United Kingdom
| Technique | Applicability | |
|---|---|---|
| a | Use of energy efficient refiners | Applicable when replacing, rebuilding or upgrading process equipment |
| b | Extensive recovery of secondary heat from TMP and CTMP refiners and reuse of recovered steam in paper or pulp drying | Generally applicable |
| c | Minimisation of fibre losses by using efficient reject refining systems (secondary refiners) | |
| d | Installation of energy saving equipment, including automated process control instead of manual systems | |
| e | Reduction of fresh water use by internal process water treatment and recirculation systems | |
| f | Reduction of the direct use of steam by careful process integration using e.g. pinch analysis |
