However, despite the higher level of technology being used in the corporate sector, there has been no decline in the demand for paper. In fact, demand
for paper has increased.
In the industrial segment, paper competes with substitutes such as polymers, wood and steel for use in packaging applications. Given their lower
prices and the increasing focus on appearance, polymers pose a threat to paper in industrial applications.
Supply:
The total number of mills in the country as of 2010–11 was around 800. During the last four years the capacity has increased by 7.3%. Given the
increase in demand for paper, there have been significant capacity additions in the past few years with total capacity reaching 11.1 million tonnes in
2010–11. This increase in capacity has led to a decline in the operating rates to levels of 78–79%.
Pricing:
Paper prices in the W&P segment marginally increased for all varieties in 2010–11 as compared to 2009–10. The prices of W & P paper rose
by 5.6 per cent in 2010–11, due to the steady demand, which grew by 6.8 per cent over the same period. Price of creamwove, maplitho and art board
increased by 2.1, 7.4 and 6.6 per cent, respectively in 2010–11. In the industrial paper segment, paper prices saw a sharper rise in 2010–11 as compared

After debarking, chippers reduce the logs into one–inch cubes.
The second step in the process is termed "digesting". Wood chips are cooked at 325 degrees Fahrenheit to break down the glue–like material bonding
the wood fibers. Chemicals used in the digester are reclaimed and used in future pulp production. Following the digesting process, only brown fibers
remain which are washed and screened.
A bleaching process is used to convert brown pulp into white pulp.
The paperboard manufacturing process begins by mixing pulp with water and chemicals in the first stage, or headbox, of a paper machine. The
mixture is applied to a porous wire mesh; and formation of paper actually occurs within this step. The wire mesh travels through a press that forces
the pulp mixture against the wire to eliminate water within the mixture and to form the desired paper thickness. The material then proceeds to a
drying section where it travels across numerous cylindrical dryers that are heated with steam. In the final section of the paper machine, long sections
of paperboard are rolled up into parent rolls and are removed from the machine. The parent roll is further processed by FHPC 's customers to make
various types of paperboard containers.
Sometimes customers require additional processes to be performed on parent rolls. For example, food

Non Wood Materials
This chapter contains literature and studies regarding the effectiveness of a non–wood plant as an alternative main material for paper production. While
the first use of paper started as early as trace back to the beginning of the first millennium, paper still plays a significant role in modern everyday lives
(American Forest and Paper Association, 2013). By far, paper industry is the largest consumer of natural fibers (El Omari, Zyane, Belfkira, Taourirte,
& Brouillette, 2016). However, shortage of the original raw material, which is woods, has been increasing drastically. This huge demand created a
number of strategies on how to address the problem (Madakadze, Masamvu, Radiotis, & Smith, 2010). Aside from changing the consumption ... Show

There are lesser layers before reaching the cellulose in non–wood fibers so it would be easier to process it (Villamagna, 2009).
The study of Aremu, Rafiu, and Adedeji (2015) explained that cellulose is the part that makes the fiber of a non–wood plants stronger and these are
important parameters in determining the capability of a material for pulp and paper production.The amount of cellulose fibers will still be the same,
maintaining the same sturdiness, only that non–wood plants will save a lot more energy as it uses less refining energy than its counterpart
(Subramanian, 2008). Lastly, bleaching is the process of removing the color from the material. As Subramanian (2008) added, this is also an advantage
for non–wood users as bleaching non–wood fibers to a high brightness, requires only a shorter period of time and less corrosive chemicals than wood
fibers. These advantages would help the production to be more efficient and cost effective for the paper production.
The quality of fiber produced from this material depends on the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose and holocellulose (Kinsella, 2008). A higher
content of cellulose can give stronger fibers that will lead to the increase in the quality of the paper produced (Aremu, Rafiu & Adedeji, 2015). Since
all plant materials have cellulose in form of fibers, they are potential sources for pulp with

