Controlling And Optimizing Wet Felt Press Section Treatment Costs The Problem: Wet Press and Dryer Section treatments had decreased a Kraft mill’s profitability via significant chemical costs and by not addressing various paper machine efficiency issues. Our Solution: Cesco replaced the incumbent treatment chemistries for this mill in 2000/2001, initiating multiple program improvements (products and application technologies) and since that time paper machine performance has increased, while treatment costs remain steady, and in some cases, have decreased. The Results: The following line graph illustrates a dramatic 40% reduction in treatment costs per ton (over 50% when adjusted for inflation) over the life of the program, now running for seven years strong.< Pulp & Paper Case Studies
