JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe Japan Paper Association (JPA) has been actively working to save energy since 1997 when it established its “Voluntary Action Plan on Environmental Issues”. JPA declared its policy of restraining CO2 emissions as one of the actions : By 2010, reduce the unit of fossil energy for paper products by 10% from that of 1990 level. Since 1998, JPA has been following through on the actual results of the unit of energy in the year, and has been publishing its results compared with that in 1990 every year. The following are the results for 2002 and the report of energy situation in pulp and paper industry in Japan :
Unit of fossil energy in 2002 was smoothly reduced by 6.6% from the level in 1990. However, the reduction in a unit of CO2 emissions remained 2.3% because cost competitive coals have been largely used.
Paper and paperboard production increased by 9.8% in fiscal 2002 compared to that of 1990 level, whereas, increase in CO2 emissions remained at 7.3% from the 1990 level. A breakdown of the 2.5% reduction from 9.8% to 7.3% shows that the pulp and paper industry decreased by 2.2% and electric companies contribute to reducing the remaining 0.3% (from effective generating and transmission electricity) .
According to22companies that replied to our questionnaires, a total of 14.8 billion yen was invested in energy saving measures for fiscal 2002 and the crude oil equivalent of energy saved reached 290 thousand kiloliters per year. As far as the estimation from 20 companies, 44.5 billion yen will be invested and 254 thousand kiloliters per year will be saved from 2002 onwards.View full abstractDownload PDF (559K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIncreasing the social demands to saving natural resources and the environmental protection, the production of the recycled paper has grown every year. The new plant of recycled pulp operated at Fuji Mill in 2000, and it has corresponded to the demand of recycled paper. While the production of products with a high use ratio of recycled pulp are increasing, the production of products with virgin pulp tend to decrease at 7.8 M⁄C which manufacture colored paper, printing paper and base paper of coated paper. Therefore the quantity of bleached softwood, hardwood kraft pulp used for the paper machines is decreasing. The capacity of the refiner and the pump for bleached softwood kraft pulp in stock preparation becomes excessive for the manufacturing condition with a little amount of virgin pulp use. And it is in a situation that can’t be efficient power use. According to the situation of the pulp flowing quantity and freeness target, we make a study of using the small type of refiner for saving the energy.View full abstractDownload PDF (286K) -
-Steam Saving by Raising The Temperature of Pulp Slurry Using Hot Water and Recycling White Water from Paper Making Process-Susumu Chiba2004 Volume 58 Issue 5 Pages 624-630

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe have taken measures to reduce the energy consumption as one of the environmental improvement plan based on ISO 14001 standard in the Hachinohe mill of the Mitsubishi Paper Mills, Ltd. Company since 2001. And the target of the plan is to reduce the ratio of steam and electricity consumption to the paper production in the mill at the rate of 1% every year.
Therefore we studied the actual conditions of processes in the mill and made a plan to save fresh water from the view point that cutting the heat loss by saving the warm waste water sewage could lead to the saving of steam consumption. Based on the plan, some measures have been carried out since 2002.
In this paper we describe the way to make the best use of hot water from a surface condenser in a black liquor evaporation plant and the way to reduce the size of a sand filter plant used for white water recovery from paper making process.View full abstractDownload PDF (278K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEnergy-saving is a priority matter in paper and board manufacturing process, which consumes a lot of energy. Nippon Daishowa Paperboard Yoshinaga Co. Ltd. aiming “Full Recycling mill” is focusing on it anytime and anywhere in the mill.
By replacement the burners of GAS IR system to the energy-saving type on #51 which produces on-machine coated board, we successfully achieved the saving of energy. After the burners replacement, the drying capacity increased by improving thermal transmission efficiency which can expect us the saving of gas consumption. However, it was not so easy to determine the optimum gas output under the actual machine operation. This paper shows how we obtained the actual energy saving.View full abstractDownload PDF (325K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSNo. 4 boiler (CFB ; Circulating Fluidized Bed type) at our plant started operations in 1995 after our mill’s fuel conversion program by taking the place of No. 3 boiler (heavy oil fired boiler) .
