The paper industry in India is one of the 35 high priority industries and is growing @6% per annum. The installed capacity of paper production is presently 9.18 million tons which is likely to be doubled in the next 10 years. Despite of steady growth the paper industry continues to confront with the issues such as sustained availability of good quality of raw material and its effective utilisation, obsolescence of technology, higher cost of production and environmental management. The long term sustainability and competitiveness of the industry will largely depend upon how these issues are addressed.

Central Pulp & Paper Research Institute (CPPRI) has formulated the research programme focussed on these areas after detailed discussions with Indian Paper Industry Associations. Under XI Plan scheme following three major activities were finalized

- Governing Council (GC) of CPPRI - Comprising of representatives of Paper Industry, Ministry of Commerce & Industry (Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion), Department of Science & Technology (DST), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Indian Council of Forest Research & Education (ICFRE) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee.

- Research Advisory Committee (RAC) of CPPRI - which includes prominent scientists and technologist and also representatives of concerned departments such as Department of Science & Technology (DST), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Indian Council of Forest Research & Education (ICFRE) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee and representatives from Paper Industry.

(a) Storage and preservation of fibrous raw materials used in Indian pulp & paper industries.

Indian Paper industry uses a wide variety of woody and non-woody raw materials. These raw materials are normally stored in the forest depots and mill yards, some times upto a period of nine months to one year. It has been observed by most of the paper mills that these raw materials are highly vulnerable to natural bio-degradation, fungal and insect attack. This causes fibre loss, poor fibre yield and low intrinsic strength of fibre thus deteriorating the quality of paper.

This project is aimed at reducing the storage losses by application of environmental friendly preservatives and study the effect of different storage period on end product.

Studies are being conducted in selected mills using Subabul, Casurina, Hardwoods, Bagasse, Eucalyptus, & Bamboo for different storage period to assess the losses and impact on pulp & paper properties. Studies so far has revealed that storage of raw material adversely affects the yield and strength of raw material. The yield of bagasse and rice straw dropped by 8-10% during storage and pulp strength (Tensile strength) dropped by 5-10% for different raw material.

(b) Printing Quality Evaluation- Assessment and Improvement for Indigenous Coated Paper and paperboard.

The use of coated paper is gaining market in India. Due to the diversity of fibrous raw material used by the paper industry, a lot of variation is observed in coating quality Coating in paper is done primarily to improve printability of paper by enhancing smoothness and improving optical properties. Coating of paper is a multivariate system. There are number of parameters which needs to be optimised and therefore a thorough understanding of influences all these parameters needs to be studied systematically for different coated paper.

The project is aimed in depth study on printing quality of indigenous coated paper and paperboard and identifying the possible ways for improving quality of coated paper.

(c) Optimization of Wet End Operations of Paper making to improve the Quality of Paper

A paper making furnish is the suspension of charged particles- fibers, fiber fines, filler particles and anionic trash. Understanding of interaction among these charged particles is the key to wet end. Surface charge plays an important role in controlling the performance of wet end chemicals in paper making. It is therefore important that the colloidal charges of fibres are evaluated systematically for efficient operation.

The project is aimed at optimising the wet end of paper machine of 2-3 mills to improve paper economics and quality. The project has been initiated from April, 2009.

(a) Improving the Rheological & Combustion behavior of Non-Wood Black Liquor for Enhanced Energy & Chemical Recovery

Black liquor generated in non-wood based pulp mill differs substantially from the wood black liquor. Presence of high amount of non-process elements and poor thermal & rheological properties of these non-wood black liquors limits both energy & chemical recovery.

The project is aimed at improving recovery boiler efficiency so as to make chemical recovery operation highly efficient through improved rheological and combustion behaviour of black liquor.

Studies conducted in selected mills to assess the levels of NPE’s (Chloride & Potassium) in black liquor has revealed that the level of chlorides ranges between 1.0-2.0% and level of potassium ranges between 3.5- 7.0% which is detrimental to recovery boiler operation. CPPRI has developed and validated the technology on bench scale to remove Potassium & Chlorides from ESP ash and thereby reducing the NPE’s level in the black liquor. CPPRI also provided technical support for successfully commissioning of first ever mill scale desilication plant for removal of silica in a rice straw based mill (30tpd) in collaboration with M/s ENMAS/Andritz Pvt. Ltd., Chennai.

