Abstract

The Minimum Impact Mill Technologies which can meet the environmental challenges of the pulp and paper industry are discussed in this chapter. These include Optimised wood handling; Dry Debarking; High Yield Pulping Process; Extended Modified cooking; Efficient Brownstock Washing/Improved Pulp Washing; Oxygen Delignification; Ozone bleaching; ECF and TCF bleaching; Fortification of extraction stages with oxygen and hydrogen peroxide; HexA Removal; Condensate Stripping and Recovery; Minimum SO2 and NOx Emissions; Electrostatic Precipitators; Increase in the dry solids content of black liquor; Installation of scrubbers on the recovery boiler; Incineration of odorous gases in the lime kiln; Installation of low NOx technology in auxiliary boilers and the lime kiln; SNCR on bark boilers; Over Fire Air Technique on recovery boilers; Installation of improved washing of lime mud in recausticizing; Efficient Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Waste Treatment (in some special cases); Partial system closure; Minimum Power Consumption; Waste water Recycling and reuse.
