In the Pulp&Paper industry a lot of effort is put into to water saving and closing water circuits, also reducing substantially the environmental impact, both by process modelling and Kidney technologies as internal process water treatment. However a number of problems around the removal of substances are not solved yet and further closing of the water cycle causes other problems. Challenges for water re-use in the Pulp&Paper industry are the following: - The elimination of residual (soluble) COD and BOD which can both affect the production process and the paper quality; - The removal of sticky solids and suspended solids, which can induce plugging of pipes and showers, deposit formation, abrasion, loss of tensile strength; - The treatment of concentrate streams containing calcium, sulphate, chloride and organics which can lead to salt accumulation in case of water loop closure, corrosion, scaling of pipes and showers in the paper production process. The removal of calcium carbonate is crucial in the last case. Therefore there is a need to find new and reliable (combinations of) technologies to solve this challenges to achieve the water quality target for water re-use and which are tailored to suit product demands and standards. The work described in this report concerned the laboratory and preliminary work for the implementation of pilot trials on two industrial paper mills. The emphasis was on different technologies as part of a global treatment line to solve the above challenges. On the basis of waste water characterization and the defined water quality requirements for paper mills, new treatment lines were defined to reach the water quality target including effectiveness, reliability and minimization in waste and concentrate production. These new treatment lines are focused on internal recycling. The emphasis was on different key steps of the global treatment train: - Biological treatment: anaerobic processes and MBR; - Filtration processes: 3FM high speed technology and nanofiltration; - Tertiary treatments to reduce hard COD: AOPs, coagulation/precipitation; - Integration of processes (evapoconcentration, electrodialysis and softening) in the treatment line: o To treat the concentrate streams containing calcium, sulphate, chloride, organics; o To minimize the waste production and enhance internal recycling. Technologies were tested at lab scale on the waste waters from 3 different paper mills: • Paper mill 1 (PM1), producing corrugated board and board; • Paper mill 2 (PM2), producing high quality coated and uncoated board from recycled paper; • Paper mill 3 (PM3), producing standard newsprint, improved newsprint (higher brightness) and light weight coated paper (for magazines). On basis of the obtained results, the best treatment combinations to be implemented and tested at pilot scale within WP5.1.4 were selected as summarized below for each type of paper mill: New technologies or innovative treatment lines for reliable water treatment for P&P and minimization of waste production VEO,PTS, ENV, UCM, HOL, WED, January 2012 Page | 3 a) Corrugated board paper mills (PM1 and PM2) Most important findings are: • Stable MBR operation is not possible at calcium concentrations > 400 mg/l due to scaling problems. Softening upstream of the MBR is than absolutely necessary. Trials with a lime softening stage showed a removal of 50 – 80 % of the Ca 2+ concentration in the feed (600 – 1000 mg/l). • Ozone trials with pre-filtered final effluent of both mills led to a COD reduction by about 20- 25%. Economical viable specific ozone dosages of 0.25 to 0.7 g O 3 /g COD 0 have been used. Overall it is more costly and complex to achieve COD levels below ~50 mg/l. The increased BOD 5 shows that a subsequent biological treatment can be promising for further COD reduction. The water can be reused in the production process, especially because the water after ozone treatment is visibly colour-free. Possible reuse processes are showers at the paper machine were it can be used instead of fresh water. Calcium concentrations may be a limiting factor for reuse. • NF membranes with high retention capacity for monovalent ions (Dow Filmtec NF 90 and Koch TFC ULP) are able to fulfil quality requirements for white grade paper reclamation water (for PM1 and PM2). • Intensive pre-treatment or conditioning is needed to obtain steady NF membrane performance and high recovery rates due to the high scaling tendency (membrane blocking) of aerobic effluents of both PMs. Reduction of pH to around pH 6.5 (HCl) and dosing of anti-scalant was necessary to achieve recovery rates of 80%. Softening of wastewater allowed higher recovery up to 93% and lower chemical consumption for conditioning (no-use of hydrochloric acid). In this view, the Multiflo TM softening technology (lime softening) is well adapted to remove calcium carbonate. Long term stability of membrane treatment (plateau formation, high system recovery) needs to be evaluated on pilot scale continuously. • 3FM technology showed good performances at lab scale regarding TSS removal and turbidity reduction. These have to be confirmed at pilot scale. Most important findings concerning the treatment of concentrates of PM1 and PM2 are: • Evapoconcentration proved to be an adapted technology to treat NF concentrates in terms of production of a colourless water with a quality fulfilling the water quality criteria of both paper mills for re-use and to reduce the final volume of concentrates: o Reduction of wastes as a global volumic concentration factor VCF up to 50 for combined “NF+evapoconcentration” could be obtained at lab scale for PM2 and 25 for PM1. These global VCFs should be increased at industrial scale to 60 without NF membrane pre-treatment and up to 250 with 3FM/softening as pre-treatment provided conversion rate on NF process and pre-treatment processes are the same at pilot scale. Then the addition of evapoconcentration would lead to a final concentrate to be disposed off representing respectively 1.7% to 0.4% in the last case in volume of the waste water treated by the global treatment line. o Pre-treatments before NF process have a positive impact on the global VCF which could be reached at industrial scale leading to a very substantial reduction of the volume of final waste to be disposed off down to 0.4% in the case of 3FM combined with softening as pre-treatment.

