Objective
TO TRY TO PRE-CRUSH EUCALYPTUS CHIPS TO INCREASE PULP YIELD IN SULPHATE PULPING.
WITHIN THE PREVIOUS DG12 RESEARCH PROGRAMME, THE ECOLE FRANCAISE DE PAPIER DEVELOPED A METHOD OF PRETREATING CHIPS USING A FIXED GAP PRESS. THE PRESS IS AT THE CENTRE TECHNIQUE DU PAPIER. THE WORK DEMONSTRATED THAT HIGHER YIELDS WERE AVAILABLE BY RESULTING IMPROVED CHEMICAL IMPREGNATION.
IN THIS PROJECT CHIPS FROM ENCE WILL BE TREATED AT GRENOBLE UNTIL OPTIMUM CONDITIONS ARE FOUND WHEN THE CTP PRESS WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO THE ENCE MILL IN SPAIN WHERE THERE IS A EUCALYPTUS PULP PILOT PLANT. A 50 TON-A-DAY TRIAL WILL BE RUN AND THE RESULTING PULPS EVALUATED ON FULL SCALE OPERATION.
