Thermo-Mechanical Pulping (TMP)
The Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) process requires a constant balance between fiber quality, energy consumption, and production stability. Variations in operating conditions and raw material properties directly affect key parameters such as freeness, specific energy, consistency, and production rate, impacting both final pulp quality and energy costs.
Enero’ Advanced Process Control (APC) solutions optimize the TMP process by:
- Providing advanced freeness control to stabilize pulp quality
- Optimizing specific energy consumption to reduce energy costs
- Stabilizing consistency control loops to ensure uniform production
- Dynamically managing production rate while accounting for electrical power limitations
- Coordinating critical process variables to improve overall process performance
These solutions improve operating stability, reduce energy consumption, and increase production flexibility, even under changing load conditions. Direct integration into the DCS ensures robust implementation and sustained performance.
APC becomes a key lever for maximizing energy performance, pulp quality, and the profitability of the TMP process.
Bleaching
Bleaching is a key step in producing high-quality Thermo-Mecanical pulp. Variations in operating conditions and pulp properties directly affect process stability, chemical consumption, and final pulp quality, making effective bleaching control essential to overall process performance.
Enero’ APC solutions optimize the bleaching process by:
- Stabilizing bleaching sequences and operating conditions
- Optimizing chemical usage
- Providing advanced control of critical parameters affecting pulp quality
- Reducing variability and improving process consistency
- Dynamically adapting to critical production changes to improve overall process performance
These solutions improve process stability, reduce chemical consumption, and increase pulp quality and operating flexibility. Direct integration into the DCS ensures robust implementation and sustained performance.
APC becomes a strategic lever for maximizing process performance, pulp quality, and the profitability of bleaching operations.