To reduce chloride intake to the wastewater, softening before membrane processes is preferable to acidification with HCl. • Re-injection of NF concentrates has a negative impact on anaerobic degradation rate in pellet sludge reactors. Based on these results, following treatment trains have been selected to be tested on site at pilot scale within WP5.1.4: Impact of reinjection??? Water to be re-used ?

Despite this, colour removal was higher than 95% and COD removals vary between 20 to 40%. In addition, AOPs processes improve biodegradability of the treated effluent. • Anaerobic pre-treatment showed very good performance treating a low organic load wastewater as the effluent of a 100% recycled NP/LWC paper mill, and assisting the aerobic stage on removing organics and sulphates; besides it produced enough biogas for being considered as cost-effective. • The biological treatments studied in the two pilot plants achieved a final COD, BOD 5 and sulphates removal of 80-85%, 95-99% and 25-35%, respectively. Wastewater quality after biological treatment resulted suitable to further perform a posterior membrane treatment New technologies or innovative treatment lines for reliable water treatment for P&P and minimization of waste production VEO,PTS, ENV, UCM, HOL, WED, January 2012 Page | 5 • Membrane treatment by UF + RO is able to generate permeates of high water quality, fulfilling all the requirements for being used in critical points of the paper machine that require a very high water quality. • 3FM filtration followed by acidification seemed to have a positive effect on membrane treatment. A higher recovery rate was obtained and permeate with a very good quality was obtained. These results would have to be confirmed at pilot scale as the RO process was performed on a membrane test cell. Most important findings derived from the application of evapoconcentration, coagulation / softening / flocculation treatment and AOPs to the treatment of RO concentrates from PM3 are: • Evapoconcentration proved to be an adapted technology to treat membrane concentrates of both tested treatment trains (Anaerobic  Aerobic  3FM  RO and Anaerobic  MBR  RO). In both cases the produced water (final VCF = 11.5-11.7) has a very good quality respecting all PM3 requirements for re-use as fresh water. Considering the VCF of the RO step, the addition of evapoconcentration would then lead to a final waste to be disposed off representing respectively 2.8% and 7% in volume of the waste water treated by the global treatment line. • Coagulation eliminated more than 95% of coloured compounds with a high level of resonance (A 500 ), however, high coagulant doses were needed, making the process economically unfeasible. Besides, PACl addition by itself increases conductivity. • Lime-softening was a good alternative to reduce conductivity. Organic matter was adsorbed on Mg(OH) 2 and CaCO 3 surface and, thus, additionally removed in the precipitation process. • Coagulating water with 2500 mg/L of PACl1 in the presence of lime and a PAM produces a 60% COD removal, independently of the pH and the dosage. • Fenton and photo-Fenton processes were optimised by response surface methodology. Low pH and high [H 2 O 2 ] were optimum conditions for both methods. Low ferrous ion concentration might achieve good COD removals with photo-Fenton process and Fenton process need higher ferrous ion concentrations. More than 50% of COD removal may be obtained at neutral pH. • AOPs led to a high removal of COD at laboratory scale. Photo-Fenton obtained the best COD removal (99%) followed by Fenton (90%) processes in comparison to the 40% achieved by ozone processes. • Photocatalysis at laboratory scale did not obtain so high COD and TOC removals from RO reject, but the combination of photocatalysis treatment (10 g/L of TiO 2 ) with biological treatments got a total removal of COD from the wastewater.

