Population faces water
scarcity when annual
water supplies drop
below 1 000 m3 per
capita and water stress
when annual water
supplies drop below 1

8. SWEET - Center of Water Efficiency Excellence
• In 2010, Kemira and VTT established a Center of
Water Efficiency Excellence in Finland (SWEET).
• SWEET supports Kemira’s strategic target to
become a leading water chemistry company.
• Four years development programme with total
volume of 120 million euros.
• Goals achieved in 2010:
• First wave of external funding secured
• New R&D Center in Sao Paolo in operation
• Strategic partnerships formed:
• Industrial eg. Outotec, Metso Paper
• Research eg. NTU Singapore, University of
Alberta

9. SWEET - Program Focus Areas
Water reuse
Water reuse chemistry, including removal of microconstituents,
antiscaling, disinfection, nutrient recycling
Chemistry for membrane applications, including enhancement of
desalination
Chemistry for advanced wastewater treatment processes,
including membrane bioreactors
Resource efficient biomass utilization
New chemistry concepts to enhance biomass utilization
Efficiency and improved processes
Enhance biomass based production
Sustainable water chemistry
More sustainable chemistry for polymer synthesis and
applications
Biogradable and environmental friendly concepts
Sustainable value addition on recycled raw material value chains

10. Energy / Water Nexus
• Do we have a wide enough view of our
operative environment in the Water /
Energy Nexus?
• No water = No energy
• No energy = No water
• Is there a sustainable role for chemistry
in this Nexus?
• Have we forgot about synergistic parts
in the water intensive sector
• Competition for water between food
and industrial sectors
• Competition lead to recycling of
biomass considered as waste – No
waste allowed!
• Waste to value (energy, water,
nutrients) = no waste remaining!

13. Forward osmosis
Principles
• Natural phenomena, water
diffuse from salty water to pure
water
Advantages
• Lower energy use
• Higher recovery
• Reduced brine discharge
Challenges
• Dewatering draw solution,
Draw solution with high
capacity water adsorption
Time expected to be available
commercially: in the next 10 to 20
years

14. Is this Hot?
Maybe it is the future!
Recovering high grade water from
flue gases
• 40% of water can be recovered
• Recovered water can be used
as process water for industries
• Large scale tests has been
planned for Europe, North
Africa, South Africa and MENA
