Old technology being replaced at Billerud Karlsborg
Sept 30 2011 The Karlsborg mill in northern Sweden is installing a Metso Kappa Q to replace two old kappa analyzers in the mill’s bleached softwood kraft fiberline.
With five sample points, pulp lignin content and brightness as well as fiber properties and shive content measurements, the new analyzer technology will provide opportunities for improved process optimization and quality control."The selection of supplier and analyzer was based on the analyzer's performance and opportunities," states Peter Carlsson, Project Manager at the Billerud Karlsborg mill.Start-up is expected to be completed during October. /AA
