Essity Site Visit in Hondouville, France

30 April, 2025

On April 2nd, our CORNERSTONE team visited the Hondouville site of the project partner Essity in France. Essity is key partner in the Pulp and Paper industry. 
This site visit provided an opportunity to explore real-world industrial processes and further align our efforts on enhancing water recovery and minimizing freshwater consumption through innovative membrane-based technologies. It was a great day of collaboration between academia and industry, featuring guided tours, in-depth discussions, and warm hospitality from our Essity parters. From safety briefings to standing by the impressive Yankee dryer, every detail added to the learning experience!

At Essity - Pulp and Paper industry, our work focuses on the integration of:

• Module 1- Non-clogging heat exchangers.
• Module 3- Hollow fiber nanofiltration (HF-NF).
• Module 5- Bipolar Electrodialysis (BMED).
• Module 6- Membrane Crystallization (MCr).

A big thank you to Essity for the warm welcome and support, and to all our CORNERSTONE partners for their continued commitment to sustainable innovation in industrial water management.
