Graz, November 16, 2009. International technology Group ANDRITZ will supply and install a High Energy Recovery Boiler (HERB) and an evaporation plant for CMPC´s pulp mill in Laja, Chile. The supply also includes the complete instrumentation, control system, and electrification for the processes delivered. The total value of this order is approximately 100 MEUR. Start-up is scheduled for early 2012.
The new High Energy Recovery Boiler supplied by ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER has a capacity of 2,500 tds/d and will maximize the production of green electricity and steam for CMPC´s Laja pulp mill. The High Dry Solids Evaporation Plant (560 t/h), which is designed to produce clean condensates, will fully recycle these condensates back to the mill processes, and lower the mill´s water consumption.
This order is part of an energy efficiency investment by CMPC to make the Laja pulp mill self-sufficient in green energy and allowing for a long-term production of 460,000 adt/a. In addition, this investment will lower the mill´s air and effluent emissions.
