The pulp and paper industry is among the most polluting industries in the world. It contributes to water, air and soil pollution. The global demand for whiter paper has lead to unchecked used of bleaching chemicals and increased pollution.
Xylanase enzyme blends are now being used to reduce the use of these bleaching aids by degrading the precipitated xylan from the surface of the digested fibre more effectively. The use of enzymes not only reduces chemical usage and effluent toxicity but also increases the shelf life of paper.
Recycled paper production requires the process to effectively remove ink from the fibres and disperse them to prevent re-deposition. A combination of enzymes and dispersing agents may be used to effectively loosen the fibres and disperse the insoluble dyes.
Our standard products for the paper & pulp are below. Besides these we develop solutions depending on customers unique needs and conditions.
Prorefine (prorefine)
Strategic application of enzyme technology allows papermakers to maintain production rate without compromising recycled fiber strength. Refining improves the bonding characteristics of the fibers, increasing strength tests such as tensile and burst.
Richpulp (richpulp)
Paper pulp is, of course, a bio-based material comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. As such, it is amenable to modification by microbial enzymes. Such treatments are potentially more environmentally benign than chemical processes also.
