Efficiency on paper
Paper production processes require huge amounts of both energy and water. Reducing these quantities is one of the keys to cutting costs, improving profitability, and maintaining a positive environmental profile. Alfa Laval’s solutions for the pulp and paper industry meet these demands including:
- boosting energy recovery
- reducing wastewater treatment costs
- reducing water consumption
- separating and purify by-products cost-efficiently
- improving utilities management
- reducing chemicals costs
All of Alfa Laval’s key technologies and a large number of products are used in the pulp and paper industry:
- Heat transfer: standard, fully welded, wide-gap and fusion-bonded plate heat exchangers, spiral heat exchangers, plate condensers, and plate evaporators
- Separation: disc stack centrifuges, decanter centrifuges, membrane filtration systems, drum thickeners, and automatic filters
- Fluid handling equipment: tank cleaning jet heads
