- Abstract
- Enzyme based technologies in the P & P industry have reached industrial maturity and some initial applications have started in some Austrian P&P companies with varying success. In trying to overcome the gap between the P&P industry and technology developers (enzyme suppliers), this study brings together experts in enzyme technology and the P & P industries to develop tools/protocols or basic procedures that will enable the P & P industry to fully and effectively use these enzyme based technologies in the future. In detail, it is planed to develop test methods that can be used to predict the performance of enzymes in particular process steps like deinking or refining and that can be used for quality control protocols.