The Use Of Xylans And Xylanases Has Grown Remarkably
In recent years, the biotechnological use of xylans and xylanases has grown remarkably (Aristidou and Pentillä 2000; Subramaniyan and Prema
2002; Beg et al., 2001; Techapun et al., 2003). The end–products of xylan degradation of considerable importance in commercial applications are
furfural and xylitol (ParajГі et al., 1998). Xylan can be converted to ОІ–D–xylopyranosyl and its oligosaccharides via two types of hydrolysis: acid or
enzymatic. Acid hydrolysis is often preferred because it is faster, but it is accompanied by the formation of toxic compounds that may hinder
subsequent microbial fermentation. Furthermore, in the long run, it can lead to corrosion of the metallic equipment that comes in contact with the
acid. Recently, some industrial companies have shown interest in the development of efficient enzymatic processes to be used instead of acid
hydrolysis in the treatment of material containing hemicellulose. Commercial xylanases are industrially produced, for example, in Japan, Finland,
Germany, Republic of Ireland, Denmark, Canada and the USA. The microorganisms used to obtain these enzymes are Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma
sp. and Humicola insolens. Nevertheless, commercial xylanases can also be obtained from bacteria. Xylanase began to be used in the 1980s: initially
in the preparation of animal feed and later in the food, textile and paper industries. Currently, xylanase and cellulase, together with pectinases, account
for 20% of the world enzyme market.

Solar Renewable Energy System
In brewing industry, 80% of overall final energy consumption is used in the form of thermal energy where solar thermal can be used for brewing
processes as below: steam generation, malting process, stopping germination of grains, air cooling, conservation with hot air, power supplying of
washing machines, wither and kiln processes. Malting plants and breweries consume heat for their thermally driven processes at temperature level
ranges between 25В°C to 120В°C. It seems feasible to supply heat at this temperature level which is not higher than the actual amount required but in
reality the it is often decided by the consumer which needs the highest temperature. The integration of solar renewable energy system is necessary to
reduce the exergy losses and CO2 emissions [17,21,24,25].
To utilize the organic matter from brewing residues, optimized heat recovery can supply its thermalenergy demand over resources. Theoretically, the
full energy potential is not utilized so the pathway is the conventional means of energy. However, the conversion of heat from energy gained from
renewable energy resources can ensure environment friendly beer production process for future. To increase the overall energy efficiency, the
integration of solar heat energy gained from solar thermal collector technologies can be considered as a prospective alternative to fulfill the demands of
typical low temperature process heat.

The second phase of the project includes constructing a pulp mill and will cost US$1 billion.
Today (2004) PГ©rez main problem is that he has to decide whether the company should go through a horizontal expansion or a forward integration.
In others words, if the company should continue with the second phase of The Nueva Aldea project becoming the largest market pulp producer in the
world and having the possibility of foregoing other large projects in the next decade or to take advantage of their low costs in pulp production by
forward integrating into paper manufacturing.
Evaluation of the two alternatives:
As regards the horizontal expansion, there are several points that must be taken into account as they demonstrate that this option will be the correct
one: * This expansion will grow the company market share because they have a cost advantage. * For a company is better and easier to grow in a
sector that they are presently functioning. * The market seems to be moving in favor. * As a result of a horizontal expansion the company can achieve
economies of scale and reduce significantly their costs. * Pulp is AraucoВґs main industrial activity, generating up 52% of EBITDA * Pulp production

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Biomass
In order to answer this question I have to carry out an experiment. This experiment will be compared with past studies of the conversion of biomass to
biofuel.
Biomass is a term defined as plant based material. Biomass energy is derived from five energy sources: garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and
alcohol fuels. Forest residues such as dead trees, branches and tree stumps, yard clippings, wood chips and garbage are often used. It can be used for
energy production through combustion or direct burning. Raw plant and tree materials can also be refined in order to create what are called biofuels.
One example of a potential biofuel would be wood. Wood contains a lot of potential energy but in order to create the biofuel wood energy is derived
both from the direct use of harvested wood as a fuel and from wood waste streams. The largest source of energy from wood is pulping liquor, a waste
product from the industrial processes of the pulp, paper and paperboard industry.
Industrial scale biomass production is now readily being grown after an increased popularity for biofuels. Biomass is now being grown from numerous
types of plants sources, including sugarcane, grasses, switchgrass, hemp, corn, pine, bluegum, poplar, willow, and sorghum. There is little difference in
the source that the energy is extracted from.

Bounty Paper Towel Analysis
Bounty Paper Towels:
Bounty Paper Towels, known as the "The quicker picker upper" started in 1957 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They are known as the quicker picker upper
because they are so absorbent because of the pattern they have and also because they are 2–ply which makes them thicker and more absorbent. At the

Celulosa Arauco is consistently able to price their pulp lower, it will be increasingly difficult for vertically integrated companies to produce their own
pulp in–house. In a commodity market it is critical to keep costs low by maintaining high production efficiencies. I would also recommend Perez to
invest further in Research and Development, Forest Management and Genetics to improve the overall quality and life of plantations. Generating
electricity from surpluses at the pulp mills will help it to reduce costs further. Concentrating a large amount of revenues from a single source (pulp)
carries a lot of risk. Hence, I would recommend Perez to diversify into as many by–products as possible. The panels, timber and wood products market

