1. Anaerobic digestion in the kraft pulp and paper industry : Challenges and possibilities for implementation
Sammanfattning : The pulp and paper industry is a large producer of wastewater and sludge, putting high pressure on waste treatment. In addition, more rigorous environmental legislation for pollution control and demands to increase the use of renewable energy have put further pressure on the pulp and paper industry’s waste treatment, where anaerobic digestion (AD) and the production of methane could pose a solution.

2. Optimization of Investments for Strategic Process Integration and Pulp Mill Biorefinery Projects under Uncertainty
Sammanfattning : Energy-intensive industrial plants operate in a changing, uncertain environment. Long-term changes are expected in energy prices, political regulations and technology development. Pulp and paper companies, like many other industries, are under strong pressure to respond to these changes. LÄS MER
3. Analysing different technology pathways for the pulp and paper industry in a European energy systems perspective
Sammanfattning : For the pulp and paper industry (PPI), earlier research has shown that there are many technology pathways, proven and new, available for improvement of energy efficiency and additional sales of (new) products. Some pathways can only be implemented in kraft mills, e.g. black liquor gasification (BLG), but some can be implemented industry-wide, e. LÄS MER
4. Asthma and cancer among pulp and paper mill workers
Sammanfattning : There were two main aims of this thesis. One was to study if repeated high exposures to irritant gases give rise to new-onset asthma, and the other was to study if exposure in pulp and paper mills were associated with cancer. LÄS MER
5. Energy Export Opportunities from Kraft Pulp and Paper Mills and Resulting Reductions in Global CO2 Emissions
Sammanfattning : With increasing energy prices and increasing demand for CO2-lean energy sources, energy savings in the pulp and paper industry become ever more relevant. Significant energy savings in kraft mills can be made by e.g. improved heat integration and installation of an energy-efficient evaporation plant. LÄS MER
