ANDRITZ starts up complete pulp mill for Liansheng Pulp & Paper, China
International technology group ANDRITZ has successfully started up a large new pulp mill for Liansheng Pulp & Paper in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China.
ANDRITZ supplied the complete mill with state-of-the-art technologies for all major process islands.
The supply covered the chip handling plant, the complete fiberline equipped with Compact Press wash press technology, and the chemical recovery systems, including China’s largest HERB recovery boiler to maximize energy generation from the recovery process. Also included was the white liquor plant, equipped with a biomass gasification system to enable fossil-free operation of the single lime kiln plant – the world’s largest in terms of capacity. A mill-wide incineration system has been installed to treat all types of non-condensable gases, and two sets of DeNOx scrubbers reduce NOx emissions to mill standards.
Xue Rongjun, General Manager at Zhanpu mill of Liansheng Pulp & Paper (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. said: “ANDRITZ’s resource-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies will help us meet our environmental goals. Now the entire kraft pulp mill is in stable operation.”
The mill, which is the largest kraft pulp mill in China, started up on schedule and is now ramping up production. With this project Liansheng Pulp & Paper has continued its successful collaboration with ANDRITZ. Last year, two ANDRITZ tissue machines including stock preparation and automation systems started up at the Zhangzhou mill.
“We are honored that Liansheng Pulp & Paper has renewed its collaboration with us for the implementation of this major pulp mill project. Our technologies are designed to achieve the highest levels of efficiency and sustainability, which is perfectly in line with Liansheng’s forward-looking vision,” said Jarno Nymark, Executive Board Member of ANDRITZ.
