Papermill Air Monitoring

In a commonly used process called the Kraft Process, commonly used in the pulp and paper industry to produce pulp, wood and chemicals are cooked in a digestor to remove the ligins and sugars, the waste from the digestor is know as “Black Liquor” and is typically burnt in the paper mills (Recovery Boilers) to generate electricity. The burning of the black liquor may produces high level of emissions.

Various by-products containing hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, and other volatile sulfur commonly known as total reduced sulfur (TRS) are the cause of the malodorous air emissions which sometimes result from disturbance situations such as when the mill is shut down for maintenance.

SO2 and NOx emissions may also be generated by the recovery boilers, lime kiln and the plants power station. .
Global warming and associated environmental trading schemes proposed in many countries is also of concern and may see Pulp & Paper manufacturers scrutinise their CO2 emission closely.
