Our efforts to reduce CO2 emissions never stop

CO2 emissions are one of the most important fields of action for increasing sustainability. Governments and industry associations have set high goals in this area. With the Low Carbon Paper Mill, we are setting an important course for CO2 reduction in paper production.

Our technologies

Voith has developed systems and products for all paper grades that effectively save energy along the entire process chain – and also recover and generate energy from renewable sources. Our goal is to cut energy consumption for paper manufacturing in half. This becomes possible both through the use of innovative technologies and the reduction of resource consumption. By increasing the portion of recovered paper, noticeably less power is needed.

TheWall

TheWall

The innovative design of TheWall allows uniform distribution and feeding of the pulp. This is achieved by the rotor which is equipped with feeding vanes and the strategically arranged distribution teeth.

Paper Machine

OnEfficiency.DIP

OnEfficiency.DIP

OnEfficiency.DIP optimizes an existing DIP line to create constant DIP quality at minimum cost. The existing flotation is supplemented by additional actuators; new sensors are installed to monitor the quality parameters.
The DIP quality fluctuations created by incoming raw materials or production changes are reduced by dynamic adjustment of the losses at the washing/flotation as well as real-time optimization of the bleaching chemicals dosage.
