The Pulping, Engineering, Environmental, Recycling and Sustainability (PEERS) Conference, taking place October 28-31, 2018 in Portland, Ore.,USA, will offer eight program tracks focused on operations and maintenance throughout pulp mills. 

In the Engineering, Power & Recovery, Recaust & Lime Kiln track, you and your team will have the opportunity to gain key process knowledge and understand practical applications, from process simulations to bi-product processing, that will help improve optimization and drive economic success. 

Sessions will be focused on:

• Lime Kiln Refractories
• Combustion & Emission
• Managing Mill Processes
• Improved Kiln Operation & Efficiency
• Bi-Product Sustainability
• Improving Operations Through Simulations
• Energy Optimization

With four panel discussions on:

• Automation
• Evaporator
• Project Management
• Refractory Installation.

After completing this track, attendees will be able to:

• Define what are non-process elements and the means to remove these from mill processes
• Describe the mechanism that contributes to carbonate scaling in green liquor scaling and devise the means to minimize its impact on the process
• Describe the effects of firing black liquor droplet size on recovery operations and evaluate the use of steam injection on droplet size of firing black liquor at their mill
• Explain the sticky behavior of bio-sludge and how it impacts the mill process
• Recite the common faults in Kraft Recovery Boiler, as determined by statistical analysis
• Evaluate and manage evaporator fouling to derive means to improve efficiency
• Describe the benefits of CFD modeling on kiln operations and how it has influence kiln design
• Assess the use of wood powder on kiln operations
• Apply new data for alignment of kiln for greater accuracy
• Realize the value of low pressure steam for paper mill power plant optimization
• Describe strategies for use of warm and hot water in kraft pulping.
