Separation of Cellulose on a Pilot Scale
Separation of cellulose from forests, agriculture and the sea is a fundamental part of biorefinery and sustainable production. The earth's circular and renewable raw materials are in demand and should be sufficient for a lot and increasing the need for research and development of them so that each element is put to good use.
Cellulose Separation in a Pilot Plant
RISE has developed flexible pilot methods to simulate all commercial cooking processes and optimise both kraft and sulphite pulping. By using wood chip and liquor samples, the pilot digester can recreate mill environments and support biorefinery research.
Key Benefits:
- Improved yield and process efficiency
- Cleaner and more sustainable production
- Digitalisation and simulation capabilities
- Optimised separation and purification
Flexible Cooking Process:
- Time & Temperature: Precise control for optimal cellulose yield
- Cooking Liquors: Adjustable concentrations and flow rates
- Batch & Continuous Cooking: Simulates industrial processes
- Large-Scale Testing: Handles up to 40 kg of wood chips
This advanced separation technology enables efficient cellulose extraction from various wood species and chip sizes, driving innovation in the pulp and biorefinery industries.
Real-time Chip Impregnation Pilot
Impregnation studies are of interest for all chemical pulp processes, whether the end product is paper pulp or dissolving pulp. It is especially important to have properly impregnated chips for pulp mills seeking to increase production or encountering issues related to impregnation.
