Top 4 Energy Consumers in the Paper Manufacturing Industry
Paper manufacturers that use CHP plants can reach efficiencies of over 80%, in comparison to coal and gas plants that at best, operate at around 40% efficiency. Boosted efficiency in CHP plants reduces overall energy costs. Many paper mills harness waste biomass produced during the pulping process to generate electricity.
Coal Grinding
Coal Grinding. To achieve good combustion and satisfactory flame formation, coal needs to be dried and ground to a proper degree of dryness and fineness. Drying of moisture in coal is achieved normally by ducting part of the kiln exhaust gas through the mill with inlet temperatures of up to 300°C. Inert kiln exhaust gases with oxygen content ...
