A plant’s energy performance depends on the integrated management of its utilities, including boilers, the steam system, and power cogeneration. These interconnected systems are subject to variations in load, energy demand, and fuel quality, directly impacting process stability, safety, operating costs, and the mill’s carbon footprint.

Enero Solutions’ Advanced Process Control (APC) solutions optimize overall energy management by:

  • Stabilizing combustion and thermal loads
  • Improving overall utility energy efficiency
  • Reducing fuel consumption, including bark, fuel oil, and biomass
  • Dynamically coordinating the steam system and power cogeneration
  • Maximizing turbine power generation while meeting contractual constraints

Our solutions improve operating reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and provide greater operational flexibility, even under changing conditions. By integrating utility operations, steam and power generation can be adjusted in real time to match demand and maintain optimal energy performance.

Our APC approach becomes a strategic lever for achieving performance, decarbonization, and sustainable profitability objectives.


Effluent Treatment

pH control is a critical aspect of effluent treatment, helping ensure environmental compliance and stable mill operations. The inherent delays associated with acid or caustic addition, combined with the nonlinear relationship between pH, chemistry, and effluent flow, make manual control challenging and can impact overall treatment performance.

Enero’s APC solutions, integrated directly into your DCS, help:

  • Stabilize pH and improve treatment stability
  • Optimize chemical usage
  • Improve operating reliability and efficiency

This approach turns pH control into a robust, efficient process that consistently meets regulatory requirements.
