Pulp and Paper Industry Air and Water Pollution Control Solutions
From pulping wood to bleaching and papermaking, the pulp and paper industry emits various pollutants, such as chlorine dioxide (ClO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like methanol and benzene. Pulp and paper mills also emit wastewater characterized by suspended solids, chemical compounds and lignin.
Implementing effective pollution control strategies is essential in complying with ever-stricter environmental regulations, avoiding costly fines and protecting personnel and the surrounding community.
MACH Engineering leverages advanced technologies to provide a range of pollution control solutions tailored to your business needs. Our comprehensive services support you from the design stage to post-installation, collaborating with your team throughout for the best results.
Pulp and Paper Production Solutions
Equip your production with our quality pollution control solutions:
- Wet scrubbers: A pulp and paper wet scrubber is suitable for controlling pollution at lime kilns, power boilers, recovery boilers and other critical points in a pulp and paper mill. It removes particulate matter, VOCs and acidic gases.
- Steam stripping: This process treats foul condensates to remove total reduced sulfur (TRS) compounds and organic pollutants like methanol, which contribute to biochemical oxygen demand in water pollution and odor and VOCs in air pollution.
- Demisters: Also known as mist eliminators, these devices are crucial in wet scrubbers and evaporators. They prevent the carryover of liquid with the exiting clean gas to safeguard downstream assets from pollutants.
- Waste media tower packing or bio-media: Since pulp and paper wastewater contains a high biochemical oxygen demand, using bio-media in a treatment tower allows the microorganisms to break down the organic pollutants.
