Mass Integration of a Deinking Mill

2004
Conference Papers

Abstract

The obtimisation of water networks in a deinking mill has been carried out using Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming. The objective function included the costs of water and chemical usage, and of piping retrofitting. The constraints were stream composition limits, forbidden connections and whitewater treatment unit capacities. Depending on whether paper machine whitewater clarification could be envisaged or not, the fresh water intake could be diminished by 4.9 or 4.3 m3/odt of pulp respectively.

Water industry

The water industry provides drinking water and wastewater services (including sewage treatment) to residential, commercial, and industrial sectors of the economy. Typically public utilities operate water supply networks. The water industry does not include manufacturers and suppliers of bottled water, which is part of the beverage production and belongs to the food sector. The water industry includes water engineering, operations, water and wastewater plant construction, equipment supply and specialist water treatment chemicals, among others.

Water footprint

A water footprint shows the extent of water use in relation to consumption by people. The water footprint of an individual, community, or business is defined as the total volume of fresh water used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual or community or produced by the business. Water use is measured in water volume consumed (evaporated) and/or polluted per unit of time. A water footprint can be calculated for any well-defined group of consumers (e.g.

Water supply

Water supply is the provision of water by public utilities, commercial organisations, community endeavors or by individuals, usually via a system of pumps and pipes. Public water supply systems are crucial to properly functioning societies. These systems are what supply drinking water to populations around the globe. Aspects of service quality include continuity of supply, water quality and water pressure. The institutional responsibility for water supply is arranged differently in different countries and regions (urban versus rural).