Disadvantages
Besides having several advantages plant based renewable raw materials few limitations associated with their use are given below:
Most of the plant products that can be used as a building block for industries have conventionally been used as food resources. Plant resources need
lots a space for their development. Biomass is essentially seasonal, which affect their continuous supply as a feedstock. A broad range of materials
that comprise biomass could be damage if new processes need to be developed for each feedstock. The building blocks extracted from biomass are
foreign to traditional chemical producers and must be demonstrated to function similarly to existing building blocks.
8.Conclusions
Plant based raw materials are already replacing fossil based materials. They have high substitution potential especially for the products that have direct
contact to humans e.g. tenside in detergents, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. In addition to that, their cost effectiveness and high concerns for
environmental consequences promote their use in various industries. In the future, plant–derived chemicals are expected to play an increasingly

The Evolution Of The Orangutans
The Orangutans which are also known as Pongo abelii, are the second largest apes after the gorillas. The male Orangutans can grow up to five feet
and weigh around ninety one kilograms while the female Orangutans can reach an average height of three feet while weighing around forty five
kilograms (Shank, C., 2012). The Orangutans are well known for their ability to swing from tree to tree easily with their long arms while their legs
act as a second pair of arms when needed. Orangutans in general live up to the age of forty. The female Orangutans are able to produce one infant at a
time with a gestation period of nine months. Female Orangutans are able to produce mere three off springs during their short child bearing years, thus,
making their population growth vulnerable. The Orangutans play an important role in the ecosystem. They consume fruits and scatter the seeds
through their digestive system all around the forests. This process of scattering seeds around the forests ensures the growth of fruit bearing trees and
plants.
The Sumatran Orangutan population has depleted drastically in the last twenty to thirty years due to their habitat loss through the clearing of forests to
pave way for oil palm plantations and other agricultural developments (Gursky–Doyen, S., & Supriatna, J., 2010). With palm oil being extremely
versatile, its demand has resulted in having 48 million tonnes of palm oil being produced each year for the world export market (Oil World Trade

The energy saving process for 50 GPM of reclaimed water would roughly require about 100 to 200 square feet of common production space. Utility
requirements would be compressed air. The estimate for total connected horsepower for the entire process would range from 15 to 20 HP.
The operating and maintenance costs for this process would consist of electric power costs along with chemical purchases and maintenance costs.
The water recycle process would have to be connected with and electrical load in the range of 15 to 20 horsepower. Based upon the number of times
water recycled associated power requirements an annual cost of $7,500 would be incurred according to (O'Connor, October2006).
The chemical consumption rates estimated from the test run of this process were found to be very repetitive. The annual cost for chemicals is based

Company. "Today we see a growing momentum to reduce carbon footprints and co–create new social and economic structures." (http:/
/www.interfaceglobal.com/ Company/Leadership–Team/Ray–Watch. aspx) Sustainability consists of environmental and social performance as well as
financial performance. Companies which can incorporate these strong values and cultures are becoming more the norm than not. Many studies now
show that most companies have adapted some form of sustainability with some doing so at a higher level than others. In a study by Robert G. Eccles

to be low sustainability companies were compared. The findings of their 18 year time frame showed that the high sustainability companies
outperformed the low sustainability companies in the stock market and financially. This only occurred in a long term plan. Therefore companies who
want results in the short term might not see the results they want immediately. (Eccles and Serafeim) In today's society corporations have a

Paper mills have been known to release toxic waste materials into the water and the air in which they operate. This has not only happened here in
Maine, but also in states such as Wisconsin and Georgia. In Wisconsin, chemicals used in thepaper making process have been found in rivers, gaining
concentration in the sediment at the river bottom (Environmental Impacts of the Paper Industry, 2016). These chemicals are used "to prevent bacterial
growth in the pulp and finished paper products" (Environmental Impacts of the Paper Industry, 2016). Poisons released into the air in Georgia from the
paper industry "include nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic chemicals" as well as "mercury", "cellulosic fibers", and
"chlorophenolic wood preservatives and anti–sap stains" (Jackson, Standiford, Smith, Spencer, & Tyler, 2014). Paper production also involves the use
of great amounts of energy, causing some mills to put up their own energy generators or use large amounts of public power (Environmental Impacts
of the Paper Industry, 2016). To make paper, you must also have pulp, which comes from trees. These trees are not always responsibly resourced,

