  • Catalyst Paper Generates Outstanding Savings and Improves Product Quality with Honeywell’S Advanced Control Solution
    Catalyst Paper Generates Outstanding Savings and Improves Product Quality with Honeywell’s Advanced Control Solution “Investing in a state-of-the-art advanced control solution from Honeywell has permitted Catalyst Paper to gain increased control over our operating systems while saving millions of dollars each year in raw materials and energy. And we have been able to accomplish all this without sacrificing the high quality of the various products we produce.” Dwight Anderson, Senior Process Control System Specialist, Catalyst Paper Benefits Catalyst Paper sought to find ways for its thermo-mechanical pulp (TMP) process to reduce dependence on kraft consumption and improve process efficiency at its Canadian Elk Falls facility. In order to maintain the company’s high quality expectations, Catalyst wanted to find new, leading-edge ways to reduce kraft consumption, because of its expense, without sacrificing any of the mill’s end-product standards. To achieve cost savings without sacrificing product quality, The Elk Falls Division is located on the Pacific coast of British Columbia, Catalyst Paper called upon Honeywell to partner with them in Canada, near the city of Campbell River on Vancouver Island developing an advanced control solution to improve their pulp quality. Background Some of the benefits realized by Catalyst Paper after the Catalyst Paper Corp., as it has been known since 2005, was implementation of Profit Controller include: formed from the amalgamation of several predecessor companies and acquisitions—including British Columbia Forest • Improved pulp quality by decreasing pulp freeness variability Products, Fletcher Challenge Canada, Norske Skog and by 41% and pulp mean fiber length variability by 21%, Newstech Recycling—each with its own rich history.

The paper mill three and a half miles from this place was totally consumed by fire on Wednesday morning last, together with all the paper and stock on hand. The origin of the fire, we believe, is considered doubtful. It may have been accidental, or it may have been the work of an incendiary. The loss is estimated at $16,000. There was no insurance.

  • Optimisation of the Norske Skog Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plant at Boyer: the Role of Trace Metals and Vitamins
    Optimisation of the Norske Skog activated sludge wastewater treatment plant at Boyer: The role of trace metals and vitamins Jason Barnett BEnvSc (Honours) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Chemistry University of Tasmania June 2013 Declaration I declare this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution, except by way of back ground information and duly referenced in the thesis. To the best of the candidate’s knowledge and belief, no material previously published or written by another person is included in the text of the thesis except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. 30th June 2013 Jason Barnett Date ii | P a g e Abstract In January 2008 Norske Skog, Boyer (NSB) , Tasmania, commissioned an activated sludge (AS) wastewater treatment plant to lower the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) in the treated effluent discharged from the mill. In October 2009 the company also changed the feed stock of the mill from a mixed Pinus radiata and Eucalypt to solely P. radiata, altering the pulping process. The cold caustic soda (CCS) plant was decommissioned and replaced with an additional thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) plant. Trace metals in the mill wastewater samples were analysed before and after this transition to detect any differences due to the changed feedstock and operating conditions, and to determine if metal levels were sufficient for optimum operation of the AS wastewater treatment plant.

  • 4.3 Optical Properties
    Summary Mechanical pulping is a process for production of wood pulp in papermaking. Thermomechanical Pulp (TMP) and Groundwood (GW) are historically the two production methods used for mechanical pulping. Because of high electrical prices and increasing requirements in pulp quality it is of interest to improve the mechanical pulping process. The Advanced Thermomechanical Pulp (ATMP) process is a development of the TMP process developed to reduce the electrical energy consumption in production of mechanical pulp. ATMP also has better strength properties and optical properties compared to TMP. Andritz, Paper and Fibre Research Institute (PFI) and Norske Skog together have developed this production method throughout several pilot plant trials with excellent results. Mechanical pre-treatment of wood chips with a screw press and chemical addition in a high intensity primary refining stage are the features of the ATMP process. This process has recently been described (Hill et al. 2009, Hill et al. 2010, Gorski et al. 2011 and Johansson et al. 2011). Improvements in the electrical energy efficiency in refining of up to 0,65 MWh/odt or 34 % as well as higher brightness and lower shive contents compared to reference TMP pulp were shown for spruce raw material (Gorski et al. 2011) To further understand what happens with the pulp in ATMP process compared to the TMP process different investigations were carried out. Methylene blue sorption were evaluated and used to measure the total amount of anionic groups on both ATMP and TMP produced pulps. ATMP produced pulps achieved a higher number of acidic groups compared to pulps without addition of chemicals for not only the whole pulp but also for three different fractions of each pulp.
