CMPC to Install New Recovery Boiler, Evap Plant at Chile Mill

CMPC, Laja, Chile, has ordered an Andritz Pulp & Paper (Graz, Austria) High Energy Recovery Boiler (HERB) and an evaporation plant to make its pulp mill self-sufficient in green energy and allow for a long-term production of 460,000 a.d. metric tpy. In addition, this investment will lower the Laja mill's air and effluent emissions. The order also includes the complete instrumentation, control system, and electrification for the processes delivered. The total value of this order is approximately 100 MEUR. Startup is scheduled for early 2012. The HERB will have a capacity of 2,500 metric tons of dry solids per day. The High Dry Solids Evaporation Plant (560 metric t/hr), which is designed to produce clean condensates, will fully recycle these condensates back to the mill processes, and lower the mill's water consumption.
