University Research SummaryPaul draws upon his practical experience as an engineering consultant in two distinct design and development and applied research programs. Paul’s major contributions are related to the application of process integration tools for systems analysis, to address problems that are critical to the forestry industry including particularly the forest products sector transformation – and assisting in the innovation process for biorefinery implementation.

His research activities focus on defining strategies to enhance the competitive position of forestry companies, while examining options for revenue diversification via implementation of biorefinery concepts. Through his research program, Paul seeks to train industry leaders whose fundamental competency is the ability to turn data into knowledge for decision-making. His graduate students are achieving success in their careers - particularly in the forest products sector (eg Domtar, Cascades, Tembec), management consulting (eg McKinsey, NCASI), and engineering consulting (eg AMEC, KSH, Hatch).

Design and Development Program: Process Integration in the Forestry Industry: Process integration involves processing and reconciling information from data management systems, and using the data in models to create knowledge for decision-making. This area is increasingly being viewed as critical to the long-term competitive position of the pulp and paper industry, especially in the context of manufacturing excellence, but also in the context of industry transformation to the biorefinery and other business models. The Chair conducts projects that include mill-based demonstrations of design methodologies, and has an emphasis on technology transfer activities to Chair partners. Dr. Martin Fairbank, Technology Director, Resolute Forest roducts: “Over the last several years we have installed data warehousing systems, enterprise resource planning systems, and other data management tools in order to be able to manage our business better, and we feel that the new tools and techniques being developed by École Polytechnique will help us reach our goals of cost reduction, variability reduction and increased levels of customer satisfaction”.

Applied Research Program: Innovative Technologies for Minimum Impact Pulp and Paper Manufacture: As a consultant, Paul planned and executed many pilot scale test programs involving emerging technologies such as in-process fibre fractionation technology, membrane treatment of white waters and effluents, novel physical-chemical treatments, sludge dewatering technologies, sequential batch reactors, novel trickling filters, and aerobic and anaerobic effluent treatment. In his applied research program, Paul assesses the technology risks and techno-economics of emerging environmental technologies, and is currently developing a novel continuous biodrying technology for the drying of mixed sludges from pulp and paper mills, as well as for drying biomass feedstocks intended for thermochemical biorefinery processes.


Forest Biorefinery Research Program

The research program of the NSERC Design Engineering Chair focuses on the design of the forest biorefinery. The mission of the following:

The NSERC Environmental Design Chair seeks to identify and design promising forest biorefinery concepts, considering the rapidly emerging body of knowledge related to this area, and considering a multi-dimensional set of criteria such as market/commercial factors, social

impacts, maturing technologies, etc.

We will achieve this by developing a practical set of product and process design methodologies suitable for systematically exploring biorefinery opportunities in retrofit to pulp and paper mills,

that generally minimize risk, whose strategic implementation involves existing mature supply chains, and that account for industry culture and other barriers to biorefinery implementation.

Our graduate students are applying our core skillset of process systems engineering in order to evaluate biorefinery case study programs directly for forestry companies. Each company has a unique program of projects that address key biorefinery transformational issues for the company, including for example:

Value chain analysis and product design for the forest biorefinery

Advanced energy analysis techniques for pulp and paper mills preparing for the implementation of the forest biorefinery

Ideal pulp and paper mill energy profiles suitable for the implementation of thermochemical, biochemical and chemical biorefinery processes

Biomass fractionation techniques and biomass procurement analysis for the forest biorefinery

Advanced cost accounting methods for evaluation of the forest biorefinery

Capital appropriation methods for assessing the forest biorefinery

Life cycle assessment of the forest biorefinery

Supply chain analysis of the forest biorefinery at the strategic, tactical and operational levels

Techno-economic evaluation of biochemical pathways, thermochemical pathways, and chemical (lignin precipitation) pathways

Techno-economic evaluation of the biorefinery for the production of ethanol versus the production of added-value organic chemicals

Forest sector to petrochemical sector integration for biorefinery products

NSERC Design Engineering ChairThe objective of the Chair at École Polytechnique is to develop a strong team in the fundamentals of different PI techniques, however to become the premiere university research group in the application of PI techniques to solve multidisciplinary design problems that are unique to the forestry industry. More specifically, the Chair seeks to achieve the following:

o To develop product and process design techniques based on the set of process integration tools for turning data into knowledge (i.e. fundamental and empirical models) suitable for decision-making, to address specific challenges facing the forestry industry,

o To use the Design and Development program case studies as inspiration for enhancing Chemical Engineering Design training in Canada, and

o To train graduate students in PI and multidisciplinary design techniques, and in so doing, train Canada’s future forest industry leaders.

