Sun Paper starts up key process equipment supplied by ANDRITZ at Nanning pulp mill

Mr. Ying Guangdong, Vice General Manager and Chief Engineer at Shandong Sun Paper commented: "In the Nanning project, we had a very tight delivery schedule, and ANDRITZ made well-founded commitments. Of course, we also have full confidence in ANDRITZ's  chemical recovery technology and equipment. We have had a long history of cooperation and experience, working seamlessly together. The project's successful start-up and rapid achievement of production verified our choice of ANDRITZ technology."

This project highlights the excellent, long-standing partnership between the two companies. Over the past years, ANDRITZ has executed several projects at Sun Paper’s pulp and paper mills. At the end of 2023, a high kappa fiberline and a lime kiln plant – both supplied by ANDRITZ – started up at the Nanning pulp mill.

The recently commissioned systems include the following equipment on an EPS (engineering, procurement, supervision) basis:

• Lamella evaporation plant for high process availability, condensate quality, steam economy, and firing dry solids content
• ARC chloride removal system for recovering valuable process chemicals
• Recovery boiler designed for maximized electricity production and low flue gas emissions
• Integrated white liquor plant including recausticizing system and lime kiln with a gasification plant for energy-efficient and fossil-free operation
• 360° Stacker Reclaimer for efficient storing and reclaiming to ensure a homogenous and continuous chip supply
• Wet-lap system consisting of a Twin Wire Press, a cutter-layboy and a baling line ensuring high operational availability and high final dryness
