As a papermaker, some of the biggest problems you face are so small you can't even see them. They are the seemingly endless array of bacterial and fungal slime, spores, and microbiological contaminants that thrive in your paper machine. Left unchecked, these microorganisms can create a variety of problems, including slime deposits, microbiologically related corrosion, spores, spots and holes, unpleasant odors, additive spoilage, and more.
Our microbiological control technology provides you with reliable and consistent:
- Control of bacterial and fungal slime deposition
- Control of anaerobic, SRB, and VFA-producing bacteria
- Reduction of microbiologically related corrosion
- Control of spores in food-grade paper
- Control of odors in paper and paperboard products
- Prevention of additive spoilage
- Finished product preservation programs (e.g., mold-inhibition)
- Control of microbiological contamination from recycled fiber use
- Control of catalase-induced degradation of hydrogen peroxide in deinked bleach plants
