  • Water Cycle with Zero Discharge at Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill New South Wales - Australia
    WATER CYCLE WITH ZERO DISCHARGE AT TUMUT PULP AND PAPER MILL NEW SOUTH WALES - AUSTRALIA OTTO SZOLOSI, Senior Projects Engineer - Water/Waste Water/Irrigation, [email protected] VISY PAPER PROJECTS, Building D, 13 Reo Crescent, Campbellfield, Victoria, 3061 Australia Abstract The Tumut Visy Pulp and Paper Mill is one of the cleanest mills in the world, reflecting Visy Industries’ commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Visy Industries have developed a new Pulp and Paper Mill in Tumut, NSW – Australia, which showcased innovative environmental and sustainable energy technologies, including the biggest continuous biomass energy facility in Australia. Construction of the mill began in 1999 and was complete it by 2001. Total investment in the project was AUD$435 million. The Tumut Mill used extensive industry experience and many well-known companies in the paper industry to engineer an advanced mill concept with zero levels of effluent leaving the site. Careful project planning included steps to minimise raw water intake, maximise reuse opportunities and reduce effluent. The Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill produces 300,000 tonnes of unbleached kraft pulp and paper board per year, from around 800,000 tones of pine plantation pulp logs and forest waste plus recycled paper, cardboard and sawmill residues, using advanced cleaner production technology and achieving significant reuse. Per tonne of pulp, it is one of the most resource efficient and pollution free operations in the world. Its raw water consumption (4.61 m3/tonne of paper) and effluent discharge (1.53 m3/tonne of paper) are believed to be the lowest in the world. Treated effluent is irrigated on a 110 ha farm, around the Mill producing fodder for cattle.
