Pulp & Paper Facilities Operate in Corrosive Conditions
Pulp and paper operations combine continuous heat, moisture, corrosion, and confined-space challenges.
Operating Conditions That Define Pulp & Paper Facilities
Pulp and paper manufacturing environments present unique operational challenges that demand specialized construction expertise and proven execution strategies.
Extreme Operating Temperatures
Rotary kilns and calcining equipment operate continuously at temperatures exceeding 2,000°F, creating extreme thermal stress on refractory systems.
High Moisture Exposure
Constant water and steam contact throughout processing areas creates persistent moisture challenges that accelerate material degradation.
Chemical Environments
Pulping chemicals, bleaching agents, and processing byproducts create aggressive corrosive conditions requiring specialized protection systems.
Confined Spaces
Digesters, storage tanks, and process vessels present confined-space work challenges requiring specialized safety protocols and equipment.
Continuous Operations
24/7 production schedules demand maintenance and repair work that minimizes downtime and integrates with operational constraints.
