In-line Brightness Management:  Can you afford to operate without it?, Tissue2017

With the increased demand for recycled fiber around the world, it’s becoming more and more challenging for recycled fiber mills to get consistent quality fiber. This increased incoming brightness fiber variability puts increased pressure on the deinked fiber facility and its operators to produce consistent quality fiber to meet the mills low, medium and high brightness grade requirements.

Manual brightness measurements after the bleaching stage routinely result in the operators over-feeding the bleaching chemicals to ensure they do not produce off-quality (low brightness) pulp. There is a point of diminishing return where a large increase of the bleaching chemicals will result in little or no increase in the final brightness. The operators, concerned about producing low brightness pulp, routinely overfeed the bleaching chemicals resulting in a significant increase in costs.
