Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this report is to carry out the Finnish contribution to the exchange of information in the Council Directive 96/61/EC concerning Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control, article 16, and to the preparation of the Reference Document of the European Commission on the Best Available Techniques for Pulp and Paper Industry.
In the report, the manufacturing of pulp, paper and board grades which are most important for the Finnish pulp and paper industry are discussed taking into account production capasities, the used process technologies and their effects on the discharges and emissions, solid waste generation and consumption of raw material and energy.
The general description of Finnish pulp and paper industry is supplemented with more detailed descriptions of six Finnish pulp and paper mills representing different types of products and production set-ups. The process technology of a new kraft pulp mill which started in the spring of 1996 is also described.
