Tissue World Americas 2010 preview
PAGE 1 • PAGE 2 • PAGE 3
All the excitement over the role of BRIC, Eastern Europe, the Middle East
and other fast-growing countries can obscure the fact that North America
still accounts for close to 30% of world demand for tissue products and
that the USA and Canada are the world’s leaders by a wide margin in per capita
consumption of tissue. According to Tissue World magazine’s 2009 Projects Survey,
published in November, the region is investing heavily in new high-tech
machines, most at the leading edge of technology. For those with an interest
in meeting suppliers to the world’s most demanding market place and representatives
of the most advanced tissue producing companies, there is no better venue than
Miami in March.
ALGAS FLUID TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM AS - BOOTH: 1010
|
|
The Algas microfilter concept has been installed in mills
around the world for over 30 years. Water requirements and standards are
getting tougher but the returns from better treatment are also getting better,
the company says.
As better water management has become more important, the original areas
of Microfilter application have been extended to many others, ranging from
treating filtrate from screw presses, polishing the clear water from existing
savealls to a ‘super clear’ quality for safe re-use, through to primary effluent
and bio-treatment. |
The high filtering efficiency from the Microfilter concept helps the re-use
of clear filtrate to replace fresh water, thereby reducing water consumption
overall with all the associated savings in energy, heat and costs in chemical
use and effluent treatment.
Taking all these areas of saving into consideration, especially savings in
energy, generally the payback time is around six months. Even for more
complex projects when old equipment has to be removed, new piping runs
added and the filter installed, this is easily covered in one year from
total savings which, depending on applications, range from hundreds of thousands
to over a million dollars every year.
The compact size of the concept is very beneficial where space is limited.
As an example the holding capacity of an Algas Microfilter is only 5% of that
of a sedimentation basin for the same application duty.
As water quality demands increase, Algas is solving the new challenges that
are appearing with those demands.

The new Andritz PrimeDry steel Yankee and re-evaporation system allow the
reduction of energy costs by up to 30% savings in drying steam consumption.
With the new Andritz PrimeDry head insulation for all Yankee dryers, energy
savings of 2-5% in steam consumption can be achieved. Andritz has also developed
a unique patent pending PrimeDustEx W wet dust removal system to substantially
improve the machine’s runnability by decreasing dust accumulation and the potential
of fire hazards in the dry end.
Andritz Pulp & Paper is also a leading global supplier of systems and
equipment for fibre lines for all papermaking processes, such as recycled fibre
processing, stock preparation, paper machine approach systems, broke handling.
Sludge and reject handling and internal water loop handling round off the specific

CARGILL ENHANCED FIBRE ADDITIVES - BOOTH: 1138
 |
|
Overall mill productivity gains may be the best benefit of
Cargill’s HemiForce™ enhanced fibre additives. Early results show that mills
using HemiForce™ additives have demonstrated increased machine speeds while
maintaining standard machine performance and quality standards across a broad
range of tissue grades. |
Sourced from renewable agricultural seed fibres, the name HemiForce™ comes
from the high hemicellulose composition of the product, which improves fibre-to-fibre
bonding. This provides a tool for papermakers to increase speed, optimize raw
material, minimize refining, reduce wet-end chemical usage, and lower overall
manufacturing costs. A reduction in refining adds additional benefits for improved
bulk, energy use and drainage.
Net savings for tissue manufacturers have been demonstrated at $8-15/ton
or more, with long-running machine productivity gains. HemiForce™ enhanced
fibre additives are convenient and cost effective. The products can be
readily added at any stage in the stock preparation or wet end of the
paper machine with the same productivity, cost and quality benefits. HemiForce™
additives displace pulp fibre on a one-to-one basis and have shown increased
retention for fibre and fibre fines.
