PARETO Mixing Technology is used to improve and optimise the delivery of retention aid and other process chemicals to the paper machine. This technology focuses on the many variables that impact quality in modern papermaking, delivering optimization of key system inputs and improved machine efficiency. PARETO Mixing Technology can provide significant improvement in chemical efficacy while minimising the consumption of key resources such as water and energy.

The offering delivers reduced fresh water consumption, reduced associated energy costs of fresh water heating, improved chemical efficacy, improvements in operational efficiencies and improvements in quality control.

Globally, PARETO saves more than 25 billion gallons (approximately 100 million cubic meters) of water and almost 10 trillion BTUs of energy per year, equivalent to:

• The annual drinking water needs of 86 million people,
• The annual energy use of 145,000 households,
• Or, the annual energy use of 600,000 electric cars.

PARETO Mixing Technology is a patented, custom-engineered approach to feeding technology. Central to the technology offering is the PARETO Optimizer, whose unique design works in combination with custom CFD calculations and an unique understanding of chemistry to ensure that injection into the process stream is achieved efficiently and effectively.

The integration of PARETO Mixing technology with our chemical programmes begins with a preliminary system analysis and a comparison to alternative feed methodology. The delivery systems will then be engineered to your specific needs, aided by additional physical simulations that will optimise feed point and system additive. Combined with other novel Nalco technologies such as Core Shell, POSITEK 3G and ULTIMER, a PARETO programme delivers profitable and sustainable solutions.
