The Springfield pilot plant can duplicate nearly any high, medium, or low consistency pulping method currently in use. This includes all refiner-based mechanical (or chemi mechanical) pulping processes such as
- RMP
- CMP
- TMP
- CTMP
- APMP
- BCTMP
- RTS
In addition, the pilot plant duplicates fiber processing stages that occur before and after refining. These are systems for debarking, chipping, chip impregnation, pulp screening and cleaning, rejects refining, post refining and dewatering.
To more precisely replicate your mill's process, nearly all critical processes at the pilot plant have variable speed capabilitiy, including refining, screening and impregnation equipment. This technology is an additional process variable that lets us better simulate a wide range of larger production scale equipment operating conditions.
Proprietary MMI (Man/Machine/Interface) intrumentation is used to control, trend and report operational data. Each critical process control variable is automatically collected and stored per client-specified requirements. All procedures and reporting use TAPPI test standards.
