Siam Kraft Industry Co., Thailand, has ordered a Petax filtration system from Kadant UK Ltd., Bury, Lancashire, U.K., a subsidiary of Westford, Mass., USA-based Kadant Inc. The Petax filtration system allows for the recycling of white water used in the papermaking process via single-stage filtration of liquids containing a high level of suspended solids. The equipment is similar to that supplied in 2009 for another kraft packaging plant in Thailand operated by the same group. The systems are expected to be delivered to the mill in the second quarter.
"The exceptional filtration offered by the Petax filtration system, removing almost all of the suspended solids over 30 microns in size in the filtrate, is achieved without the addition of chemical flocculants, fiber sweetener stock, or precoats," stated Ron Chambers, managing director of Kadant UK. "The past performance of a Petax system at a sister mill in Thailand provided strong support and rationale for the purchase of these two units by Siam Kraft Industry. We are pleased to see the value our customers place on Kadant's water management solutions to reduce water consumption and effluent in the papermaking process."
Kadant UK Ltd. is a provider of doctor blades, doctor blade holders, and doctoring systems for papermaking and other industrial processes. The division's water management products are applied to the cleaning of forming and press fabrics and the filtration of process water, while its fluid handling products, including steam systems and related components, are used to optimize heat transfer in rotating cylinders and fluid-handling systems.
