Cellulose mills today can be built environmentally safe whereby the greatest portion of polluting substances is collected and converted into energy. How much energy can be produced and used instead of costly purchased energy or fuel depends on the specific energy consumption in the cellulose production itself as well as in the auxiliary process steps. The specific energy consumption in the production is depending on optimum heat transfer which is strongly affected by scale formation especially in the evaporator system. Modern chemical anti-scalants added in small amounts to the pulping or spent liquor can eliminate or greatly reduce scale formation and, through this, help to improve the overall energy balance of cellulose or integrated pulp and paper mills.
