Austria-headed international technology group major Andritz AG (ANDRITZ) has announced that it has been selected to supply a new recovery boiler for Century Pulp and Paper’s mill in Lalkuan, Uttarakhand, India.
Established in 1984, Century Pulp and Paper is part of the Aditya Birla Group and is one of India’s largest manufacturers of paper, board, tissue, and pulp, operating from a single location.
The new recovery boiler, the value of which has not been disclosed, will replace one of the existing recovery boilers, increasing the mill’s green energy production.

Designed to process black liquor derived from a raw material mixture of hardwood, bamboo, and bagasse, the scope of supply includes an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) to ensure low particulate matter (PM) emissions at the stack.
Our new recovery boiler from ANDRITZ will significantly enhance our mill’s environmental performance and ensure a stable supply of green energy over a long period of time, commented Ajay Gupta, CEO of Century Pulp and Paper.
This is the seventh new recovery boiler ANDRITZ will deliver in India.
