Study of improvements in the production capacity of UNEMSA

UNEMSA’s wood board factory had the capacity to have a greater production but this was limited by the supply of material from the drying plant, whose operation conditioned the dry wood chips production.

AESA carried out a study of alternatives to evaluate the possibility to implement some improvements in the drying system that would allow an increasing in dry material production.

In the study, the operating conditions of the plant were determined, measurements of the relevant parameters available were taken and the baseline was established. In a second phase, a simulation of the plant was held in different scenarios in order to obtain the optimal solution.
