At the beginning of the year, Norske Skog announced plans for a significant investment in a new TMP (thermomechanical pulping) line at the Skogn mill.

A TMP line, in simple terms, consists of several refiners that turn wood chips into wood fibres using pressure and energy. After the wood fibres have been diluted with water and washed, they are ready to be stored in towers before they go to the paper machine and become high-quality newsprint paper.

The new TMP line replaces recycled fibres. The availability of recycled fibres has declined in recent years while procurement and transportation costs have increased.

The pulp and paper industry has long used variable speed drives (VSDs) to achieve greater energy efficiency and precise motor control. However, some places within a mill present challenges for air-cooled VSDs.

In some cases, especially in older mills, dust regularly clogs the air intakes, or corrosive gas damages them. In others, the heat given off by the drive during operation is undesirable.  Meanwhile, the larger footprint of an air-cooled VSD may be an issue for facilities with limited floor space.
