High-end evaporation boosts process availability of the whole pulp mill

Pulp mill processes need to be continuous as well as cost and energy efficient. The evaporation process plays a critical role here. How do ANDRITZ evaporation solutions truly address these needs?

Proven success after decades of experience

Over the decades, ANDRITZ has proven the success of its evaporation technology and is now the market leader in the supply of evaporation systems to pulp mills. With around 60% of total market share, and with over 500 references worldwide, systems have recently been installed at some of the largest pulp projects around the world, including Suzano’s Ribas do Rio Pardo mill in Brazil, UPM’s Paso de los Toros mill in Uruguay, and Liansheng Pulp & Paper in China.

ANDRTZ’s mission has always been to put customers’ needs first, to boost mill performance and maximize uptime. Since its first deliveries of tailor-made evaporation systems in the 1980s, the decades of experience at both greenfield and brownfield sites have enabled a unique insight into mill operations, allowing for flexibility to adapt to all customer requests including capacity increases on existing systems.

This experience, process knowledge and equipment and plant engineering expertise also ensures ease of operation and maximum safety. Furthermore, ANDRITZ partners with mill operational teams in the daily operation during the whole lifecycle of the mill, guaranteeing availability by utilizing the latest digital products with continuous support from experienced process experts.   

The advanced technology applied to ANDRITZ evaporation systems also enables optimized process concepts, 100% emission-free, and with maximized energy efficiency ensuring continuous energy generation. Moreover, the latest technology allows for full utilization of any side products that can be reused and optimized in other process areas of the pulp mill.
