Don’t Run Afoul With Your Pipes

在纸浆和造纸等复杂的行业中，生产效率和正常运行时间是成功的关键。造纸过程中的每一个环节都至关重要，管道也不例外。它们是一种具有成本效益和灵活的方式，用于工厂运输关键的工艺材料和侧流，包括黑、绿、白白酒、漂白化学品和污泥。一条管道可能对整个生产过程的有效工作至关重要。然而，管道很容易堵塞和泄漏，这可能导致工厂停工进行清理，每小时的成本高达数万美元或更多。

While several solutions such as coatings, high-pressure cleaning, and chemical cleaning can be used to reduce fouling, many of them involve manual /mechanical intervention, production lockdowns, or cause harmful chemical emissions that are extremely dangerous to operators in the field. Most also do not sustainably support industrial processes and productivity.

This fall, attendees of TAPPI’s 2022Pulping, Engineering, Environmental, Recycling and Sustainability (PEERS) Conferencewill have the opportunity to learn about a cutting-edge cleaning technology that is chemical-free and requires no process downtime. Esteban Soto of Altum Technologies will presentFouling Cleaning and Prevention to Increase Production Uptime in Crucial Pipelines by Using Environmentally Friendly ZPD Ultrasonic Technologyas part of PEERS’Engineering, Reliability, Corrosion & Materials (ERCM)track. During his presentation, Soto will share insights on how ZPD technology can efficiently treat and clean biofilms, biofouling, mineral scaling, and chemical fouling from pipelines. Attendees will also learn how ZPD can help mills avoid unnecessary production interruptions and maintenance stops, negate the risk of chemical residue, and keep different types of pipes free of fouling.

PEERS’ ECRM track addresses key issues and developments in engineering, reliability, corrosion and materials for the pulp and paper industry. Thirteen expert-led presentations will be held within the following sessions:

  • Pump and Pipe Reliability
  • Corrosion Control for Aggressive Environmental
  • Fixed Equipment Materials and Reliability
  • Recovery Boiler Corrosion and Reliability

PEERS 2022
PEERS, October 30 – November 2, 2022 in Providence, R.I., is considered the premier technical event focusing on the latest advances in technology, as well as fundamental process knowledge and control issues mills face each day. Its comprehensive technical program emphasizes new methods and best practices to help mills optimize operations and reach their sustainability goals. In addition toECRM, program tracks include:Energy, Recovery, Lime Kiln and Recaust (ERLR); Environmental; Pulping and Bleaching; Recycling; Sustainability;andNonwood.

With the theme,The Future of Pulp & Paper in a Changing World, PEERS provides mills and other professionals the opportunity to learn from industry experts in a presentation setting, as well as engage in peer-to-peer discussions during panel sessions and committee meetings. The Conference also offers multiple networking events, a New Technology Showcase, and an exhibit floor where attendees can speak with suppliers about the latest technologies and solutions.
