Gasification of paper industry residues – New PhD study announced
24 March 2011
Smithers Pira, working with researchers at Aston University and gasifier manufacturer Biomass Engineering, have been awarded an EPSRC PhD CASE studentship to examine 'The potential for generation of CHP by the gasification of paper industry wastes'. Aylesford Newsprint, SmurfitKappa SSK and Kimberly Clark are supporting the project.
The research aims are to:
1. develop methods to condition paper industry wastes to enable gasification
2. through trials, quantify the energy recovered through gasification of selected wastes, including flare consistency, calorific value and syngas quality
3. identify advantages of gasification (over other thermal techniques)
4. develop models to quantify economic gain and payback on investment
5. examine routes for full scale on site distributed energy generation in the paper industry.

What's New
29 March 2012
The global consumption of PET packaging will grow to almost 19.1 million tonnes by 2017 predicts Smithers Pira in a new market study.
25 January 2012
The global packaging industry will swell to almost $820 billion by 2016 predicts Smithers Pira in a new market forecast. Driven mainly by increasing demand for packaging in emerging and transitional economies, a 3% per annum growth rate will focus on board products and rigid plastics, with $40 billion and $33 billion in cumulative predicted growth respectively to 2016.
15 November 2011
The total market for radiation curing ink for packaging will grow 24% from its 2011 base to almost 37,500 tonnes by 2016. In value terms 60% plus growth will take the market to over $883 million in the same period according to a new study by Smithers Pira and Radtech Europe.
