Pulp

There’s always room for improvement in any pulp line or bleaching operations. Kemira offers targeted chemistry and applications know-how that can help you squeeze more efficiency and profitability out of your process. Extensive R&D and application knowledge throughout the entire papermaking process helps you also with your pulp quality and environmental performance.

Strong, bright and clean pulp

No matter what pulping process you may be using, the target is to pump out strong, bright and clean pulp that will make good paper. Unfortunately your fiber line is only as strong as its weakest link and any problems in pulp will be magnified in the final paper.

To eliminate weak links and reduce costly bottlenecks you need to correctly manage many inter-related, and sometimes competing, reactions. With the right understanding of the complex chemistry, you can get big gains.

Kemira’s deep pulp and paper chemistry expertise – from the wood itself, through pulp and papermaking, to coating and converting – offers valuable advantages. Our complete pulp chemistry portfolio, together with strong fiber processing know-how and analysis tools, can support you in eliminating troublesome bottlenecks and pushing your production and profitability to higher levels.

For any challenge you may have in your pulp mill, bleach operations or deinking line, our pulping chemistry experience from around the world can help you get stronger, brighter and cleaner pulp.

Total production efficiency for lower costs and higher output

There are always pressures and opportunities to reach better efficiencies in your pulp operations. From incoming water, through pulping, bleaching and deinking, to outgoing effluent, big economic gains can sometimes be made in areas you may not yet have realized. Cost benefits and production increases can result from actions as simple as changing the chemical injection point, to something as ambitious as building an on-site chemical production plant, the so-called chemical island.

To help you find hidden efficiency-boosting, cost-saving opportunities, we will go through your process in a systematic way. We have experience with fiber lines around the world where we have increased pulping and bleaching yields and efficiencies, while removing production bottlenecks.

We can help you make more high-quality pulp at a lower cost, and optimize your use of chemicals for brown stock washing, scale and pitch control and water treatment. Always meeting the targets for environmental performance.
