Improving energy efficiency

in the pulp and paper industry

Thermal Energy International Inc.

The pulp and paper industry is one of the most

energy-intensive sectors in North America and the

European Union.

According to Statistics Canada, in 2014, the pulp and paper industry accounted

for 24% of the total energy consumed by manufacturing operations in the country.

Typical paper mills use most of their energy in the

drying process. In fact some 60% to 80% of a paper

mill’s energy can be used for drying of the product.

We have proven energy

efficiency solutions that

provide significant

reductions in carbon

emissions and energy

consumption – delivering a

high return on investment.

Our FLU-ACE® heat recovery technology can

recover as much as 90% of the heat normally lost

through dryer section / hood exhausts in the form of

water at 50°C to 70°C.

This is possible using the FLU-ACE’s unique direct

contact packed-tower design, enabling optimal

recovery of both sensible and latent heat, in widely

varying operating conditions.

Recovered waste heat is recycled back into

processes and / or heating systems, significantly

reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas

emissions.

The installation of venturi

orifice designed GEM™

steam traps enables pulp

and paper operations to

achieve a 10% to 20%

permanent reduction in

steam costs, reduce water

hammering problems, and

improve their production

output.

With no moving parts and

a ten-year “no fail”

performance warranty,

GEM steam traps can

eliminate the cost of

replacing failed traps.

Production interruptions

caused by repeated

mechanical trap failures

are a thing of the past.

Our Super-Efficient Cogeneration™ solutions improve

energy efficiency to as high as 93% and can provide

up to 70% savings on electrical costs at a self-

generated kWh cost of less than $0.04/kWh.
