Kraft wood pulping is the predominant process used in the pulp and paper industry for its versatility and insensitivity to variations of wood supply. In this work, a deterministic model has been developed for a Kraft Pulping Process of Eucalyptus by combining intrinsic kinetic equations (Lignin, Carbohydrates) and it is used to investigate the effects of process conditions on the extent of deli...

This paper describes results of FTM–West model solutions for a set of hypothetical future fuel treatment scenarios, which include stand-density-index (SDI) and thin-from-below (TFB) treatment regimes at alternative levels of harvest administrative fees or subsidies. The paper briefly describes estimates of harvestable wood (upper bounds) and acreage treatable under the different thinning regime...
