Generating sugar streams from pulp and paper mill sludge

Domtar Espanola工厂每年生产约327，000吨ADMT（风干公吨）纸浆和69，000短吨纸，有兴趣通过将其转化为糖流来最大限度地减少工厂污泥的废物流，作为一种增值产品，可以使其产品范围多样化并提高其全球竞争力。目前，该厂每年产生约6，000 - 7，000 BDT（绝对干吨）的废污泥，通过在发电锅炉中焚烧来处理，由于污泥的高含水量，这一过程在经济上没有吸引力。利用这种工业生物质生产增值产品，

Domtar Espanola mill, which manufactures about 327,000 tons ADMT (air-dried metric tons) of pulp and 69,000 short tons of paper annually, is interested in minimizing their waste stream of mill sludge by converting it into a sugar stream as a value-added product that can diversify their product range and increase their global competitiveness. Currently, the mill disposes of their waste sludge, generated at about 6,000-7,000 BDT (bone-dry tons) per year, by incinerating it in power boilers, a process that is not economically attractive due to the high water content of the sludge. The utilization of this industrial biomass for value-added products has at
