Full mill model for dissolving pulp based biorefinery
2015 (English)Conference paper, Published paper (Other academic)
Abstract [en]
Material and energy balances of a modern theoretical dissolving softwood kraft pulp mill, using pre-hydrolysis in water, have been established. The mill produces 1000 ADt/day and there is an energy excess in the mill that could be used to produce power. If lignin is removed with the LignoBoost process the recovery boiler is unloaded enabling an increased pulp production. With a lignin removal of 0.2 ton/ADt the pulp production could increase 8.5%. According to a sensitivity analysis the lignin price has the largest impact on the economic performance.
