Valmet Oxygen Stage Optimizer
Valmet Oxygen Stage Optimizer enhances the environmentally friendly Oxygen Delignification especially during disturbances, production rate changes, pulp grade changes, or wood species changes. This process provides a unique method for lignin removal without degrading the pulp strength. The main focus is put on the management of the Kappa number development throughout the process.
Enables higher pulp brightness at reduced cost in an environmentally friendly way