The maximum steam generation of No. 4 boiler was 120 t⁄h and it has been in operation with steam generation between 95 t⁄h to 120 t⁄h when all four paper machines were in operation. The operation of one large paper machine was reduced from 2002 and the operation of the machine stopped in January 2003 completely. The required steam generation now ranges between 75 t⁄h and 96 t⁄h.
Since the low-load operation of No. 4 boiler causes a blockage in the combustion-air blowing nozzle at the bottom, the minimum operation load has been kept at 75 t⁄h. However, after the suspension of the large paper machine operation, power consumption at our mill when other machines are stopped for service and maintenance purposes has gone down. At a boiler load level of 75 t⁄h, power generation exceeds power consumption to result in a back feed to the power supply utility company. As a result, turbine bypass operation (blow off steam through turbine bypass valve) has become necessary.
In order to lower blow off steam by the turbine bypass operation, boiler operation needs to be further lowered and grid nozzle modification was seriously considered. Grid nozzle type was changed from “pig tail” to “arrow head” to prevent bed material from entering the nozzle hole, so that nozzle blockage would not happen in low-load operation.
Thanks to the grid nozzle modification, the present minimum load is as low as 62 t⁄h and the rate of nozzle clogging by calculation stands at 23%, which means there is no problem. The boiler has been in operation without turbine bypass operation. The reduction in blow off steam amount to the air as a result of low-load operation for the boiler currently amounts to about 600 t⁄month.View full abstractDownload PDF (297K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPower plant at Nippon Paper Iwakuni mill has six boilers : one bark boiler, two oil boilers and three recovery boilers (two of them are standbys) , and nine turbine-generators (three of them are standbys) . All electricity required for the mill operation can be generated from the power plant. Iwakuni mill has been modifying the operation, promoting reuse of exhaust heats, replacing some old equipment with higher efficiency ones and constructing new high efficiency plants as well in order to increase energy efficiency at the power plant.Energy saving is one of the very important issues these days for mill operations, however at the same time effective solutions to achieve valid energy saving cannot be easily recognized. Therefore the mill now is challenging to reduce energy consumption with new activity, such as introducing responsibility share on each sections for the target.
This describes the result of the construction of Magna Drive, which started operation in Oct. 2003 and the plan for heat recovery of an oil boiler with S-CON, which is scheduled in 2004, as considerable solutions of energy saving.View full abstractDownload PDF (368K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWhile no one predicts the future of the Japanese economy, each company is striving for cost reduction in order to survive. On the other hand, pulp and paper companies are tackling to energy-saving as the most important theme from the viewpoint of cost reduction and global environmental problem. At Chuetsu-Nomachi Mill, we have been proceeding to energy-saving in each process, then both the amount of generating steam and using power have increased due to the operation of No. 1 coater machine (April, 1998) and DIP facilities (October, 1999). After we tackled to energy-saving in order to lower the load of the mill, as a result, we were able to attain the heat recovery by passing the circulation water (about 70°C) of the Desox equipment of No. 4 boiler through the pre-heater of1st FDF and 2nd FDF, and also we were able to raise the temperature of the deionized water by change of the extraction of the raw water going into the deionized water equipment. The example of application is introduced, as follows.View full abstractDownload PDF (210K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe literal German translation for approach flow system is Constant Part. It suggest that all process variations in this area directly upstream from the headbox have to be reduced a minimum in order to produce high quality paper.
Pressure, flow and consistency variations can be reduced or eliminated by applying state-of-art process technology. Much of this is well known, proven technology. However, recent developments with new measuring instruments now permit the control of chemical behavior of the stock suspension of in the approach flow system.
By combining retention with these new online measured parameters, and ensure both high quality and consistency of the finished paper.
Total retention, filler retention, charge or gas content should be controlled depending upon the furnish composition of the grades that are produced.
It will be shown in this paper how this can be integrated into the overall control architecture of Quality Control Management of the paper machine.
Various practical experiences outline the high potential of these new control strategies.View full abstractDownload PDF (789K) -
