Paper mills present their own set of challenges. Various key parts of the paper production process are susceptible to slime formation. The accumulation of glues, fillers, fibers and coatings lead to other contamination and fouling related issues.
Up until recently traditional chemical biocides and enzymatic mixtures have been used as microbiological control products in the paper and pulp industry to reduce breakdown time and to prevent the formation of spots and specs and other defects. Whilst the use of chemicals that are harsh on the environment has improved in some countries, the use of chemicals for Clean in Place (CIP) systems still involves downtime and significant ongoing costs.
Our ultrasonic antifouling solutions replace traditional CIP chemical cleaning to maintain operational efficiency with enhanced uptimes, reduce energy costs and to ensure optimum product quality.
Paper mill fouling occurs most commonly:-
- On screens and in filters
- In heat exchangers
- In pipes, valves process systems
- In boilers and steam systems
- In finishing and drying equipment
We have a complete suite of tried and tested solutions for the paper industry. Our ultrasonic solutions improve time between cleaning, and time between maintenance, and improve dispersion and mixing.
