Division BAT 46 BAT is to reduce electrical energy consumption within RCF processing paper mills by using a combination of the techniques given below.
United Kingdom
| Technique | Applicability | |
|---|---|---|
| a | High consistency pulping for disintegrating paper for recycling into separated fibres | Generally applicable for new plants and for existing plants in the case of a major refurbishment |
| b | Efficient coarse and fine screening by optimising rotor design, screens and screen operation, which allows the use of smaller equipment with lower specific energy consumption | |
| c | Energy saving stock preparation concepts extracting impurities as early as possible in the re-pulping process, using fewer and optimised machine components, thus restricting the energy intensive processing of the fibres |
