Process Simulation and Energy Optimization for the Pulp and Paper Mill
نویسندگان
چکیده
A process integration model is developed based on mixed integer linear programming. The analysis is carried out using the reMIND software in combination with the commercial optimization software CPLEX. The steam production (heat recovery boiler, bark boiler and steam turbines) and the process steam consumers (digester, evaporation plant, bleaching plant as well as pulp dry machine and paper making machine) are modeled as separate modules and thereafter linked and are validated using the operation data from a pulp and paper mill in the Northern Sweden. The whole plant is simulated and initial optimization runs are performed in which the cost is to be minimized.

Plantwide Optimization of a Pulp Mill Process
An economic optimization study of a pulp and paper mill is presented. Costs and revenues associated with all unit operations are identified to formulate a suitable objective function. The existing control structure of the pulp mill is analyzed and used to develop an optimization-relevant model through a series of step tests. This model is then used with the objective function and the informatio...
متن کاملEffect of Metal Salt Coagulants on Treatment of Activated Sludge Effluent in Sulfite Mill Pulp and Paper Plant
Pulp and paper effluents are considered as serious environmental hazards and their treatment, because of multiplicity of impurities and complexity of their chemical structures, is one of the most difficult and inconvenient industrial processes. As the most pulp and paper mill work on kraft process, there are few studies in literature on the treatment of neural sulfite semi chemical (NSSC) p...
متن کاملAdsorption of Phenolic Compounds onto the Activated Carbon Synthesized from Pulp and Paper Mill Sludge: Equilibrium Isotherm, Kinetics, Thermodynamics and Mechanism Studies
A new activated carbon was produced from pulp and paper mill sludge as a low cost precursor via chemical activation by zinc chloride. The activated carbon was successfully used for the adsorption of phenol and two of its derivatives, i.e. 2-chlorophenol and 4-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions. The characterization of the prepared activated carbon demonstrated high textural properties for the s...

−− Reducing the use of fresh water can lead to energy savings when this is properly planned and executed. Chemical process simulation has proven to be an effective tool for performing a global analysis of water systems to identify routes for maximizing the process efficiency concerning to water recovery. System closure has been introduces in pulp mills resulting in simultaneous buildup of nonpr...
متن کاملBack-calculation of mechanical parameters of shell and balls materials from discrete element method simulations
Discrete Element Method (DEM) is extensively used for mathematical modeling and simulating the behavior of discrete discs and discrete spheres in two and three dimensional space, respectively. Prediction of particles flow regime, power draw and kinetic energy for a laboratory or an industrial mill is possible by DEM simulation. In this article, a new approach was used to assess the main paramet...
