Drivers and Challenges in Improved Water ManagementPulp & Paper Making Environmental Goals

§Reduce water pollutionØ Reduction of toxic chemicals: solvents,

chlorine compounds, organics etc.

§Reduce fresh water consumption and wastewater amount

§

§Minimize energy consumption§

§Minimize solid waste •

⇒ Maintain cost efficiency

Drivers and Challenges in Improved Water Management

Drivers for decreasing fresh water consumption and for improved water management in P&P industry

§ Fresh water purchase or treatment cost

§ Effluent discharge and treatment cost

§ Existing fresh water treatment capacity is too low

§ Existing effluent treatment capacity is limiting water usage

§ Environmental regulations

§ Environmental / marketing strategy (BAT)

§ Low fresh water consumption, but problems with runnablility

Most likely there are no significant runnability problems, due to the high fresh water consumption!

Drivers and Challenges in Improved Water Management“Pros and Cons“ of Reducing Water Consumption

BenefitsLower operational costs

ETP, WTP and environmental payments

Improved retention of soluble material

Saving in raw materials due to lower losses

Reduced energy consumption Less water heating and

pumping Lower total environmental load

Possible Drawbacksn Higher concentrations of dissolved

and colloidal material, if not further purified

n Increased microbiological activity slime problems and deposits

n Risk of corrosionàRisk of lowering product quality i.e.

(brightness and porosity)à Lowered runnabilityàChallenges with hygienic productsn

Principles and chosen concept

Advanced principles for water management (e.g. BAT)

§ Countercurrent water flow principle

§ Fresh water replacement with treated process water

§ Efficient water and fiber recovery with DAF technology

§ Efficient and integrated effluent treatment which allows effluent recycling to pulp dilution

§

FlooDaf for Tissue Mill Save All

§

Save all with FlooDaf for recollecting lost fibers from the mill wire section and clean & recycle process water

§ Over 95% fiber recovery with DAF§

§ Fibers can be recycled back to pulping to improve overall raw material usage§

§ Fresh water saving since treated water from the DAF is re-used in process as dilution water, in stock prep and in showers

§

FlooDaf for DIP Whitewater Treatment

§ The DlP DAF´s role in water loop cleaning is crucial, especially when paper mill is using waste paper (RCF) as raw material

§

16

§ At Sahagun, DAF is cleaning the DIP second loop white water

§ Whitewater solids, ash and stickies are efficiently removed

§

§ Continuous > 95% TSS removal§

§ Improved overall energy balance by returning water back to the process

§ The selected concept and technologies have shown superior performance §

§ Relative water consumption is now approx. 14 m3/t, way below BAT limit for a DIP tissue mill (25 m3/t )

§

§ The local treated wastewater quality demands have been met§

§ Attention to paper mills water management has given substantial environmental and economical savings

§

§ Environmental future of the pulp &paper industry: à Will go further in the efficiency and quality requirements of water

treatment and lowering the relative water consumption à

à Provides new opportunities in the water treatment development and business
