    Spot problems originate from deposition of pitch, stickies and latex in the dryer section is becoming a critical problem under high recycled pulp furnish, closed system and alkalization conditions. These spots lead to production and quality problems such as an increase of broke and joint work. To date, not a few pitch control programs have been tried, high-pressure fabric (canvas) showers have been developed. However none of them have met with industry-wide acceptance.
    Maintech has developed a spot prevention program, a total solution that passivates all surfaces in the paper machine where the deposition could increase spots. The resulting surface passivation prevents depositions on wire, felt, press rolls, cylinder, fabric and calendar rolls and drastically reduces the number of spots on paper. Mills can take considerable advantage of this program. Elimination of deposits in the paper machine reduces not only the number of joints in the finished rolls but also reduced tonnage and down time for M⁄C cleaning. This paper reviews an investigative method of spot generation from dryer fabric deposition. Case histories illustrating benefits in news print and liner board M⁄C are presented.

    Alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) emulsion sizing agents have been widely used in alkaline papermaking systems for various paper grades from slack-sized to hard-sized papers. Various kinds of AKD sizing agents have been available in Japan. These sizing agents contain AKD waxes with different chain lengths of linear alkyl chains as raw materials. Recently, we have developed novel sizing agent of liquid-type AKD with branched alkyl chains and placed it on the market in Japan. Selections of AKD sizing agent appropriate to each grade of papers and papermaking conditions are crucial to improve paper properties and machine runnability. Thus, to do this, it is important to understand various kinds of available AKD sizing agents including liquid-type AKD. In this paper, physical properties such as melting point and crystallization temperature of AKDs themselves with various chemical structures and their hydrolysis products are described. The physical properties of their emulsion sizing agents are also described. Then effects of chemical structures, i.e. chain length and topological structure, on paper properties such as sizing degree and friction coefficient and on the lamination coating in the finishing process are discussed. Finally combination usages of AKD sizing agent and other paper chemicals such as cationic polymers are exemplified.

    To reduce variation in product quality in paper production field is one of the most important control items to win in the tough competition in the global market.
    In the product range of “TAPIO Profile Analyzer” supplied by TAPIO Technologies Oy, a paper analyzer manufacturer in Finland, they have a line-up of PMA (Paper Machine Analyzer) , TS-Profiler and BCX.
    Those analyzers catch not only variations in CD direction as well as MD direction but also find out and sort out variations which are complicatedly entangled in both CD and MD directions from seemingly irregular variations, and provide users of the analyzers with useful and effective measures to locate and give solutions to a questionable part in the paper machine that has produced a cause of quality variations, and also review control parameters for their optimization.
    TAPIO Profile Analyzers have been introduced in not only many paper mills in the world but also major paper machine manufacturers such as Metso and Voith. The measurement method with TAPIO Profile Analyzer is widely adopted as defect standard in the paper industry and as a standard measurement method to verify performance specifications for a new paper machine and a rebuilt machine as well.
    This article introduces the outline, features, difference and advantage from the conventional methods, analysis method, and typical problems found from the measurement results.

    Usually, aerobic treatment is applied to the treatment of wastewater from the process of manufacturing pulp. This time, the anaerobic treatment was applied to evaporator drain, deinked pulp wastewater, and bleaching wastewater, with a pilot test plant. The result, high COD removal and high load were obtained in anaerobic treatment of the drain from evaporator though its drain contains inhibitory substances. On the other hand, gas recovery in case of deinked pulp wastewater is smaller than in evaporator drain, and COD removal is small in case of bleaching wastewater.

    Matt coated papers form a significant and increasing segment of coated paper sector because they fulfill the demand for a paper with high brightness, less glare and moderate gloss to get easy readability. Conventionally, matt coated papers have been produced by compromising between brightness, gloss and print abrasion. Especially, in matt applications, a high amount of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) gives good brightness, but relatively results in low print abrasion (also known as smudging or scuffing) . The print abrasion which occurs during the bookbinding process or transportation process is critical problem for matt coated paper. Ideally, a matt coating system would produce a high brightness coating with good print abrasion. Optimization of particle size, particle shape of pigments, blends of pigments and varnishing are therefore used to try to reach a balance of properties and to eliminate this problem.
    In this paper, we considered that print abrasion was influenced by surface profile of coating layer ; we study on the phenomenon, investigated clarification of the key factor of print abrasion trouble with using scanning white-light interferometer. In addition, this paper presents a new approach to matt coated paper design based on plastic pigment components. As a result, it was found that coated paper surface profile influenced to print abrasion ; furthermore it was shown that the new pigment system could improve print abrasion without affecting matt coated paper performance like moderate gloss, resulting in a coarse blocky plastic pigment was used as a “spacer” to reduce print abrasion.

    Water consumption not only represents a significant expense for pulp and paper mills and that alone is enough reason for them to look at ways to cut down its usage, but also is increasingly being recognized as a valuable natural resource and industry therefore finds itself under pressure to reduce its water consumption. Increasingly tight environmental regulations covering discharges and pollution are adding to the pressure to use less water and threaten major penalties for those who break them. Mill operators are increasingly being encouraged to question every incidence of water usage and to ask if their total consumption can be reduced. Yet they cannot afford to let this impact on their production or to degrade their levels of efficiency.
    Modern technology has created opportunities for water savings in some unlikely areas, prominent among which is the water used in mechanical seals.

    It is said that a region of high temperature (thousands of°C) and high pressure (thousands atmospheric pressure) rises, at the moment when a micro bubble disappears in liquor, and that microorganisms and chemical substance in liquor can be decomposed in the region. In this report, suitable conditions for generating most bubbles whose diameter are 50 micrometers or less underwater were found out using a micro bubble generator (revolution type) at first, and then they were applied to effluent treatment. Although SS decreased approximately by 60% by floatation with the micro bubble, the reduction of COD was not so remarkable. The reduction of COD is considered to be caused by reduction of SS and is not based on decomposition. As a result of applying ozone to micro bubble processing, COD decreased by 22% at the ozone concentration 125 g⁄m3, and the decrease was more than in case of conventional bubbles. COD in this case was measured after filtration. The cause of the not so large reduction (22%) of COD is thought that a region of high temperature and high pressure did not rise at the moment when a bubble disappeared.
