Old Corrugated Carton LineA process for adjusting materials to be delivered to the(OCC line)

following paper making line (PM line) in the corrugatedcarton production process. The energy used by the OCC line
is electricity.
It mainly consists of a pulper which melts old corrugatedcarton and a screen which refines the corrugated medium,and also motor, pump, agitator, thickener, and cleaner.

Paper Machine LineA process for making paper in a corrugated carton production(PM line)

Summary

GHG emission reduction

This methodology targets introduction of energy saving

measurestechnologies, i.e. energy-efficient old corrugated carton
processing system, to OCC lines in a cardboard factory.
Mechanical efficiency of each element device is improved andsystem configuration and control are optimized in theenergy-efficient old corrugated carton processing system, e.g.
improvement of impeller-shape in an agitator leading to higher

motor efficiency and optimization of the system configurationof pumps, which leads to a reduction of the electricity
consumptions, and consequently GHG emission reductions.
Calculation of referenceReference emissions are calculated from the energy intensity

emissions(specific energy consumption) of the reference OCC line(s), theproject paper production and the emission factor for consumedelectricity.

Calculation of project

Project emissions are calculated from the electricity

emissionsconsumption by the project OCC line and the emission factor
for consumed electricity.

Monitoring parametersPaper production measured at the PM line connected to theproject OCC lineElectricity consumption of the project OCC line

D. Eligibility criteria
This methodology is applicable to projects that satisfy all of the following criteria.
Criterion 1

The specific energy consumption of the project OCC line guaranteed by themanufacture is, at the minimum, less than the reference specific energy
consumption set for the project factory.

Criterion 2

The paper yield of the project OCC line(s) guaranteed by the manufacture isequal to or more than 90% at the range of designed production capacity.

Criterion 3

Production capacity of the project OCC line is no more than the twice as large as
the capacity of the existing OCC line.

Criterion 4

Plan for regular adjustment, replacement, and improvements of project OCCline(s) is prepared (at least once every six months).

F. Establishment and calculation of reference emissions
F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
In this methodology, the reference emissions are calculated conservatively based on the past
performance by averaging the values of the specific electricity consumption (SEC) without
those which exceed 2 times the standard deviation above the mean within two years from thetiming of validation of the existing OCC lines of the same factory where the project OCCline(s) is installed.
Net emission reductions are achieved by fixing the default value of specific electricity
consumption (i.e. amount of electricity consumed by the OCC line to produce one unit of paper
product measured at the PM line) of the reference OCC line conservatively in the following
manner:Collect 300 data sets of daily electricity consumption by the OCC line* and daily volumeof paper product at the PM line connected to the OCC line and calculate the SEC of theOCC line for each daily data by dividing electricity consumption by volume of paper
product.
*Electricity consumption by the OCC line can be measured with a measuring equipment orcan be estimated from measured electricity consumption of the whole corrugated carton
production process consisting of the OCC line and the PM line based on the ratio of therated power consumption in each line.

Calculate the reference specific energy consumption () by averaging the values ofthe SEC without those which exceed 2 times the standard deviation above the mean.
Where multiple OCC lines exist in the factory, select the most recently installed OCCline(s) for data collection.

Where recently more than one OCC line installed (at the same time), select one with thehighest efficiency as the reference OCC line.

If the existing OCC line has been installed as a JCM project, data of such OCC line is
excluded from calculation of the default value.
