ENZYMES A POWERFUL TOOL IN PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY

OPTIMIZE REFINING PROCESS

GAMA SERZYM

The refining remains an indispensable element in most pulp preparation process. Its main objective is to achieve a fibrillating effect which increases the surface area of the fiber and its ability to create new links. We must take into consideration that there is no perfect refining when it comes to mechanical refining.

The enzyme does not replace the refining step in the pulp preparation process but accelerate the breakdown of the glycosidic linkage of cellulose fiber and therefore increase performance of fibrillation.

Our enzymatic technology is based on an Endo-glucanase.

The Endo-glucanase opens the area of the fiber which helps to accelerate the breakdown of the glycosidic linkage, causing less damage to the fiber to achieve a fibrillation effect, practically perfect on the fiber.

Refining

Refining energy reduction

Chance to shut down a refiner

Increase refiner capacity

Less damage on the fiber

Better sheet formation

In consequence

Chance to increse paper physical properties

Increase thickness

Increase porosity

Chance to increase drainage

Dimensional stability

Chemicals reactivity (less product)

Reduce consumption of dyes

Chance to increase use of recycled pulp in blended furnishies

A longer lifetime of the lining elements of the refiners

A longer lifetime of the fiber as the fiber can be recycled several times
