The Sustainability Award is a celebration of collaboration, recognizing how Solenis can help our customers meet their sustainability goals.
Diversey, a Solenis company, helped KFC UK and Ireland to improve cleaning efficiency in their restaurants and significantly reduce the consumption of cleaning products and related packaging. The combination of initiatives was estimated to reduce the company’s annual packaging waste by 7,504 kg.
Solenis helped Braskem Q1 industrial facility in Camaçari, Brazil to implement innovative water treatment solutions that contributed to significant cost savings and resulted in profound sustainability benefits, introducing a new scale inhibitor, Performax™ DC5002.
Solenis helped BASF’s chemical plant in White Stone, South Carolina, optimize two boilers used in several critical processes and, as a result, reduce its annual water and fuel costs by $27,002 and annual carbon dioxide emissions by 6,156 tons.
A Solenis silicone-based brown stock defoamer improved the brown stock washing operation enabling the mill to save approximately 25 cubic meters per hour of wash water in addition to the extraction of CO2-free electrical energy of 4371125 kWh/a.
Solenis helped WestRock’s Seminole Mill optimize its use of dry and wet strength chemistries and, as a result, reduce its annual costs by $3.9 million and annual carbon dioxide emissions and freshwater consumption by 7,492 tons and 6 million gallons, respectively.
Diversey’s technical expertise and water treatment solutions reduced water consumption across the sites by more than 20% (in excess of 1m cubic meters per annum) whilst at the same time achieving a 23% reduction in the volume of chemicals consumed.
The implementation of Diversey’s AquaCheck program enables HEINEKEN to achieve a 6 percent reduction in average water intake across 10 breweries in Africa and Brazil, equating to a savings of 2,936,100 cubic meters of water.
Working together, Target and Diversey created a simplified store cleaning program to help reduce the company’s annual chemical packaging waste. After an 18-month pilot, they rolled out the new program across all stores in less than four months, minimizing disruption to stores and the guest experience. The simplified program has an annual estimated packaging waste reduction of 17,520 kg (58%).
Solenis' Chargepac™ coagulant program helped Repsol, S.A. (Spain) plant reduce severe performance and corrosion problems on their DAF unit. As a result increased water reuse reduced risk of failing on environmental compliance. Fresh water and energy savings were also achieved.
Using Zalta™ antiscalants program in the phosphoric acid process, Guizhou Phosphate Chemical Group significantly reduce scaling in phosphoric acid processing operations, leading to water savings of 27,900 cubic meters, power savings of 21,360 kWh, and a carbon footprint reduction of about 3000 tons.
Solenis worked with Armstrong World Industries to develop and implement a scale control program at the company’s ceiling plant in Marietta, Pennsylvania, that reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 42 tons per year based on energy savings attributed to more efficient vacuum pump operation.
The installation of an ultrasonic bed depth monitor and chemical automation on the raw water clarifier at International Paper’s containerboard mill in Pine Hill, Alabama, resulted in water savings of 1.3 million gallons annually.
Solenis helped Contact Energy’s Wairakei geothermal powerplant in Taupō, New Zealand, return a geothermal well to operation as well as expand the power generation of the well by 50,000 megawatt-hours per year, effectively offsetting carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 57,000 tons every year.
Solenis helped the Catlettsburg refinery, part of Marathon Petroleum Corporation, to optimize operation of 18 anthracite filters used as part of the BFW pretreatment process. The result was significant water and chemical savings.
Solenis partnered with Saint-Gobain ISOVER at multiple European sites to supply advanced biocides and defoamers, reducing chemical use, improving worker safety and lowering carbon emissions.
