Listed in order of priorities. Temperature increased 15°C for the bleaching plant, reaching recommendations.Decreased water consumption by pointing out where the waste was and prioritized based on $$ spent for each m³ saved, designed process and engineering solutions and actions for short listed items and implemented. Consumption reduced 27% for the pulpmill.Corrected misleading DCS screens and process descriptions to enhance process control abilities (Chip wash screening room, Double wire Press hydraulic system)Set specifications and documented contract to install a pulp analyser (CSF, fibre analysis)Defined engineering constraints for increasing production on #1 line (not enough air to convey drying energy through the ducts), and participated to increasing productivity of the double wire press and consecutive drying line through multiple projects, using feedback from operators, guidance from management and support from site engineers (dewatering boards upgrade, floating wedge upgrade, stock feed pressure control implementation, dryer 2nd stage centrifugal fan upgrade). Production rate increased from 290adt/d to 330adt/d, with 15adt/d spare capacity as the bottleneck shifted downstream to the slab press. Show less

This allowed avoiding a production shut by the end of July by starting to store 3 months in advance, and saved 27kEuros in October by ordering only the required volumes when prices were high in August/September.

Besse Sur Braye - France

Product Development - Benchmarked processes of Arjowiggins Besse and Dalum Papir to improve surface properties of offset paper from recycled pulp in heavy grades (350GSM).Studied reeling tension system after the coating machine to determine optimization of tension control as the reel grows, to avoid uneven gloss on semi-mat papers, as too much tension tends to shift all pigments to the same orientation, increasing reflection.