Application Of Cellulases On Juice Recovery
Application of Cellulases on Juice Recovery
Introduction
Cellulose is the most abundant compound produced from stalks, leaves, and stems (Shankar, 2011). The use of enzymes in the food industry provides
safer and higher quality products. Cellulases are enzymes which break down the sugar cellulose. Cellulase enzymes are produced by fungi, animals,
plants, and bacteria. (Zhang 2013) The cellulase enzyme has been used for various industry applications such as the textile industry, paper industry, and
juice industry. Cellulases link beta, 1,4 linkages in the cellulose chains (Zhang 2013). There are three types of cellulase enzymes: endoglucanases,
exoglucanases, and beta–glucosidases. Exoglucanases act on the reducing or non–reducing ends of cellulose (Zhang, 2013). Endoglucanases cut the
nonreducing ends of cellulose or the beta–1,4–bonds. Endoglucanases are also produced by bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals (Zhang,2013). Lastly,
beta–glucosidases are produced by archaea, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals and are known for degrading cellobiose (Zhang, 2013). All three
forms of cellulases are produced from animals, bacteria, and plants. The purpose of this paper will be to discuss mainly the cellulase enzyme and its
effect on the juice industry in addition to other applications of cellulase, and how cellulase behaves in combination with other enzymes such as
pectinase and xylanase.

However, in the case of Arauco, forward integration presents at least five big threats:
1. Customers become supplier's competitors, as a consequence, decrease the pulp demand.
2. Cost disadvantage due to its smaller scale of paper manufacture operations compared to its paper manufacturers' competitors.
3. To move the company out the boundaries of its core business into an adjacent space, where there is not a practical know–how developed.
4. Using recycled fibers from paper has several advantages, including lower cost to recycle paper than produce pulp.
5. Uncertainty about paper demand and price since computers, handle devices, and mobile phones would act as a substitute for paper.

Chemicals used in the digestor are reclaimed and reused in future pulp production. Following the digesting process, the naturally brown fibers are
washed and screened. A bleaching process converts brown pulp into white pulp. The paperboard manufacturing process begins by mixing pulp with
water and chemicals in the first stage, or headbox, of a paper machine. The mixture is applied to a porous wire mesh; formation of paper actually
occurs within this step. The wire mesh travels through a press that forces the pulp mixture against the wire to eliminate water within the mixture
and to form the desired paper thickness. The material then proceeds to a drying section where it travels across numerous cylindrical dryers that are
heated with steam. In the final section of the paper machine, long sections of paperboard (approximately five miles long and weighing ten tons) are
rolled up into parent rolls and are removed from the machine. The parent roll is further processed by FHPC's customers to make various types of
paperboard containers. Sometimes customers require additional processing on parent rolls. For example, food processors often require widths of 18
inches, rather than the standard width of a reel (approximately 12 feet). Thus, reels are loaded onto a rewinder slitter to produce eight reels 18 inches
wide from one 12–foot–wide reel. For convenience, Forest Hill had always combined labor and machine costs of the rewinder slitter with

Causes And Effects Of Deforestation
Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. According to the United Nations' Food
and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 18 million acres of forest land is lost each year attributed to deforestation alone. Deforestation happens in
most parts of the world, though tropical rainforests are usually severely affected. Deforestation has been practiced throughout history although it
has increased enormously over the past 50 years. There are many cause of deforestation. Firstly, Trees are being cut down for business purposes.
This includes timber harvesting to create commercial items such as paper, furniture and homes. In paper industries, harvested raw wood are first
turned into watery "soup" called wood pulp containing lignin, wood fibers, water and the chemicals used for pulping process. Paper industries
then bleach pulp to the color they desire depending on the type of paper needed by using a variety of chemicals. When the pulp is ready, large
machines spray the pulp mixture onto moving mesh screens to make a layered mat. The mat of pulp then goes through several processes to
remove water and dry it out. The mat is finally heated through rollers to remove any remaining water and to compress into on roll of paper which
is usually very wide. This paper is then coated with special chemicals to give it a special texture, and extra strength. Lastly, the paper rolls are cut
to desired size and then packaged for shipping to other facilities for additional processing to manipulate it into all types of specialized papers. In
home, forest products are known to form magnificent building materials. Therefore trees are commonly used to make timber which serves as a raw
material for building. Timbers of various sizes, weight and shapes are designed to fit the desire of the house needed. Some house designs my require
large bulk of timber while others requires small amount to be completed Secondly tress are being cut down to make more land available for housing

