Our customer-focused Pulp and paper manufacturers rely upon their utility operations to Leading Recycle Paper Mill culture combined with comprehensive provide steam and cooling water to support production. Veolia’s capabilities make Veolia the preferred partner equipment and chemical technologies effectively produce the type TECHNOLOGY: Biothane® EGSB (Expanded Granular Sludge Bed) of water your utilities need to ensure reliable steam quality, heat for all water, wastewater, evaporation, and exchange efficiency and environmental compliance. A recycle paper mill was needing to upgrade their wastewater crystallization projects. treatment facility to improve COD removal and Calcium removal as pretreatment before ZLD (Zero Liquid Discharge). Additionally, Wastewater the facility needed to have reliable wastewater treatment to Veolia is experienced in helping clients reduce their financial ensure regulatory compliance. exposure and comply with discharge requirements and stringent Veolia installed two (2) Biothane EGSB (450 m3 each) to replace CASE STUDY environmental regulations. their existing anaerobic system. The facility was designed to treat up to 1,320 m3/day with loading rates up to 12,700 kg COD/ Irving Paper day. As a result, the system was able to remove 80% of the COD Water Footprint Reduction and with its calcium removal step, it was able to prevent scaling TECHNOLOGY: Actiflo® To reduce a facility's water footprint, Veolia offers a wide-variety in the downstream ZLD process. LOCATION: New Brunswick (Canada) of water reuse technologies. From debarking wash water to Irving Paper was looking to reduce water usage by 6,000 m3/day in summer and 8,000 m3/day in winter wastewater reuse, Veolia helps companies optimize the use of by cleaning and reusing certain process water streams. The mill's goals were to reduce raw water water in their facility. demand, improve process water quality, recover thermal energy and reduce wastewater flow. Veolia installed two Actiflo® package plants to treat wastewater from the vacuum pump seal. Wastewater from the mill's vacuum pump seal flows to the Actiflo® units and is blended with raw river water. The Mobile Water Treatment technology is able to remove 99.9% turbidity for the two water streams. As an additional benefit, this Veolia Water Technologies provides mobile water and wastewater 2 process helped the mill decrease energy costs by allowing the warmer reuse water to increase the treatment solutions to cover emergency, temporary or long-term 3 temperature of influent water fom the river, prior to use in the mill. water treatment needs. Veolia’s more than 350 patented technologies provide innovative solutions to help the Comprehensive Technology Portfolio Pulp & Paper Industry succeed in meeting strict regulatory requirements and VEOLIA'S INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT OFFERING INCLUDE: optimize water treatment and resource recovery throughout the facility.
