Company Information
Graz/Helsinki, February 13, 2015. International technology Group ANDRITZ has signed a letter of intent with Metsä Fibre to deliver key production technologies for a new bio-product pulp mill with an annual capacity of 1.3 million tons of pulp in Äänekoski, Finland. The order value for ANDRITZ is over 100 million euros. Start-up of the planned mill is scheduled for August 2017.
ANDRITZ's scope of supplies includes: - A complete wood processing plant including three debarking lines designed for world record capacities (up to 470 m3 solid-over-bark per hour) and the world's biggest horizontally fed chippers, ensuring high capacity without compromising the chip quality. - A fiberline for softwood and hardwood including a chip feeding system, a continuous cooking plant, seven DD (Drum Displacer) washers, and a new evaporation system for liquor extraction. The line's softwood capacity will be the highest in the world by far (3,900 tons per day). - The world's most energy-efficient black liquor evaporation plant with the highest capacity in Europe (1,650 tons/hour). - A recausticizing plant, which will be the largest in Europe (white liquor production of 16,000 m3/day).
The new mill will be a next-generation bio-product pulp mill which can convert wood raw material into bio-materials and bio-energy in addition to high-quality pulp. It will not use any fossil-based fuels as all of the energy required will be generated from wood. The erection of the new mill is the largest investment in the Finnish forest industry ever.
