Grasim Industries, India, has ordered from Metso, Finland, a new recovery boiler to replace two existing recovery boilers at its Hartihar Polyfibers rayon grade pulp mill located in Kumarapatnam, Karnataka state, India. Startup of the boiler is scheduled for the third quarter of 2012. The value of the order was not disclosed.
Metso's delivery includes the main equipment and piping and standard equipment for the recovery boiler as well as field instruments. The new recovery boiler will improve steam generation and help lower operating and maintenance costs over the mill's two present bidrum recovery boilers.
"We entered into a contract with Metso for a new recovery boiler as a replacement for existing boilers for ensuring safe and reliable operation and enhanced environmental performance. This recovery boiler project is prestigious for the Harihar plant", says Rajendra Jain, executive president, Harihar Polyfibers.
Grasim Industries, part of Aditya Birla Group, is the largest exporter of Viscose Rayon Fiber (VSF) in India, with an aggregate capacity of 333,975 metric tpy. The Harihar Polyfibers unit has facilities for the manufacture of both VSF and rayon grade pulp, the basic raw material for VSF.
