Manufacture paper without water and produce cellulose almost without power
Manufacture paper without using water, delete the broadcasts associated to his manufacture or produce cellulose to low temperatures with a minimum of power are some of the rompedores technological concepts that is developing the project paneuropeo TWO Team of the European Confederation of Industries of the Paper (Cepi), in which it participates
Manufacturing the paper.
Learning of the plants
The sector papelero European works in a new technological concept that will allow him manufacture cellulose with a minimum of power, broadcasts and waste, learning of the behaviour of the plants. When the plants do not have water, by cause of droughts or freezing, are able to produce his own liquids. A plant, from the mix of two solids, can obtain liquid to temperature acclimatise. This liquid calls GIVE (Dissolvent Eutectic Deep).
With these new dissolvent bio-renewable, produced by the plants, can dissolve the wood separating the fibres of cellulose of the lignin (the glue that joins them) to temperature acclimatise without additional power. This technology can apply equally to the paper to recycle, using these dissolvent natural to dissolve the waste of ink of the paper used and separate them of the fibres of cellulose.

Imitating to the penguins to manufacture paper without water
Another of the new technological concepts that at present develops the sector bases in the observation of the penguins. When the penguins escape of his predatory do not swim in the water, in reality, but in the air. They free small bubbles of air of his feathers and forms a fine film to his around, what allows him reduce the friction and advance faster.
This concept, that calls super-cavitación and that has been used by the Russians for his torpedos, for example, can apply to the industry papelera to manufacture paper without using water. The fibres are treated to protect them and afterwards suspended in a viscous solution with a concentration of more than 40%. The solution presses and from the resultant leaf obtains the final product required.

Two equipment of technicians and scientists
The project Two Team set up a competition between two European equipment, formed by a total of 34 technicians and scientists of the highest level, pertinent of the own companies of the sector, of the companies providers, of universities, technology centres… A year of work, along 2013, to give an unprecedented technological jump, that leaves on the table eight technological concepts rompedores, that now will be able to develop the companies. The eight technologies selected combine new ideas and ideas that already work in other fields, but never have used in the sector papelero.
The hour of the companies: already there are seven consortiums under way
Cepi –The patronal papelera European- has the rights of the results of the project and yields them to his associated (between them the patronal papelera Spanish Aspapel) and these to his companies associated. It has initiated already the constitution of 7 consortiums for the development of these technologies:
- Dissolvent eutectic deep.
- Manufacture of paper without water.
- CO2 supercrítico.
- 100% electricity.
- Functional surface.
- Condensation Flash with steam.
- The box of tools replicante.
