Maria Berzosa, Plant Manager at Dueñas Paper Mill said:
“We are delighted to be working with Runtech Systems, and the new equipment helps us reduce the CO2 footprint of our paper making operation in Dueñas. It contributes to DS Smith’s commitment to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 Green House Gas emissions by 46% on an absolute basis by 2030, compared to 2019 levels, and reach Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
“Together we have worked to find an optimal solution to meet operational targets and to ensure good return on investment. Replacing the liquid ring pumps will surely contribute also to the company sustainability goals, not only by decreasing energy consumption but also by eliminating the usage of seal water,” said Lari Lampila, Sales Manager, Runtech Systems.
Energy-efficient, completely water-free RunEco is an ideal vacuum solution for industrial paper machine vacuum applications. Less energy and no water contribute to lower CO2 emissions and smaller carbon footprint. EcoFlow dewatering measurement are designed to measure water flows online accurately and are not sensitive to entrained air or foaming. Measuring dewatering rate enables vacuum level optimization, resulting in maximized sheet dryness after the press section.
