Abstract
A new methodology for screening the potential of new pulp
mill concepts as part of retrofits is presented. A
generic method for describing different capacity
constraints or bottlenecks is given. These constraints
are considered in order to illustrate the potential of
new concepts applied in different kinds of pulp mills.
The presented methodology combines the generality of
theoretical reference mills and the specific details of
case studies. Results of the study show that the
feasibility of different process concepts heavily depends
on the limiting factors of a pulp mill. The methodology
is a possible tool for scholars and experts to illustrate
where new process concepts should be implemented.
