OKI Pulp & Paper Mills, Indonesia, has ordered from Andritz, Austria, the world’s largest recovery boiler for its new kraft pulp mill in Indonesia. Startup is scheduled for the second quarter of 2016. The order value amounts to approximately EUR 120 million.
The total capacity of the Andritz High Energy Recovery Boiler (HERB) is about 50% higher than of any other recovery boiler in operation today, worldwide, reaching a black liquor firing capacity of 11,600 metric tpd of dry solids. The maximum daily green electricity production of the boiler is equivalent to the average daily electricity power need of a European city of one million inhabitants.
The boiler will feature state-of-the-art solutions for optimizing power-to-heat ratios by operating at higher pressures and temperatures than conventional boilers. This allows pulp mills to maximize their environmental-friendly power generation.
