New HERB recovery boiler from ANDRITZ at JK Paper Limited, Unit: CPM
GRAZ, JANUARY 11, 2022. International technology group 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 environmentally 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)
AS Mehta, President & Director of JK Paper Ltd, says: “The entire ANDRITZ team has worked tirelessly and zealously to see that the commissioning was trouble-free and fast. This has been achieved despite many constraints during the COVID-19 pandemic. Team JK Paper conveys its warmest gratitude to the ANDRITZ team for this wonderful support.”
This is the fourth HERB recovery boiler ANDRITZ is currently installing in India, demonstrating ANDRITZ’s strong presence in the Indian pulp and paper market.
JK Paper Ltd. is one of the leading integrated pulp, paper, and packaging board manufacturers in India, offering quality paper and packaging board products through innovative and state-of-the-art technology from mixed hardwood raw material.
