TrumpJetTrumpJet®® Flash Mixing for papermaking Flash Mixing for papermaking additivesadditives
-Transverse injection exploits circulated headbox feed stock.-Use of fresh water or filtrate is completetly eliminated
-Flash mixing takes place in time of two seconds
PATENTED Flash-Injection mixing technology
18Jet Injection Mixing for papermaking additivesJet Injection Mixing for papermaking additives
-Two or more additives can be mixed simultaneusly in groups
-Fast mixing makes it possible to bring the most important aditives close to the headbox to increase efficiency
19Jet Injection Mixing for papermaking additivesJet Injection Mixing for papermaking additives
250 installation in 20 countries:
Typical results:- quality and process improvements- reduced additive consumption- total elimination of fresh water in dilution-reduced energy consumption -reduction of CO2 emission
Jet Injection Mixing for papermaking additivesJet Injection Mixing for papermaking additivesTotal Annual Water and Energy Saving with 250 installations:35 million m3 (9 billion gal) of fresh water with 1,5 million MWh (5000 billion BTU) energy saving corresponding to more than 800.000 oil barrels
7+ hours
No energy needed to heat post-dilution water :
This gives 1,5 million MWh potential to reduce energy consumption and approx 1000.000 tons
of CO2 emissions per annum
