The low-carbon development strategy of Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill

We managed to reduce GHG emissions with the help of the following actions: - Commissioning of a new high-pressure multi-fuel boiler, which uses biomass waste as fuel. - Commissioning of five Flottweg decanters for dewatering a mixture of sewage sludge and excess activated sludge. - Commissioning of a new semi-cellulose production plant with the introduction of modern technologies and the installation of highly efficient gas cleaning equipment. These actions led to a reduction in the consumption of forest resources, a reduction in the energy intensity of products, a reduction in water consumption, as well as reduction in emissions and discharges of pollutants. - The reconstruction of cardboard-making machines has led to an increase in the use of semi-cellulose fiber, a decrease in the specific consumption of steam and electricity, and a decrease in water consumption - The construction of a new evaporation station for the production of cardboard provided the introduction of modern energy-efficient technologies for the evaporation of lye, systems for collecting and neutralizing sulfur-containing steam and gas emissions, and cleaning dirty condensates. - The construction of a new wood preparation shop using dry debarking technology has significantly reduced water consumption in the preparation of wood raw materials and reduced the discharge of pollutants. - The reconstruction of the washing plant in the pulp production allowed to reduce water consumption/ wastewater disposal, reduce the consumption of chemicals. - A number of measures have been taken to reduce the discharge of pollutants into the water at biological and mechanical wastewater treatment facilities.
