Abstract
The Finnish Pulp and Paper Research Institute has run in a technically unique refiner which offers the preconditions for a less energy-intensive TMP process. Sunds Defibrator Jylhae Oy participated in this venture, by designing and constructing a new RGP 42 DD/CD refiner. This new equipment represents the highest level of refiner mechanical pulping research and development internationally. When extensive test runs had been completed, The Finnish Pulp and Paper Research Institute assessed the energy-saving potential of a new multiple-stage refiner mechanical pulping process developed by the institute. The research test runs indicate that the energy requirement is reduced by 10-15 % with the new equipment if the process is divided into stages which can be optimized separately. The most significant feature of this new multiple-stage process is an extremely high rotation speed and high temperature in the defibration stage, and a lower rotation speed and a lower temperature in the final stages of the process. Savings of 15-20 % can probably be achieved by continuing to optimize the process; for a large magazine paper mill, this means saving 60-80 GWh a year. The most important application of the new process equipment at the moment is a technology project introduced in
