This is the fourth HERB recovery boiler ANDRITZ is currently installing in India, demonstrating it’s strong presence in the Indian pulp and paper market.
January 10, 2022
ANDRITZ has successfully started up a new 950 t/d HERB chemical recovery boiler at JK Paper Limited, Unit: CPM at Fort Songadh, in the Tapi District of Gujarat state, India.
The boiler is designed to process hardwood black liquor and enables environment-friendly and more energy-efficient operation compared to the direct-contact evaporator boiler currently used at the mill. This will significantly increase the mill’s pulp production and power-to-heat ratio. The boiler also features a unique air system to minimize air emissions.
The scope of supply also included:
- Engineering for the entire system except for the civil works and the electrical and automation equipment
- Complete pressure parts
- Auxiliaries such as start-up oil burners, black liquor burners, smelt spouts and high-pressure steam valves and piping
- Safety-related system (SRS)
