Paper Process Applications

Nalco offers a comprehensive portfolio of programs that are used in the papermaking process and across all grades of paper, including graphic papers, board and packaging, and tissue and towel.  Additionally, our Global Expertise Centers in the areas listed below develop and routinely deploy new technologies that apply to one or more grades, utilizing some of the most experienced people in the industry. 

  

Machine and Felt Cleaning

Nalco offers comprehensive paper machine cleaning and conditioning programs that include chemical product line technologies, analytical capabilities, and automated equipment systems. When these parts are integrated by our on-site experts into our MOC (Machine, Operational and Chemical) approach, these programs can provide our customers with improved paper machine efficiency, a reduction in material costs, energy savings and paper quality increase. 

 

Deposit Control

Nalco offers tailor-made concepts and programs that actively prevent deposits in the paper machine cycle. We offer solutions for inhibition of microbial growth in the machine cycle. By reducing the extent of microbial deposits, we help customers increase paper machine productivity, and reduce production costs and environmental impacts. Microbial control includes preservation programs that inhibit microbial growth in additives. We also offer solutions for prevention of paper machine cycle fouling.

Fiber Management

We understand that careful management of your fiber and energy resources is critical to both the quality and the efficiency of the pulping operation, especially as wood and energy costs continue to rise and manufacturers are forced to use variable sources of fiber.

 

SMART Solutions® for Fiber and Energy Management provides pulp manufacturers with the answers to increase efficiency, improve pulp quality and decrease the total cost of operation. This impacts every grade of paper produced and provides the sustainability impact and cost-competitiveness our customers need to survive in today's marketplace.

 

Retention, Drainage and Formation (RDF) and Functionals

Our integrated MOC approach provides our customers with cost effective and high-performance solutions to meet the challenges of their unique markets. Nalco’s RDF programs can be applied to a wide variety of paper grades and furnishes. Specific programs are selected based on proven laboratory screening procedures and on-machine testing protocols. Nalco also provides functional chemistries that assist in developing sheet properties and promote machine productivity.

 

Water Management

Nalco brings a comprehensive focus to water-related problems in all areas of pulp and paper mills, even those that may have historically been considered "off limits" to water specialists.  Having efficient total cost of operation management is a constant demand of the industry, and suppliers of water treatment services are in an excellent position to deliver savings far beyond the scope of just what chemicals do. Using an engineering approach - evaluating the mechanical, operational and, only lastly, the chemical aspects of an application - our sales engineers effectively demonstrate how sustainable improvement projects can be identified.

 

Boiler and Steam Management

Nalco's Boiler Best Practices program addresses your company's key business drivers of uptime and reliability. Without the steam necessary to heat the chips in the digesters, evaporate the cooking liquors, dry sheets on paper machines and drive turbines to provide for the electrical needs of the entire paper mill, papermaking operations would come to a halt.
