Description

Kagoshima Pref., where the Sendai Mill is located, has the largest bamboo forests area of 16,000ha in Japan, and typical species named Moso bamboo covers an area of 7,600ha.<BR>Since well controlled bamboo forests produce a good quality of bamboo shoot, bamboo older than five years need to be trimmed every year in order to maintain the forest quality. However most of the trimmed bamboo has been left in the forest usually, it has been an issue how to utilize such abandoned bamboo.<BR>Sendai mill has been utilizing such trimmed local bamboo since 1999 as raw material for paper production, in order to protect local forest environment and to contribute prevention of global warming. We upgraded the batch digester system pulp line for small lot production into ECF pulp production plant, and this upgraded line has started production in 2010 and the trimmed bamboo is utilized more effectively. We introduce our experiences on the bamboo pulp production.