The most common sources of pulp include mixed tropical hardwood and various planted tree species such as falcate, eucalyptus, gmelina, acacia
and pinus. The most common pulp produced is kraft pulp (DBP, 1999). In the Philippines, kraft pulp is exclusively produced by PICOP. Kraft
pulp is either bleached or unbleached. Bleached kraft pulp (BKP) is mainly used in newsprint, printing writing, and tissue paper manufacture.
While Unbleached kraft pulp (UKP) is used for linerboard, sack paper, wrapping papers and board (DBP, 1999). 1.2.1.2 Secondary Fiber
Secondary fiber is produced by repulping waste paper, It is the most dominant source of fiber in the country. Usually, secondary fiber is combined at
a predetermined ratio with virgin pulp to regulate the quality of finished paper. The reason thy secondary fiber is still the most popular in usage is its
lower price compared to virgin fiber. Processing of secondary fiber also generates less pollution compared to the other sources of pulp (DBP, 1999).

seventy–five to ninety percent of the world 's paper was manufactured from hemp bast fiber. The United States first proposed making paper from hemp
pulp in the early 1930s. Although at the moment there was no machine that could be used to help mass produce hemp in a fast and cheap way.
Meanwhile, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The only knowledge about hemp that the public knew about was stories and rumors that gave Cannabis a bad name like "the killer weed with roots in
hell", because of the supposedly harmful effects that it had on the human body and brain, Nowadays with our more advanced technology has proven
that Marijuana Has more positive effects than bad ones. Little did people know that the first Levi 's blue jeans were made from the hemp plant. In
my research Paper I will include basic information on Hemp, Products made from Hemp, How Hemp can help us save paper and the environment,
How hemp can fit into our daily lives, and basic info on different parts of the Hemp plant.
First of all, hemp has been used way before any of us knew it as cannabis. Industrial hemp is known as those parts of the cannabis sativa plant which
contains less than one percent tetrahydrocannabinols also referred to as THC. THC is the psychoactive chemical found in cannabis sativa that gives
you the "high" feeling. Marijuana comes from the flowers of the cannabis sativa plant and often contain more than 1.00 percent THC. Industrial hemp
has no psychoactive properties, which means when consumed you will not experience its side effects. Industrial hemp can be grown as a profitable,
high–quality fiber crop without producing marijuana. Different seed varieties produce different levels of THC. Farmers in the Europe have been
growing hemp for over twenty years without any problems

Lenzing Ag Case
Lenzing AG: Expanding in Indonesia
Case Review
Summary
Lenzing AG is one of the worlds largest rayon fiber manufacturers, originating in Lenzing, Austria. In 1938 Lenzing AG was founded, starting pulp and
viscose fiber production.
Up until the 1980's, Lenzing was a company that held its production and management in the same country and town where the company had originated.
Until one day , the Chairman of Lenzing had agreed to go into a joint partnership with an international investor. The joint venture was with an Indian
entrepreneur by the name of Ashok Birla, who saw opportunity in Indonesia for Lenzing and the rayon industry within. Lenzing viewed this as an
opportunity to break out of their domestic Austrian market, and tap ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As a producer of rayon, Lenzing's most important fundamental constituent is dissolving grade pulp. This is a rather uncommon form of pulp, in
which they have been purchasing from Brazil to their production plant in Indonesia. This would be viewed as a weakness, as in Indonesia there are 14
pulp producers, none with the technology to create the dissolving grade pulp, but pulp none the less. I believe that Lenzing has an opportunity to
create an agreement with one or more of these local pulp producers, to enable them to produce the necessary grade of pulp.
As rayon requires a large amount of pulp for its production, they have purchased a percentage of a company in Brazil to meet their pulp needs. For
Lenzing, this was a valuable purchase and has made it possible for them to continue the production of rayon in Indonesia. Although, I believe that there
is an opportunity locally that would satisfy their need for pulp. Indonesia has 14 producers of pulp, none of them with the technology to create the
required grade that is needed in the production of rayon. Rather than purchasing a percentage of the pulp company in brazil, and having to ship the pulp
time after time internationally, it could have been a more economical transaction with the Indonesian pulp companies. There could have been an
opportunity to

In fact, demand for paper has increased. In the industrial segment, paper competes with substitutes such as polymers, wood and steel for use in packaging applications. Given their lower prices and the increasing focus on appearance, polymers pose a threat to paper in industrial applications. Supply: The total number of mills in the country as of 2010–11 was around 800. During the last four years the capacity has increased by 7.3%. Given the increase in demand for paper, there have been significant capacity additions in the past few years with total capacity reaching 11.1 million tonnes in 2010–11. This increase in capacity has led to a decline in the operating rates to levels of 78–79%. Pricing: Paper prices in the W&P segment marginally increased for all varieties in 2010–11 as compared to 2009–10. The prices of W & P paper rose by 5.6 per cent in 2010–11, due to the steady demand, which grew by 6.8 per cent over the same period.

