Variable speed drives as energy efficient strategy in pulp and paper industry

The industrial sector is the largest consumer of energy in Malaysia, matched by the transport sector. Like many developing countries, the industrial sector contributes significantly to the national growth, and this economic growth drives the high growth in energy demand. Therefore, the increase in e...
