Successful Innovations

A number of products based on research performed at Innventia have been further developed by different companies. You find some exemples below.

Optitopo Using the OptiTopo device is a very fast way to measure topography (within seconds!) that offers the possibility to correlate print quality to the topography. Suitable both for advanced research and for routine quality control.

Magle

Magle, a pharmaceutical company, has developed a new specially prepared paper. Extracting DNA from a stain will facilitate for forensic investigators to make positive identification of alleged criminals. The product called Phadebas consists of a filter paper modified on the surface by using production techniques at Innventia.

LignoBoost
LignoBoost technology involves extracting lignin from black liquor, which is the used cooking liquid in the sulphate pulp production process. The LignoBoost process enables an increase in capacity for pulp mills at a cost lower than extending a "tight" recovery boiler. Profitability is further improved if the lignin can be used as a replacement for fuel oil or natural gas in, for example, pulp mill lime sludge reburning kilns or as a raw material for the production of valuable products such as carbon fibre.

STFI OPTI-Kappa
 

On-line measurement technology for the digesters and bleach plants has been a research field of high activities for Innventia. The lignin content (kappa number) of pulp has been considered an important parameter both for system control and to characterise pulp properties.

STFI FiberMaster The STFI FiberMaster is a powerful tool for studying fibre dimensions and fibre curl and their importance in the papermaking process and resulting paper properties. The equipment is used routinely in Innventia's own research as well as for contract work.
