Pulp & Paper
Optimizing Air Quality and Process Precision
Pulp and paper mills rely on dependable measurement at recovery boilers, lime kilns, power boilers, and process sources. Moisture, particulate loading, and changing operating conditions can complicate sampling and emissions monitoring. Applicable requirements depend on the equipment and facility permit.
TriCore IMS designs and supports CEMS and DAHS solutions, analyzer systems, sample conditioning, testing, and QA programs for these applications. We help mill teams plan reliable monitoring and connect field data with reporting needs.
Comprehensive Integration Capabilities
TriCore IMS integrates analyzer and monitoring systems for high-moisture, high-particulate, and variable process conditions common in pulp and paper mills. Equipment selection and sample conditioning are tailored to the source and operating environment.
Our solutions include:
Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS): Monitoring for SO₂, NOₓ, CO, CO₂, TRS, and particulate emissions across recovery boilers, lime kilns, and power boilers
Data Acquisition & Handling Systems (DAHS): Real-time data management and reporting platforms ensuring compliance with EPA and state air quality programs.
Calibration and Traceability Programs: Calibration routines, records, and QA checks that support reliable analyzer performance and traceable data.
Process Data Analytics: Advanced analytics tools to monitor process efficiency, fuel consumption, and emission trends for continuous improvement.
Real-Time Diagnostics & Visualization: Dashboards and alert systems that provide plant-wide insight into emissions performance and compliance status.
Compliance Expertise for a Regulated Industry

Enhancing Efficiency and Sustainability
TriCore’s analytics and monitoring solutions help pulp and paper manufacturers not only meet regulatory standards but also optimize production processes. Our real-time monitoring tools identify opportunities for fuel savings, reduced chemical losses, and lower emissions intensity—supporting both environmental goals and cost efficiency.
By integrating predictive analytics and automated QA systems, TriCore transforms compliance into a driver of long-term sustainability and operational excellence.
Emissions Testing Services
Pulp and paper facilities must verify emissions from recovery boilers, lime kilns, power boilers, and process-related sources while managing demanding operating conditions. TriCore supports testing programs that connect source sampling results with monitoring accuracy, QA records, and environmental reporting.
- Stack testing for recovery boilers, lime kilns, and process sources
- TRS, SO2, NOx, CO, CO2, O2, particulate, and opacity support
- RATA assistance for CEMS in moisture- and heat-intensive environments
- Testing support coordinated with mill operations and maintenance
- QA documentation for agency reporting and internal review
