Summary

Product identification

Belclene® 287

Description

Belclene 287 is a chemical designed for formulators as an alternative to polyacrylate-based calcium carbonate antiscalants for Kraft pulp operations.

Application

Specifically intended for use in Kraft pulp continuous digesters to mitigate calcium-based scale formation, which can lead to increased cleaning costs and unscheduled downtime. Areas prone to calcium carbonate scale include:

  • Chip chute screen
  • Extraction screens
  • Cooking heaters
  • In-line drainer
  • Cooking screens
  • Digester shell
  • Top separator

Benefits

In Pulp Mill applications, Belclene 287 offers:

  • Exceptional control of calcium carbonate and oxalate deposition.
  • Reduced frequency of plant shutdowns for scale removal and system cleaning.
  • Improved liquor circulation rates for better pulp cooking uniformity.
  • Enhanced maintenance of extraction flows.
  • Prolonged heater life and reduced corrosion by minimizing acid cleanings.
  • Better plug flow through the digester.

Usage

Consult with your BWA Water Additives representative for optimal dosage recommendations.
