CHALLENGE MICROBIOLGICAL CONTAMINATION IN PULP & PAPER INDUSTRY
Slime-free.
Germ-free.
Flawless.
We ensure control over microbiological growth
If you are confronted with slimy deposits, clogged pipes and filters, undesirable odors, spoiled raw and auxiliary materials and defects in the end product, uncontrolled growth of bacteria, fungi and algae may be the cause.
Our many years of experience in the field of microbiological control make us a competent problem solver.
With efficient solutions, we maintain and increase your productivity and ensure the quality of your end products:
Depending on the specific conditions under which undesirable microbiology grows and thrives as determined during the system survey, our application experts, supported by test results from our in-house analytics laboratory, select the ideal treatment strategy for your task.
Causes of microbiological contamination
As most substances and additives used in the paper industry and related industries are solutions or emulsions in a highly diluted aqueous environment, this provides an excellent breeding ground for the proliferation of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and fungi.
The entire paper machine cycle provides ideal conditions for the growth of microorganisms:
- pH and temperature
- Content of dissolved oxygen
- Broad nutritient supply for microorganisms:
- Chemicals and auxiliary materials
- Fibers and fines
- Trace elements
- Hydrodynamic properties of the circuit
