Pulp & Paper

Efficiency in Mills

The pulp and paper industry is energy-intensive and has a significant impact on emissions due to the energy required for pulp production, paper manufacturing processes, and associated activities.

SysEne knows tackling energy efficiency and decarbonization in pulp and paper requires developing wholistic strategies and actions tailored to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions based on the specific characteristics of the mill.

Delivering Results

The pulp and paper industry is energy-intensive, and energy costs form a significant portion of production expenses. Rising energy prices and the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions necessitate constant efforts to improve energy efficiency, optimize energy management, and explore alternative energy sources.

The pulp and paper industry is also a significant user of water for various processes, including pulping, washing, and papermaking. Proper water management, including water conservation, wastewater treatment, and minimizing water usage can be highly effective pathways to optimize and reduce energy and emissions.

SysEne engineers bring decades of experience uncovering energy-efficient low-carbon measures and delivering innovative solutions in boilers, waste heat streams, pumps, fans, and compressors driving pulp and paper manufacturing systems. SysEne’s technical team will analyze your facility’s energy consumption profile to compare with industry benchmarks and equipment specifications to determine the carbon emissions profile for the facility. Whether a mechanical or chemical pulping process, SysEne engineers regularly find economic reductions of up to 20% in energy and emissions.

SysEne will help your organization develop a strategy and approach to maximize the impact of government incentives over time, enabling projects to move forward.

I’ve worked with lots of agencies that have what they call their ‘special sauce’. It might work for you, but it’s not going to work for every single company that you come across. You have to be flexible and adaptive. And I think that’s what they do really well.
