Capacity forecast 2014-2016
© PulpEye - 2013
We estimate that during 2014-2016 with all planned and/or ongoing projects, South Americas overall capacity will reach;
• Market pulp increase: + 7,600,000 25,620,000 tons
(18,020,000)
• Integrated paper products increase: ? (9,742,000)
• Market pulp + integrated paper products 35,362,000
tons
• Total amount of mills: + 3 -> 80 (77)
• The result divided with 80 mills 442,025 tons/year in
average.

- benefits and advantages
In 2012, the consumption of recycled paper at CMPC’s paper mills totalled 739,000 tonnes,
with an average annual increase of 3.9% from 2004 to 2012, due to growth in tissue paper
products and corrugated paper. This figure means that approximately 43% of CMPC’s total
paper production in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Uruguay, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil, was based
on recycled fibres.
Both the recycled and virgin fibres from forest plantations complement each other in
papermaking; when paper is recycled the fibres lifetime becomes longer, thus leading to a
better use of the forestry resources
Since the recurrent recycling processes cause the fibres to deteriorate, hence the need to
incorporate virgin fibres into the paper production process, thus showing the complementary
nature of both fibres.
Thanks to Brazils favorable climate, Eucalyptus can be harvested in only 7 years for pulp
making – when it reaches 35 meters in height. In Uruguay, the time period is nearly 9 years.
. In Sappi’s plantations, eucalypts are generally harvested at 10 years while pines are
harvested at 18 years
Brazil's plantations have world-record rates of growth, typically over 40 cubic metres per
hectare per year, and commercial harvesting occurs after years 5. Due to continual
development and governmental funding, year-on-year growth is consistently being
improved. Eucalyptus can produce up to 100 cubic metres per hectare per year.

With the support of the VINNOVA program Forska & Väx (Research & Grow),
Innventia and PulpEye are implementing a on-line crill sensor for pulp and paper
mills.

Why measure crill?
The measurements of the amount of crill generated when pulps are refined will be
used to understand when strength is developed and/or energy consumption can
be reduced.

Sundsvall 2010
Measurement of a ratio of two surface areas
A = area of fibres
B = area of fibres and crill
Measured variable: Crill fibre ratio = B / A
Measurement principle
The measurement of crill, performed
with the Innventia OptoCrill, is based
on comparison of two optically
measured surface areas.
Crill measurements, Thorulf Pettersson,
Sundsvall 2010
These two surface areas are
measured by using light of different
wavelengths. No image analysis is
performed.
