Valmet's video: Optimizing Drying Energy Consumption on the Paper Machine

Drying is the most energy-intensive process in the papermaking process accounting for 80% of thermal energy costs due principally to cylinder drying and supply air heating. Drying energy consumption depends on many factors such as press design concept, steam and condensate system optimization, hood air balance and exhaust humidity control. This webinar concentrates on the optimization of the paper machine hood and air systems. After viewing this webinar, you will know: -the most important factors affecting dryer section energy economy -the best way to estimate energy efficiency via steam consumption -the impact of leakage air on drying -the relationship between hood exhaust temperature and humidity -what is the Valmet XT Control system and how does it work -what are mills achieving with the XT Control system -a three-phase checklist to reduce energy consumption -a step-by-step process of energy efficiency improvements for your millAfter viewing this webinar, you will know: -the most important factors affecting dryer section energy economy -the best way to estimate energy efficiency via steam consumption -the impact of leakage air on drying -the relationship between hood exhaust temperature and humidity -what is the Valmet XT Control system and how does it work -what are mills achieving with the XT Control system -a three-phase checklist to reduce energy consumption -a step-by-step process of energy efficiency improvements for your mill Presenter: Alfredo Sarli, Applications Specialist, Air Systems alfredo.sarli@valmet.com Alfredo has over 25 years of experience in the paper industry working in various functions from the wet end to the dry end.
