Challenges Facing the Pulp and Paper Industry

• Rising energy and fiber costs
• High transportation costs
• Falling demand in developed nations for pulp and paper products
• Increased competition from emerging economies with lower labor and fiber costs

Enero Performance Projects for the pulp and paper industry deliver rapid and measurable results by:

• Increasing the amount of biomass utilized by the powerhouse
• Reducing energy costs of mills through model-based control of steam plants using Enero’s patented technology:  QuickSteam Boiler
• Improving steam demand coordination between the paper machine process and the powerhouse
• Reducing or eliminating boiler trips or steam venting during large load disturbances
• Enhancing the agility of the papermaking operation and improving paper machine efficiency: Faster grade changes, reduction in breaks, improvements in quality
• Benchmarking the paper machine basis weight MD variability to best-in-class mills
