Freddie Sandel, the TEXO feed continues, "highlighted the importance of wood chips in producing consistent dissolving pulp quality." Wood chip parameters such as species, moisture, chip size, and bark content, it emphasizes, "are paramount to producing high quality dissolving pulp in meeting both viscosity targets and metal ions content specifications."
TEXO Consulting & Controls displayed its CMS Chip Management System at the PEERS event in Portland, Ore., this week, demonstrating that wood chip measurements such as moisture content, bark content, and chip size distribution "are indeed proven technologies since 2004." Sandel, the company points out, "highlighted that this mature technology is what is required by the dissolving pulp producers to keep up with quality in an increasingly competitive market."