After debarking, chippers reduce the logs into one–inch cubes. The second step in the process is termed "digesting". Wood chips are cooked at 325 degrees Fahrenheit to break down the glue–like material bonding the wood fibers. Chemicals used in the digester are reclaimed and used in future pulp production. Following the digesting process, only brown fibers remain which are washed and screened. A bleaching process is used to convert brown pulp into white pulp. The paperboard manufacturing process begins by mixing pulp with water and chemicals in the first stage, or headbox, of a paper machine. The mixture is applied to a porous wire mesh; and formation of paper actually occurs within this step. The wire mesh travels through a press that forces the pulp mixture against the wire to eliminate water within the mixture and to form the desired paper thickness. The material then proceeds to a drying section where it travels across numerous cylindrical dryers that are heated with steam. In the final section of the paper machine, long sections of paperboard are rolled up into parent rolls and are removed from the machine. The parent roll is further processed by FHPC 's customers to make various types of paperboard containers. Sometimes customers require additional processes to be performed on parent rolls.

The study of Aremu, Rafiu, and Adedeji (2015) explained that cellulose is the part that makes the fiber of a non–wood plants stronger and these are important parameters in determining the capability of a material for pulp and paper production.The amount of cellulose fibers will still be the same, maintaining the same sturdiness, only that non–wood plants will save a lot more energy as it uses less refining energy than its counterpart (Subramanian, 2008). Lastly, bleaching is the process of removing the color from the material. As Subramanian (2008) added, this is also an advantage for non–wood users as bleaching non–wood fibers to a high brightness, requires only a shorter period of time and less corrosive chemicals than wood fibers. These advantages would help the production to be more efficient and cost effective for the paper production. The quality of fiber produced from this material depends on the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose and holocellulose (Kinsella, 2008). A higher content of cellulose can give stronger fibers that will lead to the increase in the quality of the paper produced (Aremu, Rafiu & Adedeji, 2015).

  • 6. The Use Of Xylans And Xylanases Has Grown Remarkably In recent years, the biotechnological use of xylans and xylanases has grown remarkably (Aristidou and PentillГ¤ 2000; Subramaniyan and Prema 2002; Beg et al., 2001; Techapun et al., 2003). The end–products of xylan degradation of considerable importance in commercial applications are furfural and xylitol (ParajГі et al., 1998). Xylan can be converted to ОІ–D–xylopyranosyl and its oligosaccharides via two types of hydrolysis: acid or enzymatic. Acid hydrolysis is often preferred because it is faster, but it is accompanied by the formation of toxic compounds that may hinder subsequent microbial fermentation. Furthermore, in the long run, it can lead to corrosion of the metallic equipment that comes in contact with the acid. Recently, some industrial companies have shown interest in the development of efficient enzymatic processes to be used instead of acid hydrolysis in the treatment of material containing hemicellulose. Commercial xylanases are industrially produced, for example, in Japan, Finland, Germany, Republic of Ireland, Denmark, Canada and the USA. The microorganisms used to obtain these enzymes are Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma sp. and Humicola insolens. Nevertheless, commercial xylanases can also be obtained from bacteria. Xylanase began to be used in the 1980s: initially in the preparation of animal feed and later in the food, textile and paper industries. Currently, xylanase and cellulase, together with pectinases, account for 20% of the world enzyme market. 1.10.1 ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Solar Renewable Energy System In brewing industry, 80% of overall final energy consumption is used in the form of thermal energy where solar thermal can be used for brewing processes as below: steam generation, malting process, stopping germination of grains, air cooling, conservation with hot air, power supplying of washing machines, wither and kiln processes. Malting plants and breweries consume heat for their thermally driven processes at temperature level ranges between 25В°C to 120В°C. It seems feasible to supply heat at this temperature level which is not higher than the actual amount required but in reality the it is often decided by the consumer which needs the highest temperature. The integration of solar renewable energy system is necessary to reduce the exergy losses and CO2 emissions [17,21,24,25]. To utilize the organic matter from brewing residues, optimized heat recovery can supply its thermalenergy demand over resources. Theoretically, the full energy potential is not utilized so the pathway is the conventional means of energy. However, the conversion of heat from energy gained from renewable energy resources can ensure environment friendly beer production process for future. To increase the overall energy efficiency, the integration of solar heat energy gained from solar thermal collector technologies can be considered as a prospective alternative to fulfill the demands of typical low temperature process heat. 9.3.Food Industry: The most ...

