  "text": "Technique\nApplicability\na\nHigh consistency pulping for disintegrating paper for recycling into separated fibres\nGenerally applicable for new plants and for existing plants in the case of a major refurbishment\nb\nEfficient coarse and fine screening by optimising rotor design, screens and screen operation, which allows the use of smaller equipment with lower specific energy consumption\nc\nEnergy saving stock preparation concepts extracting impurities as early as possible in the re-pulping process, using fewer and optimised machine components, thus restricting the energy intensive processing of the fibres",
