Integrated process control and software solutions delivering enhanced mill performance and production consistency.
In the highly competitive pulp and paper industry, top performers have discovered ways to increase production and quality while minimizing costs. For decades, Emerson’s experts have guided many companies down the path to operational excellence, reducing energy and chemical use, production downtime, and process variability.
Leveraging DeltaV™ technologies, application technology packages, integrated asset management, lifecycle support, and our energized team of Emerson experts, you can reduce process variability, improve reliability, reduce energy consumption, and boost yields while minimizing overall project risk.
Without great measurement and visibility into your mill operation, process variability might cause your mill to experience poor runability, sheet breaks, and lost profitability. Also, personnel may be estimating critical data points that lead to inconsistent product quality and production. One solution is leveraging DeltaV SmartProcess Cook application which controls the process to optimize the kappa number — helping to eliminate the guesswork and correctly adjust parameters of the process.
With more than 6,000 transitions to DeltaV from all types of legacy systems, Emerson has the experience to lead you in the transition to a modern mill transformation. We have established processes and people that can help assess the state of your automation, quantify operational benefits, justify, plan, and execute your project. With over 5,000 project resources worldwide, your project can be executed flawlessly, on schedule, with minimum production impact.
Having a proactive reliability management strategy is the secret against declining operational performance, while improving process availability and lowering operating costs. By leveraging Plantweb Optics, you get real-time automated data collection from assets within the mill funneled into diagnostics and analytics platforms to help visualize, analyze, and predict performance. With this actionable data, plant service and maintenance are seamless with CMMS integrations and workflows – making it easy to stay on top of asset health and becoming proactive instead of reactive.
DeltaV Version 14 (v14) gives you a new level of confidence and protection from cybersecurity threats by being one of the only systems to have a top-to-bottom cybersecurity certification. DeltaV v14 is certified ISASecure SSA Level 1 and IEC 62443 compliant, demonstrating validation by an accredited third party that Emerson developers are trained to write secure code and the system as a whole is hardened against emerging cyber threats.
Easy integration of DeltaV systems and data means systems can operate from the current data set. DeltaV technology helps you leverage common automation building blocks in every stage for easy tech transfer and ease of integrating and managing information. The DeltaV PK Controller can grow from small to large systems and can handle I/O flexibly so that as the needs change, the system can change with them.

Case Study
Kiln operations like those at Canfor are subject to interaction among control loops, which can be the cause of less-than-optimal operating conditions
Case Study
The de-inking section of the Stora Enso Ghent mill is monitored and controlled from a central control room. Operators stationed in front of operator screens perform a range of monitoring and control tasks, reacting to alerts and alarms, running tests, and doing routine procedures. They are supported by staff stationed on the mill floor performing tasks including cleaning equipment, doing maintenance, handling jams, and supporting production starts/stops.
Solutions for Top Quartile Performance in the areas of safety, reliability, production and energy management.
