Kruger, FPInnovations start up cellulose filament plant

摘要

A scant six months after it was announced, the cellulose filament demonstration plant at Kruger's Trois-Rivieres mill is a reality. The demo facility will produce up to 5 tonnes per day of cellulose filament, enough to permit commercialization and application development of this new, bio-based strengthening agent. The production of cellulose filament is a Canadian innovation and the Trois-Rivieres. Que., facility is the first in the world to manufacture this product. Media, government officials and guests attended the official launch of the plant on June 17.
