STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP (ENERGY SECTOR)
The objective of this thesis was to study the interactions of microbial activity, biocide usage
and creation, and chemical changes in the papermaking process. The main focus was on
oxidative biocide systems. In addition, new measurement and biocide production methods
were applied to papermaking, and evaluated for the monitoring and control of the
microbiological state and biocide usage. The measurement methods were based on portable
handheld online equipments whereas the biocide production was based on electrochemical
generation of biocides.
The trials were mainly performed in pilot scale with actual process samples and
complemented with a few laboratory trials. Most of...
