Optimal Refining for TMP
Today’s paper producers face rising manufacturing costs, competition from alternate media, reduced demand, and soaring energy costs. Turning a profit amidst these pressures requires lower production costs and higher paper quality.
To attract and retain high-value customers, you have to produce paper of consistent high quality. Traditionally, this has been done with high-capital investments and the addition of purchased chemical pulp and expensive process additives. Unfortunately, these approaches have often only yielded higher operating costs and a low return on investment. To remain competitive, something has to change. That's where we come in.
Optimal Refining Solution
While thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) has become the mechanical pulping method of choice for many pulp and paper mills, the process still has ample room for improvement. Together, Metso Paper, Metso Automation and Pacific Simulation have the expertise, experience and resources to help you enhance every aspect of your thermo-mechanical pulping operation. We deliver sustained manufacturing performance improvement through the implementation of the proper segments, sensors, and advanced control and optimization technologies. We call our process “
optimal refining.” It allows you to produce the highest quality pulp, with the lowest variability, at the highest levels of efficiency and lowest production costs — all while meeting the exact requirements of your paper machines and your customers.Our solutions span the entire mill, taking advantage of the untapped potential available from improving TMP quality. No other company in the world can offer this depth of process knowledge, measurement capability and optimization solutions.
Improve the Performance of the Mill
Optimal performance is achieved when all stages of the process are first optimized individually, and then coordinated as a unit, maximizing product quality and economic performance. Accomplishing these objectives requires that all elements of the system - process equipment, process and performance measurements, regulatory and advanced control, quality and economic optimization - be properly implemented.
