Bahia Specialist Cellulose modernisation project, Brazil
Name and Location
Bahia Specialist Cellulose (BSC) modernisation project, Brazil.
Client
BSC.
Project Description
The modernisation project will optimise the forming section of BSC’s pulp-drying machine through the installation of automatic vacuum control valves. The process will also become more efficient with a steam box for an improved moisture cross profile and an OnQ FormingSens sensor, which measures the water weight in the pulp.
In the press section, a NipcoFlex shoe press will be installed for higher linear pressure, thus ensuring a significant improvement in web strength. Further, a higher dryness content will be achieved after the press section, allowing for production to be increased and/or energy to be saved.
