Managing water circuits under high process loads
The pulp and paper industry uses complex, heavily contaminated water circuits. High volume flows, high temperatures, and fluctuating water quality stand out as key issues here. On top of that, regulatory requirements place additional demands on stability and efficiency. At the same time, there is increasing pressure to reduce water consumption, energy use, and emissions. Water has various functions in the pulp and paper industry, being used for process control as well as in cooling and heat exchanger systems and internal circuits. Fibrous material and heavy deposits, which can sometimes cause caking, impair the throughflow, heat transfer, and process continuity. The result is performance losses, increased maintenance work, and limited plant availability. This is precisely where our solutions come in. They stabilize water-carrying systems, reduce the effects of fouling, and support efficient, controlled operation – even under unrelentingly high process loads. The specific requirements in the individual process stages highlight which applications are particularly relevant in the pulp and paper industry.