(b) Integrated Approach for Improving the Environmental Status of Pulp & Paper Industry

In last few years due to increased public awareness, strict environmental compliance tough competition even in domestic market for better product quality, the mills have already taken considerable efforts to reduce pollution load and volume of waste water discharge. However, the measure taken by the mill so far are not sufficient to comply with the new emerging environmental issues particularly level of waste water discharge, level of AOX, disposal of AOX bearing ETP sludge etc.

The environmental issues in small scale agro based mills are more serious and critical as the existing ETP in these mills though adequate but are mostly operating below optimum level either due to overloading or lack of understanding of basics and regular monitoring.

Keeping in view of the above mentioned environment issues. The project is planned with an aim to reduce pollution load in both categories i.e. small scale agro based & large scale wood based pulp & paper mills involving reuse/recycle of resources, disposal of ETP sludge, management of NCG emissions & air pollutions including techno-economic viability of tertiary treatment to reduce colour and toxicity of effluents as well handling & disposal of AOX bearing ETP sludge as it has been notified as hazardous waste.

Performance evaluation of existing ETP conducted in 3 mills. Based on CPPRI’s recommendation the performance of ETP of bamboo based mill improved by 84% for COD removal, 62% for AOX removal, 18% for suspended solids removal & 4 % for BOD removal. Performance efficiency of air pollution monitoring equipments conducted in 5 mills. In most of the mill the emissions are within the permissible discharge limit.

In the last few years, the enzyme application in pulp & paper manufacturing has gained a momentum to reduce production cost through cleaner production techniques. In the similar lines institute has extended its activities in the area of bio-refining to reduce energy usage in stock preparation and biological treatment of effluents for reduction of color & toxicity.

The project is aimed to develop and promote biotechnological applications in pulp and paper industry as clean & green technology to address problems of environmental pollution. The activities basically includes enzymatic refining of the virgin (wood and non-wood) and recycled fibres for reduction in refining energy with improved paper quality and the development of viable biotech-based technologies for the enzyme-bleaching including the bioremediation of effluents generated from large pulp and paper mills. Besides above, project activities also include development of infrastructure covering the construction of a biotechnology laboratory to extend the above R & D activities.

(a) Strengthening of training & Human Resource Development (HRD) infrastructure in Pulp, Paper & Allied Industries

Continuing education has been a routine in all the western countries as it contributes significantly to the improvement of individual skills to deal with the new challenges in shop floor. However, in contrast to this technical manpower in Indian pulp & paper mills do not receive any significant training during the service. Continuous education is essential to improve the technical capabilities of the mill personnel, as there is consistent increase in the use of new technologies in the paper industry to meet the market demands. In India there is no institute that imparts technical training to the mill on continuous basis.

Therefore in view of above the project is initiated with an aim to create infrastructure facilities for imparting training to the technical manpower of the pulp, paper and allied industries across the country on a sustainable basis.

(b) Infrastructure Development for Extension of Library & Documentation Service to the Indian Paper Industry

The project aim is to collect/update the knowledge in Pulp, Paper & Allied Industry and disseminate the research and development work carried out in CPPRI for last 25 years to Indian Paper Industry through various publications, periodicals and through electronics media.

Over the years the use of recovered paper in the paper industry has increased and will continue to remain as a main raw material for paper making in the years to come. One of the important basics of effective processing of waste paper is the efficiency of contaminant removal, which depends mainly on selection of appropriate process configuration equipment and optimum process parameters for the particular waste paper/raw material furnish.

In the past few years CPPRI has done extensive work in the area of contaminant control & effective processing of waste paper, which included repulping of wet strength paper, quantification and control of stickies contaminants, development of new cost effective deinking technologies which have been successfully conducted on lab scale. The validation of lab findings requires pilot scale trials before implementing on commercial scale. In India and in entire Asia there is no such facility available where the lab scale research conducted at CPPRI or elsewhere could be simulated on plant scale.

Therefore this project aims at setting up of paper recycling pilot plant to demonstrate the lab scale research on a continuous plant simulating the Industrial plant conditions for processing of different varieties of recovered paper/wasted paper used by Indian paper industry.

Laboratory studies are being conducted on stickies control and bleaching of recycled fibre. Based on laboratory research & technical expertise, consultancy provided to 13 mills/agencies in Paper Recycling. Tender is being published for hiring a consultant for preparation of DPR on setting up of paper recycling pilot plant.

Engineering & Maintenance Division supports the research activities of the various divisions of the Institute by providing support systems and infrastructure for Research and Development Activities. The project is aim to up-grade the infrastructure & support systems (Electrical/ Mechanical/ Civil/ Information Technology) in the Institute in order to insure smooth functioning of the R&D and Administrative/Finance activities.
