Water treatment solutions for pulp and paper operations. Manage high COD, fibre, lignin, and colour from pulping, bleaching, and papermaking processes.
Comprehensive effluent solutions for kraft mills, TMP plants, deinking facilities and paper machines
Pulp and paper mills generate large-volume wastewater with high organic content (BOD 500-3,000 mg/L), suspended solids, colour, and in some cases adsorbable organic halogens (AOX) from bleaching processes. Reynolds & Bauhm provides integrated treatment solutions that address these specific challenges while enabling water recycling and fibre recovery to improve mill feasibility.
Our treatment approach varies by mill type. Kraft mills benefit from anaerobic pre-treatment for high-strength condensates followed by aerobic polishing. TMP and groundwood facilities need efficient suspended solids removal. Deinking plants require special handling of stickies and ink solids. We design each system around your specific fibre line, water balance, and discharge requirements.
