Process Water for Paper Industry

Project Overview


Client: petrochemical

Location: Middle east

Year of Commissioning: 2015

Application: Treated water for paper production

Capacity: 900 m³/day


Project Background

The paper production facility required high-quality process water. The feedwater, drawn from a nearby lake, contained seasonal biological and organic compounds due to algal blooms and runoff.


Engineering Solution

The system was designed to manage biological variability and included:

Clarifier

Lamella separator

Sand filtration

Activated carbon

Reverse osmosis (RO)

Coagulant removal


Design was supported by a European technology partner, ensuring effective treatment and minimal footprint.


Operational Results

The system has delivered stable water quality for paper production, adapting to seasonal changes in feedwater composition


Regional Impact

The project supported sustainable paper manufacturing and reduced environmental stress on the lake ecosystem.
