ANDRITZ Advanced Process Control helps pulp and paper producers reduce process variability, improve efficiency and achieve measurable operational results.

Advanced process optimization built around your operational goals

Pulp and paper mills need to maintain stable operations while improving productivity, quality and resource efficiency.

ANDRITZ Advanced Process Control (APC) enhances basic process control to optimize operations according to business drivers. By combining ANDRITZ process expertise with multivariable, predictive and adaptive control, APC helps stabilize processes and optimize performance in real time.

The goal is clear: translate process optimization into measurable value across throughput, quality and cost.

Key Benefits

• Increase production throughput

• Improve product quality consistency

• Reduce process variability

• Lower energy and raw material consumption

• Minimize operating costs

• Reduce operator workload

• Improve process stability and reliability

• Support sustainability objectives

Why invest in Advanced Process Controls?

Traditional control systems are designed to maintain process setpoints. ANDRITZ APC goes further by continuously analyzing process conditions and adjusting operating parameters to achieve optimal performance. This enables mills to move from maintaining individual process conditions toward continuously optimizing their operations.

By coordinating multiple variables simultaneously, it enables mills to:

• Operate closer to process constraints with confidence

• Respond automatically to disturbances

• Improve efficiency across the production process

• Reduce quality deviations and production losses

• Maximize production while maintaining target specifications
