Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Ltd (TNPL) has ordered from Andritz, Graz, Austria, a three-loop deinking plant for its mill in Kagithapuram, India. This will be the first three-loop deinking plant to be commissioned in India. Startup is planned for the end of 2011.
The deinking plant, with a three loop and two disperser configuration, has a capacity of 300 metric tpd and is part of a program to extend the paper production capacity of the TNPL mill from 245,000 to 400,000 metric tpy. Raw materials used in the DIP line are 80% sorted office waste and 20% magazine grades. The deinked pulp will be used to produce high-quality writing and printing papers.
Andritz will also supervise project erection work and startup.
