Investment Approval
Kemira has received full investment approval for its plan to build an activated carbon reactivation plant at its Helsingborg site in Sweden. This strategic move aims to enhance Kemira's water treatment capabilities in the Nordic region and invest in activated carbon as a growth area.
Plant Details
The new facility will require a low double-digit million-euro investment and is designed to reactivate spent granular and pelletized activated carbon. This will enable the reuse of carbon in drinking water and wastewater treatment applications, playing a crucial role in removing micropollutants, including PFAS, which are increasingly regulated across Europe.
Timeline
The plant is expected to become operational in the second half of 2027, pending final permits and construction timelines.
Helsingborg Site Anniversary
This announcement coincides with the 150th anniversary of the Helsingborg site in 2025, which has evolved into a hub for sustainable chemical production, contributing to both Kemira's growth and the economic vitality of the region.
