The Economics of Direct Steam Injection, 2005 Engineering, Pulping & Environmental Conference
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the benefits and dynamics of applying direct steam injection in pulp and paper production. Direct steam injection (DSI) is an underutilized technology, that when applied correctly, it can have startling results. This paper will provide the fundamental background on direct steam injection and discuss how it can be applied to benefit pulp and paper production.
Direct steam injection has been in use for more than 70 years, yet it is not thoroughly understood by the market. It has proven successful in a variety of applications worldwide. From wastewater treatment to baby food production, direct steam injection is the most energy efficient and versatile direct heating solution for the marketplace.
