Jun 27, 2006 | Generating electrical power instead of disposal to landfill: Sipaper Reject Power extracts electrical energy and process heat from residues from paper productionWith Sipaper Reject Power, the Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) Group is now offering a solution for generating electrical energy and process heat from residues left over from paper production. This entails all waste arising in the paper production process being incinerated in a controlled, metered process. Even residues with high moisture content can be utilized: Sipaper Reject Power permits the combustion of substances with a water content of up to 50 per cent, and with the aid of supplementary firing it is even possible to use waste with a far higher moisture content. Operators of paper and board mills save on waste disposal costs while at the same time reducing their primary energy demand and the CO2 emissions from their production facilities. more |
Jun 27, 2006 | Seeing the wood for the trees at the paper mill: Sipaper DAT compresses and analyzes process dataSipaper DAT from the Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) Group is a software application designed to enable enterprises in the pulp and paper industry to prepare, display and analyze process data in an efficient way. As a result, all of the information recorded in the production lines and supporting process areas is available in compressed form at standard PC workstations. Not only that, the application allows comparisons to be made between any process and commercial parameters, and gives indications to possible connections: Previously hidden relationships thus become transparent. Sipaper DAT therefore provides the basis for taking decisions on how to optimize plant operation and assists the operator or manager in identifying and eliminating sources of error or bottlenecks. This all helps to achieve the planned production volumes and provides for consistently high product quality at optimized cost. more |

The orders consist of two circular primary clarifiers and two secondary clarifiers, as well as floating surface aerators and spray coolers for the paper company's biological wastewater treatment facility. Siemens Pakistan will provide service and maintenance. more |
May 09, 2006 | Siemens Industry Solution: Water treatment saves operating cost in the paper and pulp industryRising water prices and stricter regulations on the quality of waste water call for new solutions for companies needing water for their production. With the integration of the product range of US market leader USFilter, the Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) Group now provides optimized solutions for the paper and pulp industry. At the heart of the process, the waste water produced is treated immediately for recirculation into the production subprocess. Products and systems provided by I&S´ "Water Technologies" division enable full integration of individual processes into the production chain, covering fresh water treatment, secondary treatment and sludge treatment. This integration minimizes fresh water consumption and reduces or avoids the quantities of waste water produced. It also reduces the burden on the environment and saves cost. more |

Furthermore, our extensive and integrated portfolio adapted to suit standardized products and systems is unique to the market. In this way, we not only perceive trends in production, we set them worldwide", said Helmut Gierse, President of the Siemens Automation and Drives Group (A&D). "With our range of products for total plants and for individual stages of production we offer solutions for industry and for infrastructure development. This gives our customers the long-term secure footing and a keen competitive edge by considering all processes and procedures holistically", commented Joergen Ole Haslestad, President of the Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S). Both Groups presented their business strategies, as well as new products, solutions and services for factory and process automation, on March 9 in Frankfurt in advance of the Hanover Fair. more |
Dec 09, 2005 | Environment-friendly and fail-safe manufacturing with new automation system - Siemens modernizes boiler in Swedish paper millThe Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S) has received an order from Stora Enso to modernize the automation system of boiler 2 in Hylte Mill. Simatic PCS7 will be used as the control system. The new equipment will replace the old systems of different manufacturers. After modernization, the plant will have a uniform and all-inclusive automation system. This will facilitate operator control, increase fail-safety and make the installation more environment-friendly. Modification of the boiler is scheduled to be completed during spring 2006. more |
Jun 28, 2005 | Cost-optimized dosage of chemicals in pulp preparation with "Sipaper Bleach" - Siemens develops model-based controller for bleachingFor pulping, the Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S) has developed "Sipaper Bleach", a model-based control system for cost-optimized use of chemicals in bleaching plants. In order to achieve the targeted brightness at the lowest possible cost, the controller only needs the latest measured values for the brightness before and after the bleaching plant as well as information on the throughput and filling level in the bleaching tower. On the basis of models of the bleaching process over time and of the bleaching characteristic of varying amounts of chemicals, Sipaper Bleach determines the least expensive dosage for the respective operating level. An integrated adaptation function ensures the real-time addition of extra dosages of chemicals, for example when process parameters or the quality of the raw material change. A pilot installation used by Gebr. Lang GmbH Papierfabrik in its waste-paper processing plant has now become a permanent feature of the product process. more |
Jun 28, 2005 | Optimizing the water circuit with "Sipaper Water" - Siemens supplies water treatment solutions for the pulp and paper industryThe comprehensive "Sipaper Water" range of solutions from Siemens is intended for water circuits in production facilities - from freshwater purification to sludge treatment. It can be used for evaluating existing facilities, designing the relevant processes and constructing new plants and can also be integrated in the manufacturing process. On the basis of the range of products offered by Siemens Water Technologies or third-party suppliers, modular optimized solutions can be developed for every step in the process, for example in the treatment of materials or in paper production. The amount of freshwater used can thus be reduced and disposal costs can also be lowered. more |
