Packaging Corp. of America (PCA) has awarded Amec, an England-based engineering and project management company, a $93 million contract for energy efficiency upgrades at its linerboard mill in Valdosta, Ga., that will reduce energy consumption and electricity costs. Work is currently underway on the project and is expected to be completed by the end of 2011. Upon completion, the Valdosta mill will burn only internally generated wood waste and black liquor in its boilers and will self-generate nearly 100% of its electricity requirements. AMEC will be providing engineering, procurement, and construction services for the recovery power modernization project, which includes a new recovery boiler, turbine generator, and evaporator upgrades. The new equipment is deemed pollution-control, and a large percentage of it produces self-sustained, green energy.
