Addressing Resource Consumption Inefficiencies in Pulp & Paper Production

Eliminate Inefficiencies Long Term

The processes used to convert wood fibers into pulp and paper products require a substantial amount of energy and water. But these resources are not free and there is not an infinite supply available. Therefore, mill production costs are rising, and frequently in a nonlinear fashion as many mills experience challenges with production capacities being pushed well beyond what the mill was designed for. As a result, these necessary energy- and water-intensive processes are under constant scrutiny for optimization in most mills.

This white paper walks through how to drive real change in your pulp and paper mill by covering the following topics:
  • The three most common culprits of resource inefficiencies in mills, and how to address each one
  • How and why you should eliminate assumptions about your processes
  • Why taking a holistic approach will make your mill more efficient
  • Best practices for measuring and tracking mill improvements
  • Allnorth’s proven approach to eliminating long-term inefficiencies
