Sustainable cleaning products and practices can lead to better profitability for a paper machine. Eco-efficient methods of cleaning in paper mills can improve runnabilty, reduce downtime, and save water and energy, which can contribute to profitability at the same time as sustainability.

One example of eco-efficient cleaning is newer boilout products that can be used to reduce downtime, water, and energy use. The pH neutralization of high alkalinity boilout solutions can often be eliminated. In some cases, a boilout can be completed as a “zero discharge” process.
