Effluent management is a critical aspect of pulp and paper mill performance as large consumers of energy and water. The objective of this PhD project is to develop a methodological framework that uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and process modelling for the evaluation of effluent management options, on the technological level, operating level and at a company wide strategic level.
