This concept is applied for the liming of acidified watercourses.With different lime based applications it is possible both to prevent and to solve environmental problems. The liming of lakes contributes to keeping acidified water ecosystems alive. Partek Nordkalk is a forerunner in the field of lake-liming through different spreading techniques by both helicopter and boat.
The Kemwater liming concept has for more than 20 years proven its high efficiency and reliability in operation. A major advantage with this concept is the minimum maintenance required, as is the fact that the liming stations are self-supporting of energy. The Kemwater solar and wind power techniques are well-known and market leading since almost 10 years.
