Kvaerner has announced that its Pulp & Paper business area has recently secured contracts to supply boilers, boiler rebuilds and fibreline systems, primarily in Europe, worth a combined total of approximately EUR 45 million. The Power division is to supply a HYBEXTM power boiler to Norske Skog Parenco BV recycling newsprint mill in The Netherlands. The boiler to be supplied will use Bubbling Fluidised Bed (BFB) technology and will have the capacity for firing about 400 tons of dry solids per day. The boiler will burn both sludge and rejects from the de-inking plant and the waste-water treatment plant. The new product will be ready for commissioning in February 2004. The Portucel Soporcel Group has placed an order for boiler rebuilds on its Figueira da Foz and Setubal pulp and paper mills in Portugal. The existing bark-fired boilers will be converted to Kvaerner’s BFB technology to meet the customer’s demands on environmental performance and operation parameters. The Setubal boiler starts up in Spring 2003 and the Figueira da Foz delivery, which also includes an electrostatic filter (ESP), will be commissioned in the late summer of 2003. The Fiberline division has four new orders for COMPACT PRESS(tm) pulp washing systems. Since the launch in February 2001 a total of 21 systems have now been sold. Södra Cell Tofte A/S in Norway ordered a COMPACT PRESS(tm) as part of the rebuild of their 4-stage diffuser bleach plant to a 5 stage. Start-up is scheduled for May 2003. SCA Mannheim in Germany is replacing old wash filters with two new systems to enable it to further improve its environmental performance, and at the same time reduce its operating costs. Start-up is scheduled for April 2003. Kishu Mill in Japan has ordered a COMPACT PRESS(tm) for a washing stage before the oxygen plant. The order also comprises a rebuild of the previously delivered 1-stage oxygen delignification to a DUALOX(tm) system. The installation is scheduled for start-up in mid July, 2003. Kvaerner’s pulp cooking equipment has been ordered by the Hokuetsu Niigata
Mill for a rebuild of one of their continuous digesters to the KoboduMari process for obtaining improved cooking yield and better runnability. This is the third recent cooking retrofit order for Japan.
