The ANDRITZ A-Recovery+ program, already established, is a major part of CircleToZero®. It unleashes the economic potential of the many traditionally unused side streams found in the recovery island of chemical pulp mills. These include purifying raw methanol into commercial quality bio-methanol for instance, on-site production of sulfuric acid, and recovery of kraft lignin.

With this newly developed technology, ANDRITZ is helping Södra Cell Mönsterås pulp mill to become the first-ever fossil-free biomethanol plant worldwide and also be climate-positive by the end of this decade.

Our CircleToZero team is happy to share the program and solutions in detail and define new ways to operate mills in more sustainable ways with enhanced bottom-line results,” Lauri Pehu-Lehtonen, Director A-Recovery+, ANDRITZ explains.
