Control of Pollution in the Pulp and Paper Industry

Emissions Trading and Profitability: The Swedish Pulp and Paper Industry

The purpose of this paper is to develop models with and without potential emissions trading and to compare industry profits under the two regimes. The model in which emissions trading is permitted is a nonparametric industry frontier model in the spirit of Färe et al. (1992). It is relative to this model that industry profit is computed. This profit is compared to the profit without emissions t...

Environmental Noise Control in the Pulp and Paper Industry

The number of external noise sources of a paper making line is typically around 80 pcs. The major ones are process and machine room ventilation and vacuum pump exhausts. The noise control targets will dictate the scope and costs of sound attenuation. Considerable cost reductions can be achieved if the noise control design starts at the early stage of a project. Additionally, depending on the no...
