Influence of short-term variations on energy-saving opportunities in a pulp mill

Drivers, Barriers, and Success Factors for Improving Energy Management in the Pulp and Paper Industry

“…Moreover, an evaluation was conducted of the extent to which seasonal variations affect the potential for making energy savings in a pulp mill. This was investigated using pinch analysis and showed that 88-94% of the theoretical energy savings could be attributed to seasonal variation [74].…”

The value of flexibility for pulp mills investing in energy efficiency and future biorefinery concepts

“…The studied pulp mill has previously been analysed with respect to energy-saving opportunities in its hot and warm water system [30]. That study also considered the influence of process variations on the energy-saving potential and the optimal HEN configuration.…”
