PAPERmaking! g FROM THE PUBLISHERS OF PAPER TECHNOLOGY Volume 2, Number 1, 2016
When Ashland Water Technologies needed a new name after the company was sold in August 2014, it didn’t have to look far for inspiration. Drawing on its rich heritage of delivering excellent customer service and solving complex problems, it found an appropriate name in Solenis, which combines the words solution and genesis and reinforces the company’s mission to be the source of solutions for its customers. Nowhere is this mission more clearly demonstrated than in the pulp and paper industry. Over the years, Solenis and its legacy companies (Betz Laboratories, Drew, Stockhausen, Hercules and Ashland Water Technologies) have built a reputation on delivering a full range of functional, process and water treatment chemistries to paper mills all over the world. “We’ve been in business for nearly a hundred years, and we’ve always provided solutions to myriad challenges that paper and pulp companies face, whether functional, process or water. We’ve even led the way in anticipating challenges and innovating ahead o f the curve,” says Ludwig Krapsch, Vice President, Pulp and Paper EMEA at Solenis. According to Krapsch, taking a “total mill perspective” enables Solenis to deliver unparalleled results to its customers. “We have the technology, the people and the science to be the water resource for our clients,” he says. “We don’t just solve problems as they come up — we help mills proactively address challenges by delivering comprehensive and integrated solutions that improve operational efficiency and product quality.” Every Drop of Water, Every Step of the Way Solenis’ water -treatment solutions start at the influent water system and carry through to the waste-treatmen t area, supporting every aspect of a mill’s operations and enhancing its reliability, efficiency and profitability. The company’s line -up of water treatment products for the pulp and paper industry is both state of the art and comprehensive. “We’re think ing about how water can be used to maximise production and minimise costs from when the first drop of water enters the facility. We follow it through until the last drop leaves as wastewater making sure as much as possible has been reused and has the lowes t environmental impact” says Malcolm Turvey, Market Manager EMEA. “At every step, we’re doing whatever it takes to ensure that your water is being fully utili sed as an essential integrated element of your system.” For influent water, for example, Solenis has developed a wide portfolio of coagulants and flocculants for water clarity, and a range of processes and chemistries that address water temperature, pH, alkalinity, turbidity and colour. The company also specialises in corrosion protection and microbiological control chemicals for cooling water and boiler systems, including recovery boilers. And for effluent water, Solenis offers an extensive array of bio- augmentation technologies, antifoams, odour control chemicals, and dilution and feeding systems to help mills remove pollutants, minimise sludge handling and disposal costs, recycle effluent or improve wastewater quality. When they integrate these products with Solenis’ complete family of OnGuard™ monitoring and control equipment, mills can prevent water treatment problems altogether or make rapid course adjustments to minimis e their impact. Either way, Solenis’ end -to- end approach helps mills protect their assets, their products and their profits.
