Recent developments
Commercial supply realignments
Nobian will now directly supply calcium chloride from its Frankfurt site, shortening routes to users in de-icing, dust control, food, oil and gas, and water treatment. Kemira expanded its North American services by acquiring AquaBlue, Inc., integrating field expertise with its Water Solutions portfolio.
Decarbonization and R&D
Kemira and Hazer signed an MoU to assess integrating Hazer's methane pyrolysis technology, including trials of Hazer carbon in water treatment and potential licensing or offtake.
Water stewardship metrics
Moeve reduced its fresh water capture by 21% in Spain's water stress zones and set a 25% target by 2028, supported by reuse and effluent upgrades. Kemira achieved a Leadership-level A- score in both the Water Security and Climate Change categories, meeting its 2025 water-security target.
Infrastructure in China
Fluor reported mechanical completion of BASF's Zhanjiang Verbund project in South China, which includes water treatment systems, seawater intake, distributed cooling towers, and wastewater units supporting integrated operations serving the domestic market.
