About FITNIR

In the early 1990s, a partnership was formed between Kvaerner Chemetics and Paprican (Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada, now FPInnovations) to develop a unique pulp liquor analyzer. Kvaerner and Paprican jointly obtained US and International patents for this new technology, with inventors including Michael Kester, Thanh Trung, and Denys LeClerc. Thanh and his team developed novel online analyzer based on FT-NIR spectroscopy that provides key measurements for process optimization and ultimately for cost savings.
