The pulp and paper industry is one of the largest consumers of water, using it extensively in processes such as pulping, bleaching, and paper manufacturing. This results in the generation of substantial volumes of wastewater containing a mix of organic and inorganic pollutants.
Effluents from pulp and paper mills include black liquor, bleaching effluents, and process water. These effluents are rich in organic matter, lignin, chlorinated compounds, and suspended solids. Key processes include raw material preparation, pulping, pulp washing, screening, bleaching, and paper making, each contributing different pollutants to the wastewater.
The pulp and paper industry faces unique challenges in managing its wastewater. High levels of BOD, COD, and toxic substances such as chlorinated compounds are common. Additionally, the industry must address the issue of color removal from effluents, which is critical for meeting discharge standards.
We provide specialized wastewater treatment solutions for the pulp and paper industry, utilizing advanced technologies like anaerobic treatment, sedimentation, and flotation. Our services include primary treatment, biological treatment, and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems, designed to tackle the industry’s specific effluent challenges. Our innovative solutions help pulp and paper mills achieve efficient and sustainable wastewater management, reducing their environmental impact and enhancing operational efficiency.
