PULP & PAPER

Reduced fouling and improved separation in the pulp and paper industry

Enhanced tall oil separation and chemical-free fouling removal and prevention to reach Zero Process Downtime

THE PROBLEM – FOULING AND SCALING CAUSE DOWNTIME AND PROCESS INEFFICIENCY

 

The pulp and paper industry is a broad and diverse one that uses a variety of complex processes to produce pulp, paper, biomaterials, and packaging materials/solutions from raw materials.

Unfortunately, fouling and scaling of equipment is a major cause of both process downtime and quality defects in end-products at pulp and paper mills. Traditionally, fouling has been cleaned up by using toxic chemicals and manual mechanical washing procedures. These require production interruptions, causing both production losses and increases in labor, water and chemical consumption.

The production losses caused by shutdowns can cost pulp and paper mills tens of thousands of dollars per hour, or more.

BENEFITS OF USING ALTUM’S SOFTWARE-GUIDED ZPD ULTRASOUND:

 

  • Big gains in your process and manufacturing uptime by removing and preventing fouling when the process is up and running in, for example, black liquor evaporators, valves, and pipelines.
  • Production and financial gains as you can produce more with less energy.
  • Significantly reduce costs related to constant maintenance breaks.
  • Reduce environmental impact of the operations by using less chemicals and water, while running the processes on more consistent, stable levels = Lower CO2 emissions
  • Increased tall oil yield with improved separation.
  • Overall streamlined operations with less headaches.
