Process Consulting

Kadant's process engineers have the knowledge and experience to provide you with the in-depth system audits, analysis, and recommendations required to keep your fiber processing systems running in top form. Our expertise extends far beyond the particulars of the equipment we offer. From piping configuration, pump selection, instrumentation, to control strategy and optimization planning, we have the skills needed to help you succeed. Our engineers work with the engineers and operators in your mill to transfer knowledge so optimization efforts result in a new baseline as opposed to a temporary performance peak.

In the recovery area, our process engineers can find solutions to increase evaporator capacity and recaust efficiency, decrease steam consumption and study the liquor chemistry for scaling reduction. By using detailed heat and material balances from operating data, we can pinpoint process problems, then recommend the right solutions for a high-performance operation.
