THE PROBLEM

The Evergreen Pulp and Paper Mill (Evergreen) in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, was experiencing a problem with the premature equipment failure of their electronic components due to corrosive gases. They needed a solution to remove H2S and other harmful gases from the environment to keep their sensitive and costly electronics protected. Pulp and paper mills are plagued by corrosion on their process control equipment, which leads to production losses, plant interruptions, costly replacements, and unscheduled downtime. The contaminants brought into the control room through personnel traffic affect both the room humidity and temperature, which can cause the corrosion rate to double.
