Widespread use of LPG in the paper industry
The paper industry is characterized by high heat demand, and the method of heat generation affects both efficiency and the final cost of production. Pulp mills use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for heaters that remove moisture from the paper pulp and dry the surface of paper sheets as they are coated with ink. A mobile energy source is also useful during the printing process, for drying pulp and paper stock, and for radiant heating of paper. LPG is not only a reliable, economical fuel but also a more environmentally friendly alternative to other energy sources. It therefore allows for both a reduction in production costs and a decrease in environmental emissions.
Optimization of utility systems in the paper industry
In a world where nearly 40% of felled trees are used for paper production, recycling is the only environmentally friendly solution. However, the recycling process also requires a suitable energy source, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in tanks — a solid fuel essential for steam and condensate systems. Unlike other energy sources, liquefied petroleum gas does not result in the generation of large energy surpluses, which are very difficult to utilize economically.
Key benefits of using leased gas installation:
- High-quality gas and cost-effectiveness compared to electricity
- Free maintenance and a 24-hour emergency hotline with prompt service response
- Extended service life of radiators and burners
- Consistent and timely deliveries
- Fixed Price Hedge - AmeriGas allows you to sign a fixed-term contract with a price guarantee, enabling precise estimation of production costs
