Fiber Properties of Organocell Pulps, 1992 Solvent Pulping Symposium Proceedings
For the scaling up of a process from laboratory scale to a large scale implementation and for an evaluation of fiber qualities at a later date it is not only of importance to have the process thoroughly researched, but it is also of importance to have knowledge of the mode of operation of the machines used in the process and to properly assess their effectivity. On the way from the laboratory to the large scale implementation, fiber quality and process parameters must not be extrapolated linearly since different processes may lead to incorrect decisions (1, 2). Using the Organocell Process as an example it will be demonstrated which points are of importance in the scale-up of the process.
