PAPER MACHINE ENERGY CONSERVATION

• The paper mill area is a major energy consumer in most pulp and paper mills. Efforts to reduce energy consumption can reduce operating costs and increase profitability.
• This TIP discusses guidelines for monitoring, benchmarking, and optimizing energy-intensive unit operations to reduce paper machine energy consumption.
• The Pumping System Assessment Tool (PSAT) can be used to quantify the energy consumption and cost savings potential from a pump. The assessment requires flow rate, pressure, and motor current or power data.
• TAPPI TIP 0404-52, “Press section optimization” ( 5 ) provides guidelines for evaluating and improving press section performance.
