Pulping Energy & Fiber-Loss Cost Estimator

Two recurring costs decide pulper economics: energy per ton and fiber lost with the rejects. Estimate both — and what a better-matched pulper could recover.

Capacity (tons per day)

Operating days per year

Specific energy (kWh/ton — efficient 9, small unit 30)

Electricity price ($/kWh)

Current fiber loss to rejects (% — typical 10–20)

Recovered pulp value ($/ton)

Adjust the inputs and press Estimate annual cost.

Estimate only, for planning. Energy band 9.2–30.4 kWh/t (ACEEE 2003); cleaner reject 10–20% and recycled yield ~88% (USDA / WMU). Actual figures depend on furnish, line design and tariff — request an engineered estimate.
