Technical Paper_Rethinking air management in Papermaking
Feature Publication
Content description
Modern papermaking faces increasing air-related process challenges as recycled furnish, higher machine speeds, shorter grade-change intervals, and stricter product requirements increase wet-end complexity. The paper examines how early mechanical deaeration in a compact short circulation can reduce reliance on defoamers, simplify chemical interactions, and improve process stability.
