Water treatment in pulp and paper mills

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to study and compare effect of each certain water quality indicator to water treatment energy consumption. Also, determination of kinds of equipment which are the most exposed of those parameters change. This thesis describes the basic technological processes of water treatment. For research there were considered various Russian water treatment equipment. The graphical dependences of water quality indicators changes and energy consumption were constructed. The results of this study can be used for energy audits at various pulp and paper mills’ water treatment installations and in other industries ones such as energy sector for example.
