Solenis - the global leader for specialty chemicals for Pulp and Paper industry comes to India

摘要

When a European packaging paper producer tried to increase its production, its effluent treatment plant proved too small to cope with the increased chemical oxygen demand (COD) load. Faced with either upgrading the effluent plant at a significant capital expense or limiting production in order to stay below the discharge consent limits, mill management contacted Solenis for help. After conducting a thorough system audit, the Solenis team proposed that the mill should try an innovative chemical program that fixes starch fragments and other organic fines to the paper fibers, which in turn removes those elements from the effluent. The mill agreed to evaluate the program and shortly after the trial startup, the COD load was reduced by more than 11 percent and the mill's paper machines were ramped up to full capacity, thereby maximizing paper production. Due to the success of the trial, the mill permanently adopted the Solenis program, which is marketed as "Biobond - Improving the Sustainability of Paper program" TheBiobond program ensures that the majority of incoming starch is preserved, reused and recycled, leaving the paper mill, as it should-with only the paper.
