Kemira has opened a Research & Development projects laboratory in Alberta, Canada on May 1, 2012. The laboratory, located on the campus of the University of Alberta, will be an extension of Kemira's North American R&D, headquartered in Atlanta.

"This facility demonstrates Kemira's commitment to Alberta and to the research work in the area of water quality and quantity management addressing water consumption, reuse and recycling by the in situ oil sands extraction industry. In addition, this facility establishes a local Kemira presence within the academic and technical center of oil sands related research and innovation", says Mohan Nair, Senior Manager Oil & Gas R&D.

The new laboratory also provides a technology stage to showcase and demonstrate Kemira's novel solutions to targeted audiences such as the various oil sands producers. In addition, the new site supports Kemira's regional growth in the conventional oil and gas marketplace, e.g. stimulation, drilling and cementing.

Kemira Oil & Mining offers a large selection of innovative chemical extraction and process solutions for the oil and mining industries, where water plays a central role. Utilizing our expertise, we enable our customers to improve efficiency and productivity.
