Refiners are the critical technical entry point for
CPLP’s Premium Reinforcement Pulp (PRP) to your process.
Optimizing the performance of your refiners to our PRP
is the first technical step toward mutual value
creation. At CPLP we take this opportunity very
seriously therefore we have provided a series of
seminars for you. The information contained in the
attached presentations has been complied by Professor
Richard Kerekes, a respected authority in kraft pulp
refining and the recipient of Tappi’s 2010 Gunnar
Nicholson Gold Medal Award. These presentations provide
you with important introductory information, an overview
of modern kraft pulp refining, and selected advanced
topics in the field which will support operations,
purchases and meaningful assessments of refining
outcomes.
Part 1 covers the basics including:
Changes in fibres
Effects on paper properties
Refiner mechanics
Energy and intensity in refining
Types of refiners
Refiner control
Parts 2 and 3 provide more detailed information
on specific topics including:
Methods of assessing refining results
Laboratory vs industrial refiners
Series and parallel refiners
Co-refining species
Newer methods of characterizing refining intensity
