Pulp washing optimization with 3D TRASAR™ for Pulp Wash

3D TRASAR for Pulp Wash delivers real‑time intelligence that automatically adjusts pulp washing performance to meet your specific business goals, whether that’s maximizing production, reducing energy and steam use, improving pulp quality consistency, or optimizing water and chemical efficiency. By continuously responding to incoming pulp conditions, the system gives you dynamic control aligned with what matters most to your operation.

Cooking stability with Uniform Wood Cooking Agent

Uniform Wood Cooking Agent enables a more uniform and efficient cook by improving cooking liquor penetration throughout the wood chip. This allows mills to actively control cooking performance to meet their priorities: higher yield, improved quality stability, reduced variability, or lower chemical and energy use.

Recovery boiler leak indication and earlier leak detection with RBLI

3D TRASAR™ for Recovery Boiler Leak Indication (RBLI) detects recovery boiler leaks earlier to help protect people, critical assets and mill uptime. By distinguishing critical from  non‑critical leaks, RBLI helps operators respond decisively, reducing unnecessary shutdowns, minimizing operational risk, and protecting  recovery boiler reliability.
