Austria-headed international technology group Andritz AG has announced that it has received an order from paper packaging materials- and solutions provider BillerudKorsnäs AB to supply a HERB recovery boiler for its mill in Frövi, Sweden.
In January this year, BillerudKorsnäs AB announced that it would invest an estimated SEK 2.6 billion (≈ EUR 257 million) in a new recovery boiler at its Frövi mill to ensure the long-term operation at the production site.
Andritz has now been selected to supply its HERB recovery boiler to replace the existing recovery boiler that has been in operation in Frövi since 1969. Start-up for the new boiler, the value of which has not been disclosed, is scheduled for the end of 2023.
We have been very pleased with the co-operation with Andritz during the sales phase, and the selection of the recovery boiler supplier is an important step in our Frövi investment project. We are looking forward to working in co-operation with the entire Andritz team during the project phase, said Richard Morén, Mill Director, BillerudKorsnäs Frövi.
The Andritz scope of supply includes a HERB recovery boiler designed for the current pulp production level, but also to support a future black liquor combustion capacity of 1 670 tds/d and with future steam parameters of 100 bar and 505°C to maximize power generation.
Andritz will also supply a high-density concentrator solution to increase the black liquor concentration. This will improve operation and increase power generation by the HERB recovery boiler at Frövi mill even further.
We are very proud that BillerudKorsnäs has placed its trust in the Andritz team and our technical solutions. Both the sales process and the collaboration between our teams were good right from the beginning. As a result, we have gathered an excellent understanding of BillerudKorsnäs’ business drivers and targets. We are looking forward to this project and to extending our collaboration even further, said Henrik Wikstedt, VP Recovery Boilers, Andritz.