In others words, if the company should continue with the second phase of The Nueva Aldea project becoming the largest market pulp producer in the world and having the possibility of foregoing other large projects in the next decade or to take advantage of their low costs in pulp production by forward integrating into paper manufacturing. Evaluation of the two alternatives: As regards the horizontal expansion, there are several points that must be taken into account as they demonstrate that this option will be the correct one: * This expansion will grow the company market share because they have a cost advantage. * For a company is better and easier to grow in a sector that they are presently functioning. * The market seems to be moving in favor. * As a result of a horizontal expansion the company can achieve economies of scale and reduce significantly their costs. * Pulp is AraucoВґs main industrial activity, generating up 52% of EBITDA * Pulp production is the core competency of Arauco. * Becoming the market leader will allow them to control supply and demand of the market of pulp. * They have young forests. * Arauco is one of the worldВґs premier forestry enterprises

  • 12. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Biomass In order to answer this question I have to carry out an experiment. This experiment will be compared with past studies of the conversion of biomass to biofuel. Biomass is a term defined as plant based material. Biomass energy is derived from five energy sources: garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and alcohol fuels. Forest residues such as dead trees, branches and tree stumps, yard clippings, wood chips and garbage are often used. It can be used for energy production through combustion or direct burning. Raw plant and tree materials can also be refined in order to create what are called biofuels. One example of a potential biofuel would be wood. Wood contains a lot of potential energy but in order to create the biofuel wood energy is derived both from the direct use of harvested wood as a fuel and from wood waste streams. The largest source of energy from wood is pulping liquor, a waste product from the industrial processes of the pulp, paper and paperboard industry. Industrial scale biomass production is now readily being grown after an increased popularity for biofuels. Biomass is now being grown from numerous types of plants sources, including sugarcane, grasses, switchgrass, hemp, corn, pine, bluegum, poplar, willow, and sorghum.

If Celulosa Arauco is consistently able to price their pulp lower, it will be increasingly difficult for vertically integrated companies to produce their own pulp in–house. In a commodity market it is critical to keep costs low by maintaining high production efficiencies. I would also recommend Perez to invest further in Research and Development, Forest Management and Genetics to improve the overall quality and life of plantations. Generating electricity from surpluses at the pulp mills will help it to reduce costs further. Concentrating a large amount of revenues from a single source (pulp) carries a lot of risk. Hence, I would recommend Perez to diversify into as many by–products as possible. The panels, timber and wood products market can create a buffer to maintain their margins when the pulp prices are volatile.

The male Orangutans can grow up to five feet and weigh around ninety one kilograms while the female Orangutans can reach an average height of three feet while weighing around forty five kilograms (Shank, C., 2012). The Orangutans are well known for their ability to swing from tree to tree easily with their long arms while their legs act as a second pair of arms when needed. Orangutans in general live up to the age of forty. The female Orangutans are able to produce one infant at a time with a gestation period of nine months.

  • 30. An Issue For Humans, The Natural World, And The Economy 1) The issue you have explored including why it is an issue for humans, the natural world, and the economy. Paper mills have been known to release toxic waste materials into the water and the air in which they operate. This has not only happened here in Maine, but also in states such as Wisconsin and Georgia. In Wisconsin, chemicals used in thepaper making process have been found in rivers, gaining concentration in the sediment at the river bottom (Environmental Impacts of the Paper Industry, 2016). These chemicals are used "to prevent bacterial growth in the pulp and finished paper products" (Environmental Impacts of the Paper Industry, 2016). Poisons released into the air in Georgia from the paper industry "include nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic chemicals" as well as "mercury", "cellulosic fibers", and "chlorophenolic wood preservatives and anti–sap stains" (Jackson, Standiford, Smith, Spencer, & Tyler, 2014). Paper production also involves the use of great amounts of energy, causing some mills to put up their own energy generators or use large amounts of public power (Environmental Impacts of the Paper Industry, 2016). To make paper, you must also have pulp, which comes from trees. These trees are not always responsibly resourced, causing some patches of trees to be cut down completely in places that have never been cut before, possibly in foreign countries (Environmental Impacts of the Paper Industry, 2016).

