Condensate Return: One of the Keys to the Paper Industry's Future, 1992 TAPPI Conference Proceedings
In the integrated paper mill, the papermaking operation is discrete, but it is not isolated; it is inter-related with the entire plant, and that relationship will become more and more significant as the industry evolves over the coming decade.
This paper compares the papermaking industry of today with that projected for the year 2001, illustrating how an increased and more efficient condensate return system can contribute to the reduction of production costs, maximization of profits, improved products, and enhancement of environmental protection. The paper considers anticipated changes in products and production processes, power generation processes, fuel demands, and cogeneration; society’s needs, and local, state, and federal environmental regulation and enforcement.
