H. Leopold, TECHNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ORGANOCELL PU LP - THE LATEST EXPERIENCESAFTER THE START UP OF THE PULP-MILL IN KELHEIM, Das Papier, 47(10A), 1993, pp. 220000001-220000005
Fluff pulp production was the first product strategy of the Bayerische
Zellstoff GmbH in Kelheim. This decision has been taken for three rea
sons: First, with adding methanol and using saw mill residual wood it
is possible to get a very long fibered pulp. Secondly, fibre strength
is of secondary importance and there are other quality parameters to c
ome to the fore. These quality demands could be met through large scal
e tests. The third and most important criterion is the price for fluff
pulp (higher than for paper pulp). With producing high-quality fluff
pulp a solid basis for the sale of ORGANOCELL pulp is given. After thi
s phase of fluff pulp production the making of paper grade pulp will b
e worked out Further application fields of ORGANOCELL pulp such as dis
solving pulp or specialty pulp for will be elaborated in cooperation w
ith the processing industries. This strategy will allow to introduce O
RGANOCELL pulp into the market step by step.
