Improving runnability
Deposits on surfaces can be of an inorganic , organic or biological nature and are often found as combinations of such. The term “deposit control” is normally understood as a treatment for reducing the formation and build up of various types of attachments onto surfaces in order to achieve a better process runnability.
Scaling is known as inorganic salts attached to surfaces. Tacky organic material can build up as lumps which attach to surfaces, such as rosin derived materials in virgin pulp processes and “stickies” in recycled pulp manufacturing. Formation of “biofilms” on wetted surfaces is a well known and constantly present phenomenon. Deposits have a negative impact on both processes and the end product. Chemicals can be dosed to reduce the attachment of flowing components on surfaces of the machinery and to avoid deterioration of the quality of the pulp/paper product manufactured.

Half a century of knowledge
In 2012, Nopco Paper Technology is set to celebrate its 50th anniversary. In the same way a tree's trunk reveals its age and growth, the last fifty years have clearly made their mark and shaped the Nopco we know today.
