Austria-headed international technology group Andritz AG has announced that it has successfully started up a new 550 t/d HERB chemical recovery boiler at Naini Papers Ltd in Kashipur, State of Uttarakhand, India.
Naini Papers is one of the leading paper brands in India and offers quality paper products from agricultural residues by using innovative, state-of-the-art technology, thereby providing an alternative to wood-based paper while conserving valuable resources and protecting the environment.
The boiler, which is upgradable to 700 t/d, is designed to handle a mixture of hardwood and agro-based black liquor and enables environmentally friendly and more energy-efficient operation compared to the black liquor incinerator previously used in the mill.
Thus, the mill’s pulp production, as well as the power-to-heat ratio, will increase substantially. The boiler also features a unique vertical air system to minimize air emissions.
The scope of supply also included:
- Engineering for the entire system except for civil work and the electrical and automation equipment;
- Complete pressure parts;
- Auxiliaries such as start-up oil burners, black liquor burners, and smelt spouts;
- Safety-related system (SRS)
This is the second of six ANDRITZ HERB recovery boilers currently being installed in India, showing the strong market share the company holds in the Indian pulp and paper market,
The entire ANDRITZ team has worked tirelessly and zealously to see to it that commissioning was trouble-free and fast. Team Naini conveys its warmest thanks to the ANDRITZ team for this wonderful support, said Pawan Agarwal, Managing Director, Naini Papers.
