Traditionally, steam required for heating and evaporation of process liquor is generated in the powerhouse using natural gas. A particular case looked at the re-use of this steam using Mechanical Vapor Recompression supplied with electrical power, potentially from renewables.• Instrument Data Reconciliation: Building, testing and investigation of applications for digestion and clarification areas, using techniques based on robust statistics and a simultaneous non-linear programming type approach• Calcination modelling: Model for new calciner development with additional and modified heat recovery stages• Precipitation Modelling: Interfacing/integration of proprietary unit operations model with Flowsheeting software (Aspen Custom Modeler)• Thermodynamic Modeling: Interfacing proprietary thermodynamic models with Flowsheeting software (Aspen Custom Modeler) Show less
