In recent years, due to soaring raw material and fuel prices, efforts to save energy and cost have become active at paper mills, especially at paperboard mills, but there are also issues in terms of stable quality maintenance and environmental measures.
In this paper, we will discuss the problem of product odor and raw materials associated with cost saving by reusing recovered fibers, using surplus sludge discharged from biological wastewater treatment processes as raw materials, and water saving and energy-saving measures by recycling white water. As a countermeasure against the problem of generating the dangerous gas hydrogen sulfide in the papermaking process and the environmental problem caused by odor generated from the dryer exhaust duct, we will introduce the Ultra BM-R (hereinafter referred to as UBM-R) system, which combines Ultra Fine Bubble (hereinafter referred to as UBF) and the recovery material modifier Mushugen BM-R (hereinafter referred to as BM-R).
