FPInnovations' Roll Testing Facility (RTF) offers a complete inspection of both web and roll, through the measurement and analysis of numerous data related to web uniformity and roll structure. The Roll Testing Facility can help with web breaks, bagginess, wrinkles, and other roll structure defects, from paper to aluminum foil and plastic films. Since 2002, the RTF has tested over 4,000 rolls.

The following presentation discusses oxy-fuel combustion for the Pulp & Paper sector, specifically for the power and recovery boiler systems in a typical kraft mill. The primary objective is to produce a purified CO2 stream that is suitable for transportation and/or utilization to achieve net-zero or negative emissions. The presentation considers and discusses the pros and cons of oxy-fuel combustion in terms of boiler operation, flue gas treatment, and performance changes. Key observations on oxy-fuel combustion are discussed, including operation mode, effects of O2 concentration, and operating pressure, with a comparison to air-fired benchmarks with and without post-combustion amine capture. Major knowledge gaps are defined to deploy oxy-fuel combustion systems, including potential next steps using models and machine learning tools (TEA and LCA) being developed as part of the National CCUS Assessment Framework.

Lime kilns are an important unit operation in the kraft pulp mill, part of the recausticing cycle essential for making pulp. Oxy-firing is a potential retrofit for the lime kiln to produce a sequesterable CO2 stream without negative impact on the lime quality. We look at the effect of switching from air-firing to oxy-firing with recycle on combustion, heat transfer, and calcination. We summarize the relevant work done in Europe for the cement kiln and its implications for the lime kiln.

Initiative SM2. Projet scies circulaires, augmentation du rendement des scies par l'amélioration de leur matériau, de la géométrie des arrêtes de coupe et de la réduction de la friction
Dans le procede de sciage, la performance des scies circulates a un effet majeur sur le rendement en sciage et sur la qualite du produit fini. En vue de maintenir le rendement des scies a un niveau acceptable, les scies sont actuellement remplacees et affutees au moins une fois par quart de travail, ce qui exige un budget et un temps de main-d'oeuvre consequents. Les couts de production de I'usine peuvent ainsi etre reduits en ameliorant la duree de vie des scies et en diminuant les arrets non planifies. De plus, la variation de sciage diminuera si I'usure des aretes traitees est moins rapide de celles non traitees.
L'objectif global du projet a ete le developpement d'une nouvelle generation de scies circulaires et de guides ultras performants. Pour atteindre cet objectif, FPInnovations, en collaboration avec I'Universite Laval et le Centre de metallurgie du Quebec, a travaille sur cinq axes de recherche :
1. Optimisation de la microstructure du substrat d'acier de la plaque de scie
2. Utilisation des lasers pour le traitement thermique et la modification de surface des gorges
3. Optimisation geometrique de I'arete tranchante des dents de scie et developpement d'un revetement PVD (depot physique en phase vapeur) par pulverisation cathodique
4. Amelioration de la resistance a I'usure et du coefficient de friction des guides par I'utilisation de lubrifiant solide
5. Ebauche de lames de scie multimateriaux

The tissue dust and lint tester developed by FPInnovations is now available to tissue makers as a testing service for product quality monitoring and performance benchmarking. The dust and lint tester can also be used for measuring surface strength on paper towel and wipes. This testing service, combined with other tissue testing capabilities at FPInnovations can help tissue makers identify the causes of high tissue dusting and linting tendency.

CCUS for the Pulp and Paper Industry Webinars – Session 1 Video 2.
This workshop presentation by Dr. Robin Hughs will provide an overview of CO2 capture using adsorption. These technologies promise to substantially reduce the costs of CO2, lower thermal energy requirements and permit flexible operation to meet the demands of complex and variable operations. The presentation begins with a simple explanation of how adsorption based technologies work, presents flowsheets for implementation, and identifies elements that should be considered if the technologies are to be deployed at pulp and paper mills.

CCUS for the Pulp and Paper Industry Webinars – Session 1 Video 1, a presentation by Professor Naoko Ellis
The targets set at COP26 in Glasgow call for urgent action around the world to alleviate the disastrous impact of climate emergency. Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is unanimously recognized around the world, at international and national levels, as a key pillar necessary to achieve net-zero emissions alongside energy efficiency, electrification, hydrogen and biomass. CCUS can reduce emissions from a broad range of processes, and can also compensate those emissions in hard-to-abate and hard-to-electrify processes with negative emissions through bio-energy Carbon Capture and Sequestration (BECCS). The high-level overview of the CCUS in BC will provide a framework on how to consider CCUS and some contextual issues associated with CCUS in BC
