A great deal of water is required when manufacturing paper. This water is required, on the one hand, to prepare the cellulose and, on the other hand, for cooling the large machines. The water quality is very important as regards the quality of the paper. Thus, for instance, the surface tension of the water is one of the factors responsible for the homogeneous distribution of the paper fibers in the paper. The more uniformly the fibers are distributed, the higher will be the quality of the end product.
Merus has achieved great success in such cases. By reducing the surface tension, it is possible to appreciably enhance the homogeneity of the paper. One welcome side-effect owing to the action of Merus on scale is that far less dirt adheres to the machine, thus greatly reducing maintenance effort.
