Holmen AB's subsidiary, Iggesund Paperboard Ltd., Helsinki, Finland, has ordered from Andritz, Graz, Austria, a wood-based biomass receiving and handling system for its Workington paperboard mill in Cumbria, U.K. Startup is scheduled for April 2013.
The order includes supply, installation, and startup of the equipment (1,000 cubic meters/hr capacity) for receiving and storing biomass, as well as conveying it to the Andritz biomass boiler. This includes a horizontally fed chipping line for logs with an HHQ-Chipper, and a horizontally fed crushing line for wood waste. The storage facility, also provided by Andritz, will accommodate 20,000 cubic meters of biomass.
This follows an order received from Iggesund in April for the supply of an Andritz bubbling fluidized bed boiler for the Workington mill, which will generate steam at a rate of 195 tons/hr.
