Sector overview

Water treatment for paper & pulp

Fiber-rich effluent treatment with recovery-focused clarification and membrane polishing.

Challenges

Paper & Pulp wastewater challenges

Key effluent and compliance pressures WTT systems are designed to address.

Water-Intensive Manufacturing
Water fundamental in every phase from pulping raw materials to final paper finishing processes, serving as medium for fiber transport, chemical distribution, and temperature control.
Complex Wastewater Characteristics
High BOD (lignin, carbohydrates, volatile acids), high COD from bleaching, suspended solids (fiber particles, fillers like kaolin, calcium carbonate, bark), color and lignin compounds.
Toxic Substance Management
AOX (adsorbable organic halides), resin and fatty acids, sulfur compounds requiring specialized treatment approaches.
Process Variability Challenges
pH and temperature variability with extreme discharge values affecting treatment system stability.
Environmental Compliance Pressure
Stringent regulations requiring advanced treatment for discharge or Zero Liquid Discharge implementation.
Production Consistency Requirements
Water quality directly impacts paper sheet structure, coating processes, and final product quality.
