Low Carbon and Nitrate in Ammonia and Urea production. Two hot topics for Steel and Ammonia production together with Stamicarbon and ArcelorMittal. Pure CO2 as a high quality raw material for producing high quality additive energy carriers. INITIATE, a Stepwise project H2020
Together with our partners in Fresme, a H-2020 EU-project, we managed to make methanol from the captured CO2 (purity > 99%). At this moment we are joining several H-2020 projects for a more sustainable and green future. In these projects is Kisuma bv responsible for the adsorbent in the SeWGS, a TNO-owned technology platform for the steelindustry, refineries and powerindustry. See for more information: www.fresme.eu, www.initiate.eu, www.stepwise.eu. Or contact our office in Veendam.
Kisuma Chemicals is onderdeel van het in Japan gevestigde “Kyowa Chemical Industry”. Sinds 1999 is Kisuma gevestigd aan de Billitonweg in Veendam. Op deze locatie worden de synthetische magnesiumverbindingen “Hydrotalciet” en “Magnesiumhydroxide” geproduceerd. Deze zogenaamde “hydrotalcieten” worden gebruikt als zuurvangers in de kunststofindustrie. Magnesiumhydroxide wordt als brandvertrager toegepast in kunststoffen.
Na de opening in 1999 is de locatie diverse malen uitgebreid. Momenteel beschikt Kisuma Veendam over een productiecapaciteit van circa 30.000 ton op jaarbasis. Hiermee is het de grootste productielocatie van synthetisch hydrotalciet ter wereld. Op de locatie in Veendam werken 100 medewerkers en wordt 7 dagen per week, 24 uur per dag geproduceerd.
Sinds 2008 valt Kisuma onder het “Besluit Risico Zware Ongevallen” ofwel het BRZO. Het BRZO is de Nederlandse implementatie van de Europese SEVESO III richtlijn. Binnen Nederland vallen circa 400 bedrijven onder deze richtlijn. Kisuma valt onder deze richtlijn vanwege een bepaalde hoeveelheid van een milieugevaarlijke grondstof. Voor de BRZO-bedrijven is een aparte inspectiemethodiek opgesteld. Dit betekent dat periodiek multidisciplinaire inspectieteams de locatie bezoeken. Voor meer informatie over BRZO kunt u op de landelijke BRZO-website bezoeken (www.BRZOPlus.nl). Op deze website staan tevens de openbare inspectieverslagen van alle BRZO bedrijven, waaronder de verslagen van Kisuma.
Kisuma streeft na om een goede buur in de omgeving te zijn. Zodoende stellen wij feedback vanuit de buurt zeer op prijs. Dergelijke feedback kan via het contactformulier op deze website worden verstuurd.

Kisuma Chemicals produces two classes of synthetic magnesium products in Veendam (the Netherlands), Hydrotalcite and Magnesium Hydroxide. Our factory is conveniently located close to a highly pure and reliable source of Magnesium Chloride. That's why Magnesium is central in our organization and in our vision for the future. In this section, you can read more about the background of both materials, including our history of producing them and applications that have been developed by us.
We consider ourselves, through our parent company Kyowa Chemical Industry (Japan), to have been at the forefront of the development of synthetic hydrotalcite and we are still dedicating a significant amount of resources to R&D, and we are still dedicating a significant amount of resources in R&D, in order to continue the development of this material in new applications.
Next to developments with our current products, we are always open to explore the possibilities to produce new, specialty magnesium compounds with our unique and proprietary production technology. The focus of our research department is not only on hydrotalcites, but on all materials from the layered double hydroxide family.
