Discover typical use cases where our customers make profits without investments
Fastest profits without investments
Every mill is an individual. Every process has its own unique characteristics. However, with the experience of dozens of mills, some basic rules seem to apply everywhere.
Below some typical use cases that lead to immediate savings without any investments.
Clean-up of heat exchangers. HeatHamster collects data from the performance of your heat exchangers. When the heat transfer starts performing poorly, we will start seeing red.
Predictive maintenance means that you plan action before the situation gets bad. Before the clean-up, HeatHamster estimates your potential savings. After the clean-up, it shows the actual results.
The key to success is performing the clean-up properly. There’s a crucial difference between cleaned and clean heat exchangers. This is where our expert partners can help.
Machine Heat Recovery. The heat recovery system of paper, board and drying machines is one of our favorite places to start. Regardless of your production volume, you can expect 200,000 - 500,000 EUR in annual savings. Sometimes more.
Everybody knows the basic mechanisms. Adjust the circulation of air, water and glycol to maximize heat recovery in the towers. Set automation curves. Control with data.
Yet we haven’t seen a single machine without room for improvement. And here’s the thing. It’s about gaining the trust of the machine operators. And showing them the value of their work.
Evaporators. Whether you are running a 100 MW evaporator system in a pulp mill or a 10 MW BCTMP, you are using lots of expensive steam in the process. Each evaporator unit fouls in a different way at different times. The performance of one unit affects the next. This is how you start wasting energy.
It’s about learning the sequence and being able to predict which unit requires maintenance next. A simple calendar view shows your operators which unit to maintain and when.
Choosing the right chemicals is key to success. This is something where our partners are happy to help.
Please meet Hattie Hamster. Hattie is our AI team member who has an incredible ability to learn from all the measurement data, task list notes, time series of actions and the economic impacts that different actions had.
Hattie is currently working with a couple of our pilot customers. Hattie is learning how to utilize all this data to help pulp & paper companies achieve their energy, emission and sustainability goals. Not only within individual mills, but also across business units and at group level.
Would you like to meet Hattie? And see what she has learned so far? Maybe even explain Hattie some of your challenges?
