BTG expands pulp and paper measurement capabilities
BTG has acquired the kappa analyser product range from ABB, extending its measurement capabilities in the pulp and paper industry. It will form part of the pulp and paper sensors division. Measuring the kappa number is essential in the production of pulp, and the benefits of controlling variations in kappa number are felt throughout the whole pulp and papermaking process. The increasing speed of paper machines and the tougher demands of production efficiency make monitoring and controlling the pulp quality essential. Accurate measurement and control of the kappa number reduces chemical and energy consumption, leading to reduced costs and lessening the environmental impact.
