Separation of cellulose on a pilot scale

Cellulose separation in a pilot plant

RISE has developed a range of innovative pilot methods, capable of simulating all commercial cooking processes and optimising both kraft and sulphite pulping. The utilisation of wood chip and liquor samples in the pilot digester facilitates the recreation of mill environments, thereby supporting 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 facilitates the efficient extraction of cellulose from a variety of wood species and chip sizes, thereby driving innovation in the pulp and biorefinery industries.

Real-time chip Impregnation pilot

The subject of impregnation studies is of interest to all chemical pulp processes, irrespective of whether the end product is paper pulp or dissolving pulp. It is imperative for pulp mills seeking to enhance their production or grappling with impregnation-related issues to ensure the optimal impregnation of chips.
