Papermaking Process Cost Optimization Concepts & Mechanisms with XELOREX^TM

Abstract

The paper and board industries have always focused on reducing total costs of operation by improving the paper machine runnability and paper formulation sustainability. Some of the key driving actions in this context involve the optimization of the wet end formulation and improving the production output of today's paper and board machines. In our paper, we will present an overview of the BASF chemicals and application approaches to achieve these objectives. We will provide case studies on mill scale, to support and validate our concepts and mechanisms.