The research objectives of AquaFit4Use are the development of new, reliable cost-effective technologies, tools and methods for sustainable water supply use and discharge in the main water using industries in Europe in order to reduce fresh water needs, mitigate environmental impact, produce and use water of a quality in accordance with the industries specifications (fit-for-use), leading to a further closure of water cycle. This report corresponds to the Task 3.1.1 “Evaluation of tailor-made water treatment concepts for different water qualities, sustainable water reuse and more reliable technologies connected with Pulp&Paper” of WP3.1 in SP3. For more information on AquaFit4Use, please visit the project website: www.aquafit4use.eu. In the Pulp&Paper industry a lot of effort is used to water saving and closing water circuits, and to reducing substantially the environmental impact, also by process modelling and Kidney technologies as internal process water treatment. However a number of problems around the removal of substances are not solved yet and further closing of the water cycle causes other problems. Challenges for water re-use in the Pulp&Paper industry are the following (Negro et al. 1995): - The elimination of residual (soluble) COD and BOD which can both affect the production process and the paper quality; - The removal of sticky solids and suspended solids, which can induce plugging of pipes and showers, deposit formation, abrasion, loss of tensile strength; - The treatment of concentrate streams containing calcium, sulphate chloride organics which can lead to salt accumulation in case of case of water loop closure, corrosion, scaling of pipes and showers in the paper production process. The removal of calcium carbonate is crucial in the last case. Therefore there is a need to find new and reliable (combinations of) technologies to solve this challenges to achieve the water quality target for water re-use and which are tailored to suit product demands and standards. The work described in this report concerned the laboratory and preliminary work for the implementation of pilot trials on two industrial paper mills. Focus was done on different technologies as part of a global treatment line to solve the above challenges. Comparison was done to select the best treatment combinations to be implemented at pilot scale. 1.1 State of the art 1.1.1 Waste water treatment in Paper industry (Jung and Pauly, 2011) 1.1.1.1 Preliminary mechanical treatment - Mechanical processes for solids removal Effluents from pulp and paper mills contain solids and dissolved matter. Principal methods used to remove solids from pulp and paper mills effluents are screening, settling/clarification and flotation. The method chosen depends on the characteristics of the solid matter to be removed and the requirements placed on the purity of the treated water. New technologies or innovative treatment lines for reliable water treatment for P&P and minimization of waste production VEO,PTS, ENV, UCM, HOL, WED, January 2012 Page | 10 The separation of solids from the effluents is accomplished with help of screens, grid chambers and settling tanks. Screens are units which operate according to the sieving/filtration process. The function of the screens is to remove coarse, bulky and fibrous components from the effluents. If necessary, fractionated particle separation can be achieved by graduating the gap width (bar screen, fine screen, inlet screen, ultra-fine screen). For reasons of operating reliability of waste water treatment plants, it is also necessary to separate the grit transported with the effluents and other mineral materials from the degradable organic material. Grit separation from effluents can prevent operational troubles such as grit sedimentation, increased wear and clogging. The grit separating systems currently in use are subdivided into longitudinal grit traps, circular grit traps and vortex grit traps, depending on their design and process layout. Sedimentation technology is the simplest and most economical method of separating solid substances from the liquid phase. High efficiency is achieved in subsequent effluent treatment processes when the solid substances suspended in the effluents settle in a sedimentation tank as completely as possible, and settled sludge is removed from the sedimentation tank. Sedimentation tanks must be appropriately designed and operated. Alternative sedimentation equipment with sets of lamella-shaped passages, are employed in the paper industry, especially for effluents with high fibre concentrations. Mechanical effluent treatment alone, however, is not sufficient to keep lakes and rivers clean, since it is incapable of removing colloidal suspended and dissolved substances. 1.1.1.2 Biological treatment Biological waste water treatment is designed to degrade pollutants dissolved in effluents by the action of micro-organisms. The micro-organisms utilize these substances to live and reproduce. Pollutants are used as nutrients. Prerequisite for such degradation activity, however, is that the pollutants are soluble in water and non-toxic. Degradation process can take place either in the presence of oxygen (aerobic treatment) or in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic treatment). Both naturally occurring principles of effluent treatment principles give rise to fundamental differences in the technical and economic processes involved (Table 1). Table 1: Advantages and disadvantages of anaerobic and aerobic waste water treatment (Chernicharo, 2007) Anaerobic treatment Aerobic treatment Usually needed COD > 1000 mg/l High amount of excess sludge Tolerance of high organic loads High energy demand Low production of excess sludge 3 to 5 times less than in aerobic processes Higher tolerance to toxic substances Energy generation by use of biogas High required space Low energy demand Fully biological degradation Low required space Higher tolerance to variations in the effluent Sensitive against high sulphate and calcium concentrations No fully biological degradation [...]... bioreactor performance Separation and thickening of the recirculated sludge is crucial for sludge volumes in biological treatment and also for the potential sludge loading Correct dimensioning of secondary clarification is therefore of maximum importance for overall plant performance Page | 12 New technologies or innovative treatment lines for reliable water treatment for P&P and minimization of waste. .. the need for a tailored concentrate treatment, which will also be assessed during pilot trials in this project Page | 20 New technologies or innovative treatment lines for reliable water treatment for P&P and minimization of waste production VEO,PTS, ENV, UCM, HOL, WED, January 2012 1.1.2.5 Ozone/AOP technologies Today Ozone and UV are well known and proven in the field of water and waste water treatment. .. perspective of a re-use of the wastewater: the recycling of water can indeed induce salt accumulation and thus scaling issues Page | 29 New technologies or innovative treatment lines for reliable water treatment for P&P and minimization of waste production VEO,PTS, ENV, UCM, HOL, WED, January 2012 Generally, the physicochemical treatment of wastewater from industrial operations (softening, acid waste neutralization...
