Responsible person
- Kirsi Hovikorpi
Objective
After completing this course, you are able to
* describe the basic processes of pulp and paper industries
* give significant energy producers and consumers in pulp and paper mills
* explain the production mechanisms of additional bioproducts coming from waste or subproducts
* analyze the factors affecting the energy efficiency of production
* analyze the role of Finland in bioenergy production
Content
How do we produce paper and board using paper and board machines, and in pulp mills pulp and energy?
Which subprocesses in pulp and paper mills do produce plenty of heat and where is this heat used?
Which interesting substances do they get from waste ans subproducts, and how do they get new bioproducts?
How are we able to improve the energy efficiency of production by improving machinery and automation?
How do they take into account the environmental impacts in pulp and paper industries?

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät
Työviikkopohjainen oppimisväylä:
Opintojakson suoritettuasi osaat
* kuvata massa- ja paperiteollisuuden perusprosessien toiminnan
* luetella merkittävimmät energian tuottajat ja kuluttajat sellu- ja paperitehtaassa
* selostaa täydentävien biotuotteiden tuotantomekanismit sivuvirroista
* analysoida tuotannon energiatehokkuuteen vaikuttavia tekijöitä
* analysoida metsäteollisuuden roolia Suomen bioenergian tuotannossa.
Miten paperi- ja kartonkikoneilla saadaan tuotetuksi paperia tai kartonkia sekä sellutehtaassa sellua ja energiaa?
Missä sellutehtaan ja paperitehtaan osaprosesseissa tuotetaan runsaasti lämpöä ja missä sitä kulutetaan?
Mitä kiinnostavia aineita saadaan tuotannon sivuvirroista ja miten niistä saadaan uusia biotuotteita?
Miten energiatehokkuutta voidaan parantaa kone- ja automaatioteknisin menetelmin?
Miten massa- ja paperiteollisuudessa otetaan huomioon tuotannon ympäristövaikutukset?
