Transportable demonstration factory for production of cellulose dry strength additives

Transportable demonstration unit for production of dry strength additives: multi-fibrillated cellulose (MFC) and highly refined pulp. It is unique in that it enables mill trials under production conditions.

A transportable demonstration pilot has been developed and constructed to enable evaluation and development of micro-fibrillated cellulose (MFC) at an industrial scale. The unit contains two containers which connect to the pulp mill’s existing production processes. The containers are designed for maximal flexibility and a production of 100 kg MFC per hour. The equipment is fed with pre-refined pulp from the pulp mill and MFC is produced through a combination of mechanical and enzymatic pre-treatments after which it’s fed back in to the mill’s paper or board production lines.

This demonstration pilot facility is unique and one of its kind in the world. It is expected to increase the speed of implementation of MFC as a strength additive within the paper and board industry. So far (March 2018), it has achieved three successful trials at different mills around Europe.
