Tapping synergies generated by value added processes

When restructuring the value added process by integrating new process chains into the papermaking industry, it is particularly important to utilise synergies. The solutions that are developed have to ensure the sustainable availability and efficient use of resources at one and the same time. New processes pose high risks. Research serves to identify future-oriented solutions for paper mills.

Innovations

• Development of technologies for obtaining platform chemicals from residual matter
• Reduce critical plant dimensions by using smart pulp and energy integration
• The urban refinery as an development option for paper mills
  
• Obtain pigments from the ashes left over after the incineration of residual matter and identify recovery routes
• Recovering fillers from sludge and returning them to paper production
