In the pulp and paper industry, bleaching is one of the most important parts of the manufacturing process.  After all, white bundles of clean paper are the norm in schools, offices, and businesses around the world.  However, the bleaching process is not easy because companies want to keep chemical costs at a minimum; however, the look is absolutely necessary.   In order to achieve this consistent look, many companies have been utilizing the Komax Chlorine Dioxide High Substitution Bleaching System. It’s an established and reliable part of paper mills around the world.

What Can It Do For You?

• The “Triple Action Mixer,” which is unique to the Komax design, can produce high shear that separates the pulp fibers. It does this through back mixing.
• The pulp also undergoes fluidization, which allows for excellent contact with the chemicals. In the long run, this will significantly reduce the amount of chemicals that are needed in manufacturing.
• The inline static mixers have replaced tank mixers that are large, cumbersome, and very high maintenance. By eliminating this heavy equipment, production costs are significantly reduced.

How It Works

• There is a 50% caustic solution that is injected into a static mixer where it diluted down a concentration of ten percent. This diluted mixture is what flows through the system, and chlorine gas is not injected until it reaches the input tee.
• The fine bubbles created from this mixture are combined into the main caustic stream by the static mixer.

The Komax Chlorine Dioxide High Substitution Bleaching System is proven to greatly improve gas and liquid contacting when compared to the tank systems that companies have used in the past.  Ensure that your pulp and paper manufacturing company doesn’t lag behind the competition.  Upgrade to a static mixing system today.
