Note:
The above effluent discharge norms or effluent norms as prescribed by the concerned State Pollution Control Board, whichever are stringent, will be applicable.
Solutions
Optimizing the Pulping & Paper Process
- by selecting right technologies in the process
- by measuring critical process parameters
- by controlling the process variables based on accurate measurements
Optimizing the Effluent treatment process
- selecting technology suited to your needs
- measuring critical process parameters in ETP
- controlling the process and minimizing contaminated content

Customer case in India
Khanna Paper Mills is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company
320 TPD DIP plant feeding PM-5 was one of the initial priorities for optimization.
Major challenges in this DIP were Brightness/ERIC variation and hence rejections
Excess chemicals were being used to compensate for Brightness drop.
In February 2013 Valmet installed INLINE sensor CORMEC 5 for the measurement of ERIC and Brightness at two stages to start with:
- MC-Pump number 1 i.e. before addition of H2O2
- MC-Pump number 2 i.e. before addition of Na2S204
Date Author Title ©Valmet15
Reported savings were as:
- Reduction of Na2S204 consumption was up to 15%
- Reduction in H2O2 consumption was up to 10%
- Reduction in Brightness variability was more than 20%.
Ink deposition on PM-5 has reduced considerably leading to:
- Lesser use of cleaning chemicals
- Improvement in physical health of PM-5 with respect to improved felt & rolls life.
And finally: lesser chemicals in the effluent

Waste water treatment plan overview Total Solids, Low Solids, BOD/COD measurements

Case study-1Shandong APRIL SSYMB Pulp & Paper, Rizhao
Plant phase I is 315,000 ton fine wood pulp annually
Plant phase 2 is1,000,000 ton fine wood pulp annually
Phase II waste water plant treatment capability is 130,000 ton per day
The normal sludge concentration of the sludge mixing tank outlet is 2%~4%
Valmet TS sludge concentration transmitter is used for the measurement and the control loop.
The final total solids concentration reaches about 40%. It decreases the sludge bulk and water content. It will be more convenient for the sludge storage and the transportation.

Case study 2: Stora Enso Anjalankoski
Stora Enso’s Anjalan koski paper mill and Inkeroinen board mill in Finland form an in tegrated mill complex.
The customer has utilized the measurements in the bark sludge, primary and mixed sludge lines
On-line solids content measurement has enabled them to react to process changes immediately, which is very important in controlling sludge flows.

Measurement principle
• It measures the time of flight of a microwave signal in the sludge.
• Microwave’s delay time in water vs. total solids = a linear relationship:
