Optimised refining can deliver high quality products using less expensive fibre and reduce both chemical and energy usage.
For today’s papermaker, getting the process right is more crucial than ever – with increased use of recycled fibres, faster paper machine speeds, increased demands from customers, and a focus at all mills to reduce manufacturing costs.
This study examines the latest scientific and technical advances in refining and how they can be deployed efficiently. It takes you through the theories and fundamentals of the refining process and its effects on fibre structure and end-product properties. It looks at the latest developments in refiners and refining systems as well as the different variables affecting the process. You’ll also get a glimpse of the future of refining as well as an in-depth look at enzymatic refining along with a series of case studies.
