2012/04/29

International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an order from JSC Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill (APPM) to supply equipment for a new semi-chemical pulp line for APPM’s Novodvinsk mill, Russia. The green liquor cooking and washing technology by ANDRITZ will improve the fiber quality and reduce production cost as well as the effluent charge. Start-up is scheduled for the second quarter of 2014.

The scope of supply comprises the chip washing system, the cooking plant with continuous steam-phase digester, flat disc refiners, washers and screw presses, electrical equipment, as well as instrumentation and control systems. The new plant will use birch and aspen as raw material and produce 1,000 t/d of fluting and testliner pulp grade, thus doubling the current APPM capacity.
