PULP AND PAPER INDUS TRY ENERGY BANDWIDTH STUDY Robert Kinstrey* and David E. White** *Jacobs, Greenville, South Carolina **Institute of Paper Science and Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia ABSTRACT A pulp and paper industry energy bandwidth study was conducted with support from the AIChE and DOE-OIT. The objective was to use results of this study to identify the RD areas that have the greatest potential for energy savings. To accomplish this result, the following estimates were made: • An estimate of the current average energy consumption by mill areas / technologies based on the 2002 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS) • An estimate of what the energy consumption would be by mill areas / technologies if “Best Available” practices were applied utilizing current state-of-the-art (SOA) or Best Available Technologies (BAT). • An estimate in selected mill areas / technologies of what the energy consumption would be if new technologies could be developed to drive energy consumption down to “practical minimum” using advanced technology not currently practiced. The difference between today’s average and the “practical minimal technologies” represents an area of opportunity that could be used to direct research grant money to encourage the development of technologies that would result in reduced energy consumption • An estimate of what the energy consumption would be of selected mill areas / technologies if “ theoretical minimum” energy (based on theoretical calculations) could be achieved.
