APP, Indonesia, has started up two Andritz (Austria) P-RC APMP mechanical pulping lines at its mill in Jingui, Guangxi Province, China. The guaranteed production of 750 a.d. metric tpd was achieved within only 2.5 months for Line No.1 and 1.5 months for Line No. 2. This sets production records for single mechanical pulping lines in China. In addition, excellent pulp properties are being reported by the mill.
The lines at Jingui process eucalyptus fiber from plantations. They operate totally free of silicates within the bleaching process. Effluents are recovered to reduce the environmental impact. White liquor is retrieved in the chemical recovery cycle and reused in the mechanical pulping process to a very large extent, resulting in a significant reduction in operating costs, according to Andritz.
