The pulp and paper (P&P) industry in industrially mature countries is facing a long-term crisis. Large and modern manufacturing facilities in tropical regions emerge as new competitors. The constant increase of energy costs has also contributed to the fina ...
The influence of firms on the elaboration of climate policy in a democratic system is quite controversial. Firms do not form a solid bloc of opponents to environmental regulation. Some firms even expect to gain from such regulation, either because they off ...
Reducing energy consumption in the pulp and paper industry can lead to considerable cost savings. The three main points to consider when implementing an energy efficiency program in a mill are the reduction of the energy requirement, the energy recovery an ...
A recently published paper [D. Jiang, K. Thomson, J.D. Kuntz, J.W. Ager, A.K. Mukherjee, Scripta Mater. 56 (2007) 959] presents a discussion regarding the controversy surrounding toughening in alumina/single-wall carbon nanotubes composites, with specific ...
Résumé: La méthode de la double représentation est appliquée à l’analyse énergétique du département des évaporateurs dans une usine de pâtes kraft. La demande en énergie est représentée sous deux perspectives, thermodynamique et technologique, qui permette ...
An equation solver data reconciliation software has been used to build a validated model of a waste paper deinking mill, by combining control room measurements and process design specifications. An optimal sampling protocol to validate the model by using o ...
The potential of pulp fiberreinforced thermoplastics is currently not fully explored in composites. One of the main reasons is that pulp fibers are extracted for the use in papermaking and are thus not optimized for use as reinforcements in thermoplastics ...
A method for the analysis of process energy requirements has been used to identify in an early design stage the potential process retrofit measures in an integrated pulp and paper mill. The minimum energy requirements (MER) of the process were computed by ...
A new procedure for benchmarking analysis has been developed to evaluate the energy efficiency of a chemical process. Benchmarking is performed to identify process inefficiencies before developing energy enhancement measures. The new procedure combines typ ...
Creating a consistent thermodynamic database is the first step required to perform a process integration study. A method based on the use of data identification and reconciliation has been developed to model the mass and the energy balances of a pulp and p ...
