1 management within the pulp and paper industry F. Ometto A. Karlsson, X. Truong, C. Svedin, D. Donner and J. Ejlertsson Francesco Ometto, Ph.D. R&D Manager Disclaimer: all companies, the European Agency and the European Commission are not responsible for any use of the information here provided. All information are in relation to the sole Effi for LIFE demonstration project. The Problem Industrial production of everyday goods such as paper, food, and chemicals generates wastewater that has to be treated to protect our environment. 1

2 Effi in the EU market 903 active mills Million Euro turnover Paper and Board production (data from CEPI, June 2017) Wastewater production: ~15 m 3 per ton product! The Problem Treating wastewater comes at high costs for the industry in terms of intensive energy chemical nutrients carbon emissions 2

3 Effi for LIFE Sustainable Industrial Wastewater Treatment lower energy lower chemical nutrients lower carbon emissions innovative operations + onsite BIOGAS from waste products nutrients recovery and reuse renewable fuels + lower energy/chemicals A demonstration project for Climate Change Mitigation This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. Project number: LIFE14 CCM/SE/ A cooperation between 3

13 Fish waste is delivered by boat ECSB units (4 000 m 3 ) treating effluents from first sedimentation CSTR digesters ( m 3 ) treating WAS and fish waste LBG storage (350 m 3 ) and gas upgrading SECONDARY digester + GAS HOLDER STORAGE TANKS (6X) for fish silage and substrate SECONDARY sedimentation EVAPORATION for part of the rejected water January 2018 AEROBIC BASIN ( m 3 ) (Activated Treatment) 13

14 Emissions from AST? Hyperspectral maging of methane fluxes on a local scale (HyperCam Methane) Emissions from AST? ongoing evaluation Q1: How the aeration time will impact emissions? Q2: How the ECBS unit will impact emission? CH 4 N 2 O and H 2 O 14

15 Industrial symbiosis for Circular E Pulp and Paper mill Improved WWT performance (anaerobic + aerobic) Possible future expansion of mill production capacity Energy saving (less COD, reduced aeration Effi) Costs saving (less COD, less chemical nutrients Effi) Improved incineration performances (no WAS incinerated) Carbon saving (reduced carbon footprint) Anaerobic Digestion plant Feasible (substrate availability) Reduced costs for substrate delivery (available onsite) Strategic (secured long term co-operation) Reduced costs for rejected water disposal (recirculation into the WWT as primary source of nutrient Effi) Follow Effi! #Effi 15
