Abstract
Energy represents fifteen percent of paper manufacture costs. In 1989 New Thames Mills, a major UK producer of photocopying paper invited Brighton Polytechnic Control and Dynamics Research Unit to undertake a number of energy related studies. The authors detail work carried out to ascertain the extent to which quality and process parameters affect steam consumption in the dryer section of the paper machine. A number of energy reduction strategies are also proposed and discussed
