Botnia's research and development work supports the grade specialisation goals of its mills.
Grade specialisation at the pulp mills is supported through in-depth research of wood raw material, and how it can be processed to produce pulp grades ideal for the manufacturing of numerous end products.
At the heart of our process development objectives are a fibre-friendly process, energy efficiency, and management of harmful sulpfur by-products and emissions.
Another goal of our development work is to gather up knowledge and expertise regarding reinforcement pulp, eucalyptus pulp, fibre processing, and fiber mixtures. Special expert development teams have been put together to tackle each of these issues.
