ABOUT THE WEBINAR SERIES ABSTRACT Thermal and electrical energy represents a significant portion of total operating costs for paper and tissue mills. A significant portion of this energy is used to heat air to provide an optimal sheet drying environment, improve Runnability and supply heat the machine room. Developing and executing an effective energy conservation and recovery strategy is essential for remaining competitive in the market and reducing greenhouse emissions. This presentation will cover the following key components of this strategy: Optimization: Poorly designed or poorly operated hoods and hood air systems can directly lead to excess energy consumption. Developing specific solutions to address this can be complex and often requires a comprehensive audit conducted by third party specialists. This presentation will include the methodology for typical audits, provide general best practises, baseline testing, and industry standards. A study of data collected from several recent audits was used to generate a summary of the most common problems along with the requisite actions required to optimize the air systems. These actions were categorized according to ease of implementation and payback/benefit. While some projects require capital expenditures, there are occasionally some important ‘low-hanging fruit/maintenance actions’ that can result in significant improvements. Heat Recovery/Equipment Upgrades: Heat exchangers can be used to recover a significant amount of energy from air exhaust streams in paper and tissue mills. A successful project requires a proper assessment of all available heat sources and heat sinks to determine which are the most economically-viable with regard to payback. Factors to consider include: the amount of sensible heat available, the amount of latent heat available, suitable heat sinks, their proximity to the heat source, the overall project capital cost and the cost of energy. This presentation will help to identify those projects that have the greatest impact and shortest return on investment along with case studies from past projects. |
