Pulp & Paper

The pulp and paper industry uses large volumes of water and additionally is facing a significant challenge in the treatment and disposal of paper sludge. Many paper companies are targeting the “zero waste off site” option and VWIO is able to help by recovery of energy and by-products to derive sustainability.

Technologies used include:

ozone as the primary decolourising and sterilising agent, avoiding persistent chlorine compounds and potential dioxin problems
separation of digestible BOD from cellulose fibres
grey and intermediate recycling of water
membrane technology and ion exchange to produce pure water for high-pressure boiler systems
dewatering and thermal processing of sludge

Operation:

treatment optimisation, economy of chemicals and consumables
asset management, infrastructure management, replacement, refurbishment planning
