Advanced Scrubber Optimisation

Anssum recognises the challenges faced by the pulp and paper industry in minimising emissions and adhering to regulatory requirements. With this in mind, we have developed our advanced Anssum Scrubber Optimiser, a solution designed to efficiently and effectively eliminate pollutants from flue gas streams.

Our solution leverages cutting-edge technology, including advanced pH control and state estimation, to optimise the scrubber process and minimise scaling. By employing sophisticated modeling techniques and real-time data analysis, we create a customised solution tailored to the specific needs of your mill. Our scrubber solution doesn’t require additional hardware, allowing for seamless implementation without the need for a shutdown.

The outcome is a highly efficient and effective scrubber system that removes pollutants from flue gas streams, reduces emissions, and ensures your mill’s compliance with regulatory requirements. At Anssum, we are dedicated to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that empower our clients to achieve their objectives.
