Kemira has announced plans to invest a “low double-digit millions of euros” sum to build a reactivation plant for activated carbon at its Helsingborg site in Sweden. Due to be operational in 2H 2027, this will supply the Nordic drinking water and wastewater markets and is part of a long-term strategy to double the water treatment business. It follows the acquisition of Norit’s UK reactivation business, Purton Carbons.
