Pulp & Paper - Delignification

Oxygen delignification cleans wood fibers before they are actually bleached. It is a necessary method at pulp mills looking to eliminate chlorine-bleaching chemicals in the pulp production process, or to eliminate bleach plant effluents. Oxygen delignification is also an economical alternative for the production of elemental chlorine-free pulp.

Ozone delignification is another economical alternative for eliminating, or partially replacing, the use of chlorine-containing chemicals.

Pulp & Paper - Bleaching

Oxygen in the actual bleaching process helps to further reduce costly and/or potentially harmful bleaching chemicals. And again, ozone bleaching is another economical alternative.
