The pulp and paper industry is known for being energy-intensive, annually emitting GHGs into the air. Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) was determined to improve production conditions with a new ventilation system. 

APP strives to improve their impact on the environment through sustainable innovations. The company set particularly high standards for the ventilation system of one of the world’s largest pulp and paper mills, OKI, built in Palembang Mill, Indonesia. 

The humid weather conditions in Indonesia set exceptionally high requirements for controlling ventilation, temperature, and humidity. For example, the air temperature in one laboratory is set to be +23°C, and the air humidity 50% with a tolerance of 1%.  

TM Systems^® offers HVAC equipment for turbine halls, boiler rooms, control rooms, electrical rooms, laboratory and special rooms.

TM Systems product: HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) for auxiliary rooms

A modular HVAC system was built as the project expanded. The main advantage of HVAC is the optimization of the supply of fresh air, that results in minimizing energy usage, as well as reducing any harmful chemicals such as sulphur oxides. 

Chilled water system network is used to distribute cool water to the facility as required. Excess air and residual heat from production is used to run the network. 

HVAC maintains the indoor temperature, relative humidity, and air pressure within desired tolerances, while chemical filters remove corrosive impurities which are harmful for electrical components, also providing ideal working conditions for personnel. 

The controlled air temperature and humidity helps to avoid condensation, as well as deterioration and corrosion of the building, machinery, and electronic devices, thus increasing their lifetime. 

TM Systems was able to provide innovative solutions with a highly competitive investment cost.
