, a compact DEX-3 unit with a reactor capable of on-site PFA production and the KemConnect smart process managment system. This turn-key system is fully automated and installed by Kemira. KemConnect DEX is monitored and controlled on a digital platform that automates dosing and has real-time access via the internet on any connected device. System status, alarms and reporting occur via SMS and email. KemConnect DEX has low capital investment requirements, low operating-costs and is an environmentally sound disinfection solution.

KemConnect P-Optimizer - Smart phosphorus removal

Kemira KemConnect P-optimizer helps plant operators to dose the exact amount of coagulants they require for chemical phosphate removal. Continuous monitoring combined with precise control over product dosing allows operators to react proactively to fluctuations in the feed to their wastewater plant. With Kemira KemConnect P-optimizer, overdosing “to be on the safe side” is as much a thing of the past as limit violations that result from the late detection of phosphate peaks. To ensure a quick start-up phase, Kemira installs and calibrates the relevant sensors, supplies the required chemicals, and ensures that your staff receives proper training. We can also manage future maintenance and calibration activities so that you can focus on managing and optimizing your operations. For even smarter chemical management, KemConnect P-optimizer can be combined with KemConnect VMI, our real-time stock-monitoring solution.

KemConnect PT (pre-treatment)

Kemira KemConnect™ PT is an automated solution to optimize the chemical pre-treatment process, enabling various downstream efficiency improvements. The system is designed to maximize the energy savings and energy production of a wastewater treatment plant and to maintain a consistent level of treatment within a minimum and maximum range. The application of such a system can limit or prolong the need for major plant expansion while addressing sustainability goals at the same time. The main objective is to settle just enough primary solids to alleviate most of the burden on the aeration process, hence lowering the energy required for aeration. The second objective is to increase biogas production by increasing the amount of more easily biodegradable sludge sent from the primary treatment step to the digestors as opposed to secondary sludge, which is much harder for the bacteria to digest. The system includes the measurement of flow, turbidity, and suspended solids in the influent wastewater, as well as the measurement of ammonium, phosphate, COD, and nitrate and oxidation reduction potential in the nitrification/denitrification process. Feedback input loops from aeration energy and biogas production are also included. Utilizing intelligent algorithms, the optimal chemical dosage for the desired outcome is calculated based on the existing conditions. The service includes the selection and supply of chemistry, provision of online equipment, recommendations for optimal dosage points, and a customized reporting system. The KemConnect platform allows you to continuously monitor all relevant performance parameters and cost savings in real time.

ViviMag - Phosphorus recovery solutions are needed for municipal wastewater to reuse precious phosphorus

Phosphorus recovery solutions are needed for municipal wastewater to reuse precious phosphorus. Several methods have been developed over the years, and some are commercially available. However, those treatment facilities using chemical phosphorus removal, still lacked a solution to recover phosphorus directly from sludge. This gap was filled when a magnetic separation of vivianite was developed by TU Delft and Wetsus. This new ViviMag® technology is today owned by Kemira and is currently piloted with Waterschapsbedrijf Limburg and Royal HaskoningDHV at Hoensbroek wastewater treatment plant. We are excited to present some results and tell you more about this trial!
