Patent ID: 11530514

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a fibrous web, such as web of paper, board, tissue or the like is disclosed. The method includes obtaining at least one fibre suspension of lignocellulosic and/or cellulosic fibres and feeding the fibre suspension into an intermediate residence entity. The fibre suspension including bacterial endospores, is discharged out of the intermediate residence entity via an outlet after a residence time of at least 2 hours in the intermediate residence entity and after a time delay the fibre suspension is formed into a fibrous web. Bacterial endospores are sensitized by adding a germinant surfactant including a primary or secondary ammonium head group and a linear unsubstituted C12-alkyl tail, to the fibre suspension at an addition point located at a lower part of the intermediate residence entity or after the outlet of the intermediate residence entity, but before the formation of the fibrous web.
