SB PulpDesign AB är ett enmansföretag med massor av skogsindustriell erfarenhet.

Experience
Jag, Staffan Berg, startade konsultföretaget 2020 för att verka som fristående processkonsult. Min erfarenhetsbank har byggts upp under 40 år på skiftande positioner och hos flera av Sveriges stora skogsbolag.

Kraft process, fibre lines, recovery, waste-water treatment and the interaction between the mill processes
I have extensive experience of all parts of a Kraft mill, but my areas of specialisation have been the fibre lines and the wastewater. I am uncommon in that I have experience of how the different parts of a mill interact. It is often forgotten that a truly optimised process should be tuned to improve the performance of future production steps in downstream sections of the mill. To summarise; I am more of an,” Interaction specialist,” when it is much more common to be a specialist in digesting, bleaching, recovery or wastewater treatment alone.

Mechanical pulp
I have a great degree of experience working with TMP, CTMP and HTCMP.

Process-simulation
My work with mill interactions from the wood yard to the paper/board machines and wastewater systems has given me a lot of experience in process simulation. In the past I worked with Win-Gems but for the last 15 years I have been working with the Extend-based ”PaperFront.”

From Fibre properties to Paper properties
My experience is not confined to the pulp mill. I have worked on how the properties of the fibres impact the stock preparation and the properties of the paper or board products produced. As a Product Development Engineer at the Iggesund mill I spent more than 10 years optimising the fibre production for optimal paper properties.
