Which raw materials are suitable for Chempolis process?
We have tested the most common nonwood materials, such as wheat and rice straw, bagasse and different reeds and grasses like reed canary grass, common reed and elephant grass. In addition, many more exotic raw materials such as oil palm biomass residues (EFB and OPF) as well as pineapple biomass have been tested. Birch and chestnut have also been tested successfully. Generally there is no restriction of raw materials as high silica content is not a problem in Chempolis process as it is in alkaline pulping technology.
