The dryer section is often overlooked while being the largest energy user in the paper mill. Regular dryer section energy audits can help find potential energy savings. Corrections are instituted immediately, but over time drift back to inefficient conditions. With proper PI data monitoring and tracking tools these savings can be sustained over time to optimize the dryer section energy performance. This paper will cover case studies utilizing dryer section energy audits and how PI data tracking/monitoring tools can sustain energy savings.
