dc.description.abstractThis paper reports on various energy conservation programs which have recently been implemented in the pulp and paper industry. A number of specific energy conservation measures are described. Also, applications of computers in the effort to conserve energy in this industry are described. In recent years there have appeared a number of computer simulation studies directed toward energy conservation in the paper industry. Host of these studies have been based upon the GEMS (Generalized Energy and Material Balance Simulator) system. The capabilities and availability of this system are described. Computer control is also a valuable aid in implementing energy conservation measures. Computer control is now common practice in paper mills and a recent survey indicated an average return on investment of 59% net after taxes for all types of pulp and paper mill systems. More recently, minicomputers and microprocessors have become valuable aids in paper quality testing laboratories.en
