ABSTRACT Recycle paper mills (RPM) contribute 30% of total pulp and paper mill segment in India. With 85% average efficiency of RPM, 5% waste (RPMW) is produced annually. RPMW which [...]

Propapier's first paper mill in Burg was able to increase their output by 90,000 tonne/yr in a span of four years and was able to significantly cut down paper breaks per month thanks to modifications such as the installation of a Lobemix system and installation of a HiRun 2000. Propapier is planning a second mill in Eisenhuttenstadt, Germany starting in late 2009.

The conversion of wastes from the paper mills of FoxFire into fuel for the cement industry is described. The plans of FoxFire to acquire a share of the European energy market are discussed.

There have been major developments in the process of paper making over the years and simultaneously use of water and waste treatments have followed suit. With increasing environmental awareness and effects of the mill waste on the environment becoming an issue of prime concern, effluent treatment plants have undergone changes to meet environmental management system ISO 14001 directives.

Paper mill wastewater treatment facilities are installing the latest technology: fine bubble aeration systems. Equipment options include dome, plate, disc and tube diffusers of various materials. This new technology can save energy but is not always appropriate. Wastewater characteristics and facility measurements need to be carefully evaluated before changes are made., MANY WASTEWATER treatment facilities at paper mills and other industrial plants have installed fine bubble aeration systems or have modernized from old, inefficient aeration to this new technology Several fine [...]

Paper and pulp mills can solve their waste management problems by taking into account physical characteristics of waste materials when building landfills. The mills need to evaluate the waste's subsurface hydrologic and geotechnical conditions, consider specialized construction techniques for unstable surfaces, and use wastes as construction materials when building solid waste landfills. An impermeable cap built over landfills can prevent migration of waste materials and diminish pollution hazards., LARGE EARTHEN IMPOUNDMENTS, ASH ponds, and landfills are common at most pulp and paper mills. As production levels and regulatory requirements have changed, many mills have encountered difficulties with these [...]

There are many ways to modify a paper mill to reduce the use of chlorine or recover it during the papermaking process. The kraft papermaking process is broken down into steps, and each step is considered in reducing or recovering beach. For example, bleach can be reduced by increasing the capacity of the evaporator during the phase in which black liquor is evaporated. Five techniques for increasing this capacity are described. Methods for reducing chlorine bleach during each of the papermaking steps are offered., WHEN EVALUATING POTENTIAL PULP AND paper mill modifications to reduce chlorine use and/or recover organic residues from pulping and bleaching, process engineers must consider the impact of such changes on [...]

The pulp and paper industry is seriously trying to close up effluent streams as a way of protecting the environment. Many pulp and paper mills have successfully tried methods to reduce water consumption. The most promising technologies available include oxygen delignification, advanced washing and total chlorine-free and elemental chlorine-free operations. The most promising technologies for chemical recovery are concentration-evaporation systems for black liquor and bleaching filtrates and modifications of recovery operations., Pulp and paper mills have moved closer to effluent closure in recent years, and technology now exists to make the final environmental leap DURING THE PAST DECADE, THE PULP AND [...]

Champion International Corp has developed a technology that can recycle bleach plant effluent. The bleach filtrate recycling technology, which is used in conjunction with the company's OD100 chlorine reduction program, is named BFR. Champion International's technology removes salt produced from the bleaching process, metals and wood impurities. A description of the technology is included., CHAMPION INTERNATIONAL CORP.'S COMMITment to oxygen delignification and the substitution of 100% chlorine dioxide for chlorine began in 1986, when it established the basis for its trademarked OD100 program. Since [...]

Pulp and paper mills have historically relied on landfills for disposal of sludge, but many alternatives are being developed that hold considerable economic and environmental advantage. These include predrying, pelletizing and destructive distillation of mill sludge. Landfills are facing increasingly stringent requirements for their design and construction, requirements that add significantly to the cost of landfill disposal., AS PULPING OPERATIONS BECOME MORE FOCUSed on source reduction of environmental contaminants and the possibility of effluent closure, more options are becoming available for paper mill sludge disposal. But despite [...]

Montville, CT, and Rand-Whitney Group Inc. (Rand-Whitney) have established a closed-loop wastewater treatment facility that will process all the water from Rand-Whitney's paper mill. The $5.5 million facility is capable of processing 4.5 million-gallons of wastewater daily. After treating Rand-Whitney's wastewater, the facility will pump the processed water to the paper mill for reuse.
