Environmental Impact Reduction
Anssum is committed to protecting the environment and supporting sustainable development. We partner with companies to help them minimise their environmental impact and address their immediate communities concerns.
Our goal is to reduce environmental impact without increasing production costs or reducing production throughput. To achieve this, we take a mill-wide approach, optimising not only specific equipment and processes but also considering their impact on other equipment and processes when developing our solutions.
For example, we have helped companies reduce the burning of fossil fuels more than 0.3% while increasing steam production, reduced sulphur consumption by 55% (or 1.5 kg sulfur per kg of wood cooked), and increased the pulp yield from wood by more than 1.5%. We work closely with each client to develop customised solutions that meet their specific needs.

Case study
At Anssum, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that help our clients achieve higher efficiency and reduce costs. In a recent case study, we partnered with a leading pulp and paper mill to implement our Environmental Impact Reduction solution. The results of the study were impressive, with the following key outcomes:
Specific sulfur consumption
Decreased by 50%
Net sulfur consumption
Decreased by 55%
This environmental impact reduction solution is just one example of how Anssum solutions can help your business increase efficiencies, reduce costs, and reduce its environmental footprint.
Is this approach and solutions for your mill?
Our Environmental Impact Reduction solution will be valuable to your operation if:
- Rising raw materials costs.
