OUTOTEC and Kemira have entered into a strategic cooperation to develop solutions for water-intensive industrial applications.
The companies say the cooperation will combine Outotec’s competence in minerals and oil sands processing technology with Kemira’s know-how in water chemistry and related applications to offer customers process optimization enabling cost-efficiency, sustainability and quality improvements.
The Outotec and Kemira cooperation will use the research programs of SWEET, the Centre of Water Efficiency Excellence, which Kemira established together with Technical Research Centre of Finland in March 2010.
The research programs aim to develop unique water knowledge and new technology to enhance the water usage and recycling in water-intensive industries.