  • 31. Application Of Cellulases On Juice Recovery Application of Cellulases on Juice Recovery Introduction Cellulose is the most abundant compound produced from stalks, leaves, and stems (Shankar, 2011). The use of enzymes in the food industry provides safer and higher quality products. Cellulases are enzymes which break down the sugar cellulose. Cellulase enzymes are produced by fungi, animals, plants, and bacteria. (Zhang 2013) The cellulase enzyme has been used for various industry applications such as the textile industry, paper industry, and juice industry. Cellulases link beta, 1,4 linkages in the cellulose chains (Zhang 2013). There are three types of cellulase enzymes: endoglucanases, exoglucanases, and beta–glucosidases. Exoglucanases act on the reducing or non–reducing ends of cellulose (Zhang, 2013). Endoglucanases cut the nonreducing ends of cellulose or the beta–1,4–bonds. Endoglucanases are also produced by bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals (Zhang,2013). Lastly, beta–glucosidases are produced by archaea, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals and are known for degrading cellobiose (Zhang, 2013). All three forms of cellulases are produced from animals, bacteria, and plants. The purpose of this paper will be to discuss mainly the cellulase enzyme and its effect on the juice industry in addition to other applications of cellulase, and how cellulase behaves in combination with other enzymes such as pectinase and xylanase. 1.Beverage Industry Fruit contains a cell wall which consists of 10% proteins and 90% ...

Following the digesting process, the naturally brown fibers are washed and screened. A bleaching process converts brown pulp into white pulp. The paperboard manufacturing process begins by mixing pulp with water and chemicals in the first stage, or headbox, of a paper machine. The mixture is applied to a porous wire mesh; formation of paper actually occurs within this step. The wire mesh travels through a press that forces the pulp mixture against the wire to eliminate water within the mixture and to form the desired paper thickness. The material then proceeds to a drying section where it travels across numerous cylindrical dryers that are heated with steam. In the final section of the paper machine, long sections of paperboard (approximately five miles long and weighing ten tons) are rolled up into parent rolls and are removed from the machine. The parent roll is further processed by FHPC's customers to make various types of paperboard containers. Sometimes customers require additional processing on parent rolls. For example, food processors often require widths of 18 inches, rather than the standard width of a reel (approximately 12 feet). Thus, reels are loaded onto a rewinder slitter to produce eight reels 18 inches wide from one 12–foot–wide reel.

  • 39. Causes And Effects Of Deforestation Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 18 million acres of forest land is lost each year attributed to deforestation alone. Deforestation happens in most parts of the world, though tropical rainforests are usually severely affected. Deforestation has been practiced throughout history although it has increased enormously over the past 50 years. There are many cause of deforestation. Firstly, Trees are being cut down for business purposes. This includes timber harvesting to create commercial items such as paper, furniture and homes. In paper industries, harvested raw wood are first turned into watery "soup" called wood pulp containing lignin, wood fibers, water and the chemicals used for pulping process. Paper industries then bleach pulp to the color they desire depending on the type of paper needed by using a variety of chemicals. When the pulp is ready, large machines spray the pulp mixture onto moving mesh screens to make a layered mat. The mat of pulp then goes through several processes to remove water and dry it out. The mat is finally heated through rollers to remove any remaining water and to compress into on roll of paper which is usually very wide. This paper is then coated with special chemicals to give it a special texture, and extra strength. Lastly, the paper rolls are cut to desired size and then packaged for shipping to other facilities for additional processing to manipulate it into all types of specialized papers. In home, forest products are known to form magnificent building materials. Therefore trees are commonly used to make timber which serves as a raw material for building. Timbers of various sizes, weight and shapes are designed to fit the desire of the house needed. Some house designs my require large bulk of timber while others requires small amount to be completed Secondly tress are being cut down to make more land available for housing and urbanization.

The most common sources of pulp include mixed tropical hardwood and various planted tree species such as falcate, eucalyptus, gmelina, acacia and pinus. The most common pulp produced is kraft pulp (DBP, 1999). In the Philippines, kraft pulp is exclusively produced by PICOP. Kraft pulp is either bleached or unbleached. Bleached kraft pulp (BKP) is mainly used in newsprint, printing writing, and tissue paper manufacture. While Unbleached kraft pulp (UKP) is used for linerboard, sack paper, wrapping papers and board (DBP, 1999). 1.2.1.2 Secondary Fiber Secondary fiber is produced by repulping waste paper, It is the most dominant source of fiber in the country.

I believe that Lenzing has an opportunity to create an agreement with one or more of these local pulp producers, to enable them to produce the necessary grade of pulp. As rayon requires a large amount of pulp for its production, they have purchased a percentage of a company in Brazil to meet their pulp needs. For Lenzing, this was a valuable purchase and has made it possible for them to continue the production of rayon in Indonesia.
