1. Anaerobic digestion in the kraft pulp and paper industry : Challenges and possibilities for implementation
Abstract : The pulp and paper industry is a large producer of wastewater and sludge, putting high pressure on waste treatment. In addition, more rigorous environmental legislation for pollution control and demands to increase the use of renewable energy have put further pressure on the pulp and paper industry’s waste treatment, where anaerobic digestion (AD) and the production of methane could pose a solution.

2. Sludge from pulp and paper mills for biogas production : Strategies to improve energy performance in wastewater treatment and sludge management
Abstract : The production of pulp and paper is associated with the generation of large quantities of wastewater that has to be purified to avoid severe pollution of the environment. Wastewater purification in pulp and paper mills combines sedimentation, biological treatment, chemical precipitation, flotation and anaerobic treatment, and the specific combination of techniques is determined by the local conditions.

4. Process Integration in Model Kraft Pulp Mills. Technical, Economic and Environmental Implications
Abstract : The technical and economic conditions for reducing the energy consumption cost-efficiently and thereby releasing a surplus of biomass fuel in the pulp and paper industry are changing. For example, new environmental restrictions increase the need for closed water loops and other system modifications, which can lead to increased opportunities for energy savings. READ MORE

5. Energy Efficient Evaporation in Future Kraft Pulp Mills
Abstract : In the future, the technical and economic conditions for energy savings in the pulp and paper industry will change. More excess heat will be available in future mills above 80°C than in existing mills, increasing the potential for process integration, and governmental actions for reducing CO2 emissions and the deregulation of electricity markets will change the economic conditions for investments aimed at saving energy.
