Safe and easy access to process data via Bluetooth
Kemira benefits from faster troubleshooting and commissioning
Kemira is a global leader in sustainable chemical solutions for water-intensive industries. At the company’s production site in Bradford in the UK, polymers are manufactured for use in water treatment. As with many other chemical processes, polymer manufacturing is reliant on accurate monitoring of parameters such as level and temperature. The team at Kemira uses measurement instrumentation with Bluetooth for fast and wireless operation.
The benefits
-
Commissioning, maintenance and documentation tasks
can be carried out remotely via Bluetooth -
Reduces the risks posed by dangerous substances,
harsh environments and potential explosions -
Ease of use via the SmartBlue app
“Having Bluetooth makes our lives ten times easier. We can sit in the control room rather than having to climb on the vessel. It’s a safer way of doing things and it’s much quicker.”

The challenge
Polymers are chemicals used in flocculation, a process that enables bonding between solid particles, creating larger clusters, or ‘flocs’, that are easier to separate. In wastewater flocculation and sludge treatment, particles are flocked to aid their removal or to help sludge dewatering. Manufacturing polymers relies on accurate monitoring. The team at Kemira need access to real-time data to allow them to check the process and make informed decisions about inventory management and maintenance.
The solution
Monitoring level and other parameters involved in polymer manufacturing has traditionally required physical access to the instrumentation. Now devices with Bluetooth can be accessed remotely, making it easy to monitor and maintain devices that are located in hard-to-reach areas.
Micropilot level measurement with Bluetooth
Kemira has utilised Bluetooth technology in the form of Endress+Hauser’s Micropilot FMR60B, one of the new generation of 80 GHz radar sensors for level measurement. As well as offering easy access to process data via Bluetooth, the in-built ‘wizards’ guide users through commissioning, proof tests and verification of the devices for simple operation. Heartbeat Technology offers verification and monitoring functions to identify anomalies for improved safety and productivity.
