CHALLENGE DEPOSITS IN PULP & PAPER INDUSTRY
Deposit control at its best.
We solve deposit-related production problem
Organic and inorganic deposits in paper and fiber forming machines pose serious challenges for plant operators and are particularly problematic when they are sticky and difficult to disperse.
The resulting production disruptions, defects in the end product, clogged/corroded system parts, reduced effectiveness of additives used and shortened cleaning intervals cause higher operating costs and significantly reduce operational efficiency.
Effective and reliable deposit control, matched to the type and origin of the deposits, is therefore one of the most important tasks in the production of pulp and paper in order to avoid expensive downtimes and ensure stable processes
We understand this specific challenge and help you with intelligent solutions for deposit control and optimized machine hygiene in the circuit and periphery.
Supported by our analytical laboratory, we develop a customized treatment plan for your challenge, depending on the type and origin of the deposits.
Causes of deposits
There are numerous causes for the formation of deposits, the most relevant causes are:
- Contaminants (“Anionic Trash”):
- Pitch
- Stickies
- White Pitch
- Precipitations of additives
- Microbiologically caused
- Scales from hardness formers
Additional factors that promote the build-up of deposits are pH value, water hardness, retention times and temperature.
STANDARDS
We rely on excellent analysis
Due to the large number of possible causes for the formation of deposits, we pay particular attention to identifying the components and origin of the deposits.
All necessary analyses are carried out in our in-house laboratory by our experts.
Our analytics professionals examine vats, stickies, scrapings, paper samples, etc. and provide our application specialists with a valuable basis for developing an efficient treatment plan.
