Innovative Industrial Paper Process Technology and Economic Advantages

Abstract

The manipulation of variables of operating conditions, such as time, temperature and pressure, triggered an innovative process to obtain a cellulosic paste. The same presented in the studies carried out in laboratory and pilot plant a yield of 52.5% of cellulose paste, a value higher than the yield from a chemical process to soda or Kraft, both corresponding to 50%. It also produced a type of paper with properties highly valued by the paper industries. In addition, the mechanical properties obtained are satisfactory for use in the corrugating industries. The costs of the process and innovative product are highly advantageous compared to the costs of a current process for obtaining the final product.
