Successful papermakers are already looking carefully at emerging technologies in area. Piras study offers clear thoughts and analysis on how you can capitalise on greater efficiencies, process and performance improvements... more...
Technology Developments in Refining
iSmithers Rapra Publishing 2005; US$ 460.00Optimised refining can deliver high quality products using less expensive fibre and reduce both chemical and energy usage. For todays papermaker, getting the process right is more crucial than ever with increased use of recycled fibres, faster paper machine speeds, increased demands from customers, and a focus at all mills to reduce manufacturing... more...
Developments in Tissue Chemicals and Chemical Treatments
iSmithers Rapra Publishing 2007; US$ 460.00The priorities for tissue manufacturers are similar to the rest of the paper industry: reduce costs (including fibre and raw material costs), energy consumption and water usage, and increase environmental compliance and growth through new product development targeted at consumer value and product performance. These priorities drive the development... more...
Plastic in Contact with Foodstuffs
iSmithers Rapra Publishing 2007; US$ 460.00The extensive use of plastics in food packaging has led to ever more stringent legislative measures. They're designed to protect consumers from the possible transfer of toxic chemicals when food comes into contact with these substrates. The rapid development of plastics, including degradable and biodegradable has meant that the regulations have... more...
Advances in Biodiesel
iSmithers Rapra Publishing 2007; US$ 460.00Biodiesels have been in use for many years in limited supplies, however instability in the traditional oil markets has pushed their potential to the fore. Similar performance to fossil fuels, strong ecological credentials and proven technology all add up to biodiesels offering a viable alternative which is available today. This new technology study... more...
Advances in Bioethanol
iSmithers Rapra Publishing 2007; US$ 460.00Bioethanol has proved to be an ideal substitute for gasolene, with minimal adaption of current vehicle engines to accomodate it. This versatitlity has ,meant that in some parts of the world this fuel is already being adopted on a smaller scale, with certain car manufacturers bringing out specific 'dual fuel' vehicles that can run on both petroleum... more...