Dr. Bruce Kerr, VP-Technology (now retired), Kruger Inc: “A very important outgrowth of this Chair is its ability to produce highly trained young people who are aware of what our industry can do and who can be recruited into our mills and companies. The industry needs these people and this is an excellent way to develop and attract them”.

1. Application of the set of Design Methodologies Related to Product-Process Design for Implementation of the Forest Biorefinery in Retrofit to Pulp and Paper Mills: The overall goal of this program is to apply the set of process integration and other design tools to determine the most appropriate configuration for implementing the forest biorefinery at pulp and paper mills. This program employs product design (including competitive analysis) and process design methodologies (for technology risk mitigation) in a systematic manner, reflecting the particular context of individual mills. A number of product analysis methods have been developed for identifying business plans that meet a minimum target return under the likely range of feedstock and product prices into the longer term. The Chair is invited to present this body of work internationally, and widely solicited regarding process and process decision-making relative to the forest biorefinery.

2. Application of the set of Design Methodologies Related to Selection of Sustainable Process Technology Strategies Based on Multi-Criteria Decision-Making: The overall goal of this program is to examine overall strategies that forestry companies might implement for their long-term planning. Different strategies are examined using process integration tools such as techno-economic large block analysis (LBA), life cycle assessment (LCA), and supply chain management (SCM). Outcome metrics are interpreted and weighed using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). Examples treated include (a) energy planning such as DIP content in newsprint, cogeneration from biomass configurations, marginal energy cost analysis, and load-shifting, and more recently (b) biorefinery technology selection for the case of sparse and uncertain data. PhD/Post-Doctoral Student Matty Janssen (now with Chalmers University in Sweden) applied MCDM techniques initially as a design method, and more recently MSc students Jérémie Cohen (now with biorefinery technology developer CIMV in France) and Manuel Quintero (now with Cmi Thermline in Belgium) led MCDM panels related to biorefinery process strategy and selection.


3. Development of Design Methodologies Related to On-Line Data Processing and Reconciliation for Mill-Wide Mass and Energy Balances: The overall goal of this program is to develop high quality databases of reconciled process data, suitable for advanced decision-making such as mill-wide optimization or process-driven supply chain optimization for biorefinery implementation. Post-Doctoral Fellow Taiwen Jiang (graduate of Tsinghua University) applied wavelet transform based techniques for data processing with the objective of removing signal noise and abnormalities in real-time data, and for the detection of process steady state. These wavelet techniques were combined with data reconciliation techniques, with the purpose of establishing “quality databases” of validated steady state mill-wide process heat and mass balances. MSc student Steve Bellec applied the techniques for a stock approach system of a paper machine, demonstrating the precision and accuracy of several competing data treatment methods suitable for on-line data reconciliation. PhD and now Post-Doctoral student Milan Korbel is examining the application of the overall methods at the mill-wide level, including reconciliation of process and cost data for advanced cost accounting models suitable designed for process decision-making for the forest biorefinery.

4. Development of Design Methodologies Related to Energy Analysis and Heat Exchange Network Design: The overall goal of this program is to develop practical energy analysis techniques suitable for advanced energy efficiency analysis. PhD Student Sebastien Lafourcade (France) developed a novel practical thermal pinch analysis technique, suitable for energy and water use reduction in integrated (TMP-DIP) newsprint mills. It was applied at two newsprint mills, and then generalized to various mill configurations for different DIP content and typical energy recovery configurations. Post-Doctoral Fellow Ulrika Wising (Sweden) examined kraft mill techniques including cross-pinch evaluation and site-wide pinch analysis for evaluating cogeneration potential. Currently, PhD Student Jean-Christophe Bonhivers (Belgium) is building on these methods to develop an overall optimization-based sequential approach for energy analysis of kraft pulp mills planning biorefinery implementation.

