The profit potential of pulp & paper flexibility
Energy flexibility is an untapped revenue stream in the pulp and paper industry. Energy-intensive processes like wastewater treatment can be optimised to minimise costs and generate major profits through flexibility.
Sympower helps you pinpoint the best times to activate, select ideal markets, and streamline your wastewater processes, ensuring maximum earnings and minimal disruptions.
Sympower puts your energy to work
We connect
We work with you to identify the most flexible equipment in your facility and connect it to our system.
We adjust
We monetise your equipment on balancing markets, either decreasing or increasing consumption on pre-agreed times.
You earn
Every time you contribute your energy, you earn money based on the capacity of energy you provide, or for the time your equipment is activated.
Flexibility in the pulp & paper industry
-
BESS can be charged and discharged to meet grid demands, while other equipment stays operational. It can also handle the site’s peaks of energy usage.
-
While HVAC systems optimise temperature, they can also be adjusted to decrease or increase energy usage when needed to.
-
The speed in which e-boilers can respond to control signals and the ability to adjust their power usage, makes them highly flexible.
-
Air compressor operation can be optimised to align with fluctuations in grid demand, without disrupting plant processes. If needed the system's compressed-air storage is utilised.
-
During periods of high demand, crushing equipment can be remotely managed to adjust speed and operation without affecting core production operations.
-
Adjusting dryer operation based on grid demands, can reduce energy usage during peak periods, without affecting production.
