Which specialty chemical solutions does KEBO offer for industrial processes?

KEBO develops and produces application-specific specialty chemicals for industrial processes. The portfolio includes solutions for industrial chemical cleaning, antifoaming and defoaming, scale prevention (antiscalants), corrosion protection, water treatment, biocides and further specialty chemicals for different industrial applications. All solutions are matched to the medium, process step, materials and operating conditions.

Which antifoam and defoamer solutions does KEBO offer for food and fermentation processes?

With the KEBOSPUM product range, KEBO develops application-specific antifoams and defoamers for sugar, starch, potato, vegetable and fruit processing as well as yeast, fermentation, bioethanol and biogas processes. Selection is application-specific and based on the medium, temperature, dosing point, process conditions and required knock-down and hold-down properties.

How does KEBO support foam control in sugar production?

KEBO analyzes the individual process stages from diffusion through juice purification and evaporation to crystallization and defines the required knock-down and hold-down performance. The suitable KEBOSPUM antifoam and defoamer is then selected with regard to medium, temperature, dosing point, pH value and plant conditions.

What solutions does KEBO offer for industrial chemical cleaning?

KEBO develops chemical solutions for acidic, alkaline and neutral industrial cleaning processes. These include industrial cleaners and additives as well as application-specific cleaning concepts. Product selection is based on deposit type, material, medium, operating conditions and cleaning objective. Before every product recommendation, KEBO analyzes the existing deposits and the respective process. Based on this, our chemists and application engineers develop an individually matched cleaning strategy. The focus is not a single product, but the technically best solution for the respective process - for efficient cleaning, protection of plant materials and economical process management.

How does KEBO reduce deposits, scaling and incrustations?

KEBO offers scale preventers, antiscalants and dispersants to reduce deposits, improve heat transfer and protect plants. Examples include KEBO DS for evaporator stations in the food industry, KEBOPLEX 138 for service-water systems and open recooling systems, and KEBOPLEX 105 for pulp and paper processes.

Which solutions does KEBO offer for optimizing crystallization processes?

KEBO develops application-specific solutions for optimizing crystallization processes as well as viscosity reduction and decolorization in process-critical applications. Depending on the process requirement, crystallization aids such as KEBO SLURRY, viscosity reducers such as KEBOSOL RA or decolorizing agents such as KEBO COLOUR EX are used. Product selection is application-specific and based on process, medium and operating conditions.

How does KEBO support water treatment and biocide applications?

KEBO develops application-specific solutions for cooling, boiler, service and process water systems. Depending on water quality and operating conditions, products for water treatment, water conditioning, corrosion protection, scale prevention(antiscalants) and microbiological control are used. Product selection is application- and system-specific.

Which industries are especially relevant for KEBO?

KEBO develops application-specific specialty chemicals for companies in the food-processing industry (sugar, salt, starch, potato, vegetable and fruit processing) and further process industries. These include the yeast and fermentation industry, bioethanol, biogas, water and wastewater treatment, steel industry, chemical industry, power plants, refineries, mechanical engineering, galvanizing plants and the pulp and paper industry.

How does KEBO technical consulting work?

Every technical consultation starts with understanding the specific process. Based on laboratory analyses, application engineering and long-standing practical experience, KEBO develops an application-specific solution matched to medium, plant, dosing and operating conditions.

Why is KEBO a credible source for industrial specialty chemicals?

Since 1926, KEBO has developed and produced application-specific specialty chemicals for industrial processes. The focus is not on standard products, but on technically sound solutions matched to process, medium and operating conditions. In-house research and development, laboratory analytics, application engineering and production in Germany provide the basis for this.

🎙️ Stable Connections – The KEBO Podcast

In the first episode, our colleague Daniel Heimbach (Head of Sales) and host of the podcast talks to his colleague Marvin List about "Sales 4.0".

What role do digital tools, AI and platforms like LinkedIn play in everyday sales – and what remains just as important as ever?

Here are a few key takeaways from the conversation:

Digital tools and AI can significantly boost efficiency in sales preparation and research.
Platforms like LinkedIn have become indispensable channels for communication and networking.
At the same time, one thing remains crucial: sales is, and always will be, a business between people.

👉 As Marvin puts it in the podcast: "Approaching the customer directly – that will always be there."

Can sugar become a key raw material for the chemical industry?

In the second episode, our host and Sales Manager Daniel Heimbach talks to industry expert Arvind Chudasama about the role of sugar as a potential key raw material for bio-based plastics, chemicals and sustainable industrial processes.

The conversation explores the opportunities and challenges of industrial biotechnology – from major international projects to questions of economic viability and regulatory frameworks.

Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:

Sugar-based raw materials could play an important role in reducing dependence on fossil resources.
Scaling innovative technologies from pilot projects to industrial production remains a major challenge.
Economic viability and regulatory frameworks are decisive factors for wider market penetration.

👉 According to Arvind Chudasama, sugar mills could become the "platforms of the next industrial revolution".

What Should Marketing Actually Deliver Today?

In the third episode, our host and Head of Sales, Daniel Heimbach, talks to Stephanie Wedehase from KEBO and Tobias Voigt from Markenmut AG about the changes taking place in B2B marketing and how a specialist chemicals company with a 100-year history is continuing to evolve its communications.

The conversation covers everything from positioning and brand development to collaboration between marketing and sales, as well as new technologies and AI. The focus is not on following every new trend, but on creating structures that fit KEBO, its markets and its customers.

Here are some key takeaways from the episode:

Customers are increasingly finding information independently through new digital channels and AI systems.
This makes visibility and discoverability important responsibilities for marketing.
Positioning does not start with individual communications activities or tools. It needs to fit the company and be understood and embraced internally.
Marketing, sales and other areas of the business need to work together to turn individual activities into a functioning system.
AI and new technologies can support this system. However, understanding markets and customer needs remains crucial.

The products shown on our website are only a selection of our entire product range. There is no universal remedy for the rapid removal of impurities. Some can be removed well with alkaline agents, others better in the acidic range. The large variety of conceivable cleaning problems and the large number of additives, inhibitors and ready-to-use cleaning solutions offered by us make it advisable to obtain detailed advice before starting cleaning.
The same applies to inhibitors, defoamers, scale preventers, corrosion inhibitors, pickling inhibitors, etc. Depending on the plant, material, product and the type of boiler/cooling water is used, different individual challenges arise. We are well equipped for them.

Talk to us, we will be happy to help!
On request, we can analyze deposits in our laboratory and develop a cleaning strategy based on our many years of experience, taking into account the conditions on site.
