YOUR CHALLENGE:
Controlling variability that affects process chemistries
The chemistry of making paper is affected by a variety of factors that are difficult to control. Managing these variables is like trying to hit a constantly moving target.
DID YOU KNOW?
Low pH affects sizing chemistry by at least 10%.
And microbial activity increases conductivity by roughly 30%.
SO WHAT?
These variables are closely interrelated, so you can’t treat each symptom individually. Solving your immediate problem does nothing to even out process variability in the long run. You’ll still have to deal with more dissolved calcium, higher conductivity, and less efficient functional chemistries that lead to odor and corrosion.
THE SOLUTION:
Dose MCA intelligently
Countless factors—including those beyond your control—affect how process chemistries function in your environment. When you work with Buckman, you’ll dose a more stable MCA intelligently and continuously to maintain correct dosing at all times, preserving stability throughout the entire process.
Here’s what you need to do to make it happen:
Dose MCA precisely when and where you need it
BUT HOW?
With continuous MCA dosing from Buckman, you’ll maintain a steady flow at the right level to effectively manage pH, dissolved calcium, COD, and conductivity. You’ll also reduce corrosion and scale buildup. Using a continuous dosing approach that applies MCA flexibly to each dosing line, you can maintain the correct dosing at all times, at every point in the process. If you need to shut down for something like maintenance, you can maintain higher inventories without the risk of fiber degradation. You’ll not only control slime and odor, but you’ll also gain stock flexibility, reduced freshwater use, improved start-ups, and optimized functional chemistries.
Use less process chemistry
BUT HOW?
When you work with Buckman, you use a more stable MCA that contains no other chloramine types, which are highly oxidative and less process compatible. You’ll use less chemistry and limit the use of supplemental biocides to avoid swings and upsets in the system. And you’ll reduce the corrosion and improve both the stability and cost-effectiveness of your entire process.
