JSC Volga together with BASF continues the experiment in the improved newsprint production
To extend the product line the Mill’s specialists conducted experimental-industrial trials of the Improved Newsprint.
The tests took place from the 28th of June till the 10th of July this year where the workers of the TMP workshop, the paper-making workshop No.3, the laboratory and technical control department took part under the supervision of the Volga’s Process Engineering Service. The specialists of the BASF SE company conducted the startup and commissioning work and control under the TMP bleaching in high consistency beating.
As a result, the stable indicators of the newsprint production process have been archived, but the bleaching agent consumption hasn’t exceeded the planned quantity. The improved newsprint batch, manufactured in compliance with the Volga’s technical requirements, had the higher brightness that made it different from the standard newsprint.
The specialists of the Volga’s Process Engineering Service together with his foreign colleagues would coordinate the further test runs of the higher brightness newsprint that would continue till September that year.
