MSc Studentship: Forestry and Forest Products 2011, Africa

Phd Mechanical Engineering The purpose of the Center is to conduct research and develop competence in the field of solid wood, pulp and paper manufacturing in South Africa.

Objectives Details:

Phd Mechanical Engineering One objective of the project address energy and environmental problems associated with the operation of kraft pulp industry. Improvements in kraft pulping delignification rate can produce significant savings in time stripping, chemicals and energy used. Reduction of pulping time contributing to increased throughput and savings in pulping digester energy provide economic benefits. Reducing energy consumption during pulping implies that less coal or fuel oil to be fired in the boiler so that the strength of the greenhouse gas emissions are lower. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
