The Algas Microfilter provides potential savings in a wide variety of areas:

SAVING WATER – through efficient re-use, reduces abstraction rates and hydralic loading in the waste water treatment plant making savings there and reducing charges on the final discharge.

SAVING ENERGY – by re-using warm clarified water to replace cold fresh water on showers, pump sealing and other re-use areas. This can increase the temperature of the papermaking process system, improving drainage on the wire and sheet temperature into the dryers, a big area for energy savings.

RAW MATERIAL SAVINGS – from white water not only saves good fibre for reuse but reduces the solids loading to the effluent plant and in turn the handling and transportation of effluent sludge.

SAVING POWER – by saving raw materials also retains the power that has already been used to transport, pulp, pump, clean and refine the material, rather than lose it all to effluent.

SAVING CHEMICALS – in the raw materials recycled as well as those used in the effluent plant and to thicken effluent sludge which in any case should be saved as fibre rather than dumped as sludge.

SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT – We all should know what that means.

Investing in an Algas Microfilter provides huge potential cost savings, saves the environment and has a minimal payback time!
