The Challenge: High Costs & Quality Issues
Efficient and reliable water treatment is critical for maintaining smooth operations in paper and board manufacturing. This leading paper manufacturer faced persistent issues with high microbial activity and slime growth, which directly impacted product quality and the working environment.
Excessive Biocide Consumption
High chemical usage drove up costs while failing to deliver consistent microbial control across the water systems.
Microbial Growth & Slime
Persistent microbial activity led to slime growth, causing paper defects such as holes and undermining product quality.
Unpleasant Working Environment
Strong odours from high biocide dosing created an unpleasant and potentially hazardous workplace for employees.
Unstable Operations
The mill's demanding water system increased the risk of microbial regrowth, making operations unstable and costly.
The Solution: ChloroKlean Plus Slime Control
To overcome these challenges, the manufacturer adopted ChloroKlean Plus, an innovative biocide known for its stable and effective chlorine dioxide technology.
Single-Component Slime Control
ChloroKlean Plus provided a streamlined, single-component solution that completely replaced DBNPA, simplifying the treatment process.
Optimised Free Chlorine Levels
By optimising free chlorine levels, the team maintained system cleanliness while significantly reducing overall chemical consumption.
Broad-Spectrum Microbial Control
This approach delivered effective control across both short and long circulation systems, improving stability throughout the operation.
Measurable Results
67-74% Less Chemical Use
Dramatic reduction in biocide dosing, cutting chemical consumption and associated handling requirements significantly.
35% Annual Cost Savings
Substantial reduction in treatment costs, delivering measurable improvements to the bottom line.
Improved Product Quality
Fewer paper defects and improved consistency, with stable microbiological control maintaining reliable system performance.
"By switching to ChloroKlean Plus, the manufacturer achieved cost efficiency, sustainability, and improved working conditions, while also strengthening product quality. These results highlight how an optimised, single-component treatment approach can deliver long-term operational stability and efficiency in paper manufacturing."
