    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.

It reveals a complex and poignant story examining the public and private lives of the Chinese Australian migrant experience. Through this exhibition and education kit students will discover a variety of aspects of the Chinese Australian migrant experience including work, leisure, family life, religion and race relations. In doing so students will develop an appreciation for both the challenges overcome and accomplishments achieved by Chinese Australians in our region in the late 19th century. Exploring key themes of endurance, resourcefulness and reinvention many of which remain relevant to the Australian migrants experience today. This exhibition and supporting primary education kit addresses learning outcomes from a variety of stage 2 & 3 key learning areas including Chinese, Creative Arts, English, HSIE and Mathematics. This exhibition and education kit may be of particular value to ESL students as they may readily connect with the themes and ideas explored and relate these to their own life experiences. Give your students the chance to embark on a learning journey through this significant part of our region’s history, which up until now has remained largely untold.
