Pulping/Fiber

In a strategic move, Sustana acquired fiber drying equipment for its De Pere, WI, facility for a capex project that optimized its product, its process, and its future.

When it comes to supply chain management, being the local leader has advantages and challenges. Woodland Pulp managed to navigate both over the past few turbulent years.

Process by-products are becoming more mainstream for pulp producers.

Sappi Saiccor’s chemical pulp is produced using a unique cellulose chemistry technology from sustainably grown eucalyptus. Sustainable production processes are maintained by production facilities, many of which are operated with bioenergy from steam and waste streams.

Until recently, non-recyclable material has been sent to third-party waste management companies for incineration. Such processes are inefficient, costly, and create a significant carbon footprint. The Oguma Pelletizer is the ideal, simple, and practical solution to a mill’s waste recycling needs.

Chemical suppliers report on their latest innovations to help mills improve their products, increase their sustainability profile, and get the most from vendor relationships.

The second WCBEF—‘Implementing Biostrategies: Forests Mitigating Climate Change’—was well attended by stakeholders from around the globe ready to address this critical challenge.

Challenge #1: Reduce water waste by improving paper stock processing. Challenge #2: Increase pump reliability at the same time.

With assistance from the Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) and the Government of Alberta, Slave Lake Pulp embarked on a Biomethanation and Power Generation Project that would anaerobically digest pulp mill effluent to generate biogas to be used as green energy.

Digital Twins are instrumental in real-time operations as a proactive decision-making tool for the evaporation process.
