A live news feed this week by TEXO Consulting & Controls Inc., Canada, reports that "dissolving pulp was a hot topic at TAPPI PEERS." The feed notes that following a featured article in TAPPI's Paper360o magazine titled "Dissolving Pulp GOLD RUSH in High Gear" and "the extremely well attended session hosted by Pierre Mouyal and Freddie Sandel of the dp Group LLC, several key points came out of the lively and open discussions."
Freddie Sandel, the TEXO feed continues, "highlighted the importance of wood chips in producing consistent dissolving pulp quality." Wood chip parameters such as species, moisture, chip size, and bark content, it emphasizes, "are paramount to producing high quality dissolving pulp in meeting both viscosity targets and metal ions content specifications."
TEXO Consulting & Controls displayed its CMS Chip Management System at the PEERS event in Portland, Ore., this week, demonstrating that wood chip measurements such as moisture content, bark content, and chip size distribution "are indeed proven technologies since 2004." Sandel, the company points out, "highlighted that this mature technology is what is required by the dissolving pulp producers to keep up with quality in an increasingly competitive market."
