Improved Paper Machine Efficiency and Product Quality through Online, Real-Time Monitoring and Control of Microbial Activity and Deposit Formation

摘要

Cleaner machine surfaces, fewer sheet breaks, increased product quality and improved paper machine runnability are the result of online, real-time monitoring of microbial activity and control. Biocontrol chemical treatments are typically used to reduce microbial growth; however, classical microbiological monitoring methods have not allowed engineers to proactively adjust treatment strategies in time to prevent production upsets. Nalco's new patent pending OxiPRO™ Deposit Control Technology provides real-time evaluation of process conditions, microbial metabolic activity, and surface deposit formation, allowing for proactive modification of the treatment strategy.
