Extensive Pulp & Paper Capabilities

Influent (Raw) Water Treatment
Regardless of the source of the intake water, Veolia technologies ensure there is a consistent supply of water to the facility.   

Utility Water
Pulp and paper manufacturers rely upon their utility operations to provide steam and cooling water to support production.  Veolia’s equipment and chemical technologies effectively produce the type of water your utilities need to ensure reliable steam quality, heat exchange efficiency and environmental compliance.

Wastewater
Veolia is experienced in helping clients reduce their financial exposure and comply with discharge requirements and stringent environmental regulations. 

Water Footprint Reduction
To reduce a facility's water footprint, Veolia offers a wide-variety of water reuse technologies. From debarking wash water to wastewater reuse, Veolia helps companies optimize the use of water in their facility.

Mobile Water Treatment
Veolia Water Technologies provides mobile water and wastewater treatment solutions to cover emergency, temporary or long-term water treatment needs.

Advanced Water Reuse, Fiber Recovery, and Wastewater Treatment Strategies for Recycled Pulp & Paper Mills

Water usage, process efficiency, and carbon footprint reduction are key focuses for many recycled pulp and paper facilities. New technologies, processes, and strategies within the water and wastewater loops can help boost a facility’s sustainability while also improving operational efficiency.

This on-demand webinar is geared to discuss the latest technologies and water management strategies designed to reduce water footprint, increase fiber recovery, and treat wastewater prior to discharge.

Liquor Concentration and Chemical Recovery Capabilities using HPD® Evaporation and Crystallization Technologies

Black Liquor Concentration 
The thermal treatment of black liquor through evaporation achieves higher solids content and lower loads to the recovery boiler leading to the optimization of combined heat and power production. When integrated within the chemical recovery cycle, this technology promotes higher operational efficiencies while enabling the reuse of high-quality condensate.

Precipitator Ash Treatment
With the closing of process loops, chloride and potassium accumulate in the recovery cycle and result in scaling and corrosion in the boiler. Using highly-selective crystallization technologies, these non-process elements (NPEs) are removed while sodium is recovered to maximize soda chemical savings.

Case Study - Leading Container Board Manufacturer

Technology: HPD® Black Liquor Evaporation & Chloride Removal System

Location: Virginia (USA)
An existing containerboard manufacturing facility needed to replace the existing three evaporator trains at the facility.  The project scope included construction of a six-effect, HPD® falling film evaporator train that produces 74% product solids at an evaporation rate of 897k lbs/hr (407 t/h). Veolia also installed a CRP (Chloride Removal Process) System to successfully process precipitator slurry to protect downstream utility equipment from scaling.
