PARETO Mixing Technology

PARETO Mixing Technology effectively balances and provides the optimal feeding solution of the interrelated and dependent variables of hydrodynamics, chemistry and water management to bring you multiple benefits, such as reduced cost, improved operational efficiencies and enhanced finished product quality.

PARETO Mixing Technology is used to improve and optimize the delivery of retention aid and other process chemicals to the paper machine. As an integral part of SMART Solutions, PARETO technology focuses on the many variables that impact quality in modern papermaking, delivering optimization of key system inputs and improved machine efficiency.

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.

The PARETO Mixing Technology offering has saved in five yearsof operation nearly 5.2 billion gallons of fresh water (~20 million m³) and nearly 2.3 trillion BTU's (>670 GW-Hr) of energy, meaning:

~ 50,000 American homes annual fresh water consumption
~ 10 hrs. of Niagara Falls flow
~ 400,000 barrels of crude oil
~ 33,000 cars removed from the road
~170,000 tons of CO₂ prevented from release to the environment

PARETO Mixing Technology is a patented, custom-engineered approach to feeding technology. Central to the PARETO 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 thin stock stream is achieved efficiently and effectively.

Your custom-engineered PARETO technology program begins with a preliminary screening test, a MixJet® analysis, a free comparison to alternative feed methodology and custom CFD calculations. The delivery systems will then be engineered to your specific needs, aided by additional physical simulations that will optimize feed point and selection additive. Combined with other novel Nalco technologies such as Core Shell®, POSITEK 3G™ and ULTIMER®, a PARETO program provides for unsurpassed wet-end performance.