5. Development of Design Methodologies Related to Process Data Analysis for Process Analysis and Optimization: The goal of this program is to develop empirical models based on historical mill data, suitable for improved mill process analysis and control. Multivariate analysis (MVA) was used by PhD Student Robert Harrison (now with Hatch Consultants) to explore the impact of data quality, differences in temporal and spatial data characteristics, and the effect of parameter variability on MVA outcomes, specifically in the context of estimating pulp and newsprint quality. PhD Student Jean-Martin Brault (now with the World Bank) examined the use of neural networks (NN) to create models for the prediction of filamentous events and for nutrient control for activated sludge treatment plants.

6. Development of Design Methodologies Related to Dynamic Mill-Wide Process Analysis for Process Optimization: The overall goal of this program is to develop dynamic process models which are suitable for advanced process control (APC) applications such as real-time optimization (RTO). MSc student Michal Dabros (Alberta) developed a dynamic simulation of an integrated newsprint mill, and explored broke recirculation strategies with the objective of minimizing rates of change in the paper machine headbox. By simulating unmeasured parameters such as total dissolved solids and fibre length distribution, the rate of change in


the headbox with time was extracted from the simulation for various broke recirculation strategies. It was determined that certain minor modifications in broke recirculation strategy can result in a dramatic reduction in the rate of change in headbox conditions, and if implemented, this operating strategy may reduce paper machine breaks. MSc Student Fatiha Akrour (Algeria) established a statistical process analysis technique for determining the likely number of paper machine breaks due to headbox instabilities (an extension of this method is currently being implemented at a number of mills).

7. Development of Design Methodologies Related to “Life Cycle Thinking” in the Pulp and Paper Industry: The overall goal of this program is to develop practical methods employing life cycle assessment (LCA) for environmental decision-making at pulp and paper mills. These methods typically combine LCA with other analysis techniques generating economic metrics, and the results are integrated using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques. To establish appropriate applications of LCA, the Chair completed the most significant review to date of the available literature and several confidential reports regarding the application of LCA in the pulp and paper industry. Based on this review and discussions with pulp and paper companies as well as industry associations, a strategy for “life cycle thinking” was developed. MSc Student Erica Salazar (now with BHP Billiton in Australia) developed an LCA model for an integrated newsprint mill, completed a “hot spot” analysis, and developed a practical method for evaluating the sensitivity of the model to key parameters. MSc Student Fernando Cornejo (now a consultant with Jacobs Minerals in Toronto) used this LCA model to enhance environmental impact assessment methodology. PhD Student Caroline Gaudreault (Now with NCASI) developed an LCA model for a large integrated kraft mill, and used the model for long-term energy planning, and then extended the work for assessment of forest biorefinery configurations. Currently PhD student Dieudonné Batsy is exploring the use of LCA combined with other design tools to assess the implication of climate change policy on biorefinery strategy.

8. Development of Design Methodologies Related to Supply Chain Optimization in the Pulp and Paper Industry: The overall goal of this program is to develop methods for employing “process-driven” supply chain (SC) management for SC operations. PhD Student Martin Laflamme-Mayer (now with McKinsey) examined the procurement of different chip species for producing different grades of BCTMP. He showed that process-driven SC management could lead to margins-based product scheduling with significantly better profit – even for commodity grade products. This work has inspired a program for evaluation of the forest biorefinery including PhD Students Jose Melendez concerning biomass procurement, Behrang Mansoornejad concerning margins-based SC management for biorefinery product portfolios at the mill level, and Louis Patrick Dansereau concerning biorefinery product portfolios at the corporate level.

Definition-Grade Engineering;

Assistance through construction phase;

Technical assistance throughout gradual implementation leading to near closed cycle operation.

As a consequence of this project, the mill reduced their effluent discharge flow to under 4 m3/t.

Inland Paperboard (linerboard, Ontario, California): Technical feasibility of implementing zero discharge at the mill to avoid paying high water usage and discharge charges. Proposed incorporating existing SBR treatment vessels with membrane technology, to minimize impact on machine operation especially for production of high performance linerboard grades.


Climax Manufacturing Company (matt board, Carthage, New York): Investigation into the technical and economic feasibility of implementing zero discharge operation at the 130 t/d recycled fibre furnish matt board mill.
