Kemira will multiply its production capacity in water treatment chemicals in central China. The investment is done by Kemira water Solutions (Chongqing) Co. Ltd , of which Kemira owns 80 percent of the stock capital. The company will invest in a new production line for the manufacturing of polyaluminium chloride, with a capacity of 20,000 tons per year.
