The ANDRITZ drying equipment will enable tissue machines at the Menasha mill to operate at speeds of up to 2,000 m/min with products for a wide range of basis weights. The scope of supply includes installation advisory services, start-up, commissioning, and training.

Mark Phiscator, Engineering Service Director of Essity North America, explains: “Our ambition is clear: We aim to innovate and implement new and improved production solutions with a smaller environmental footprint. And we expect the same from our suppliers. This is why we chose to work with ANDRITZ for the upgrade of our two tissue machines. We’ve worked together with the ANDRITZ tissue team in Montreal for a long time and really appreciate their expertise.”

Essity is a leading global hygiene and health company that conducts sales in approximately 150 countries and sells professional hygiene products under the globally leading Tork® brand. This order once again confirms the excellent business relationship between ANDRITZ and Essity.

International technology group ANDRITZ has successfully started up the new ANDRITZ A-ConApex™ cooking system supplied to the Altri Group’s Celbi eucalyptus pulp mill in Leirosa, Portugal.

  The A-ConApex™ continuous cooking technology for fines, rejects and non-wood materials is an optimized cooking solution developed by ANDRITZ. The first of its kind cooking system was integrated into the existing ANDRITZ Lo-Solids Cooking process at Altri Celbi pulp mill in Leirosa, Portugal. © ANDRITZ The A-ConApex™ continuous cooking technology for fines, rejects and non-wood materials is an optimized cooking solution developed by ANDRITZ. The first of its kind cooking system was integrated into the existing ANDRITZ Lo-Solids Cooking process at Altri Celbi pulp mill in Leirosa, Portugal. © ANDRITZ The A-ConApex™ continuous cooking technology for fines, rejects and non-wood materials is an optimized cooking solution developed by ANDRITZ. It is the first of its kind in the world and can process and utilize almost any type of cellulosic raw material and fines from chip screening and screen room rejects, thus optimizing total use of wood raw materials and maximizing pulp yield. With the new cooking system, Altri is able to increase its daily production at the Leirosa mill by around 2.5% and reduce wastage of wood raw materials.

The new cooking system reached its nominal capacity of 60 admt/d during the first few days in operation and was integrated into the existing ANDRITZ Lo-Solids Cooking process, which was started up in 2017.

Gabriel Sousa, Executive Director for Innovation and Technological Development at Altri, says:

“The project is the culmination of open collaboration efforts between ANDRITZ and Altri, from the initial idea, to development and testing, and on to implementation. This first-of-its-kind technology has also been made possible by the joint contributions from multidisciplinary teams at Altri and Celbi, covering innovation, engineering, operations and laboratory. Successful implementation of this project also testifies to the Altri’s group commitment and investment in innovation and continuous improvement.”

Paulo Jordão, Industrial Director at Celbi, says: “This is one of those projects that makes us proud – technologically innovative on a global scale and in keeping with the concept of the circular economy. It combines knowledge, teamwork, continuous improvement and innovation, which are hallmarks of the Altri group in general and Celbi in particular.”

Celbi – a part of the Altri group – is one of the most efficient global producers of cellulosic fiber in Europe, with an annual production capacity of about 800,000 tons. The company is dedicated to the production of cellulosic fiber of high quality, made from eucalyptus and suitable for the production of certain types of paper and cardboard.

International technology group ANDRITZ has successfully improved performance of the pulp mill at Mondi Frantschach by implementing new advanced process controls.

The target was to reduce the variability of Kappa, an indication of the lignin content in the pulp, in order to run the process a step closer to its maximum specification limits. This measure leads to higher production efficiency in the mill because less wood is needed to produce the same amount of pulp.

As part of the optimization project, ANDRITZ Automation commissioned and fine-tuned three advanced process controls (APCs) in Mondi´s continuous cooking process. The controls implemented, including the chip level control for digester and impregnation vessel, the digester H-factor control (kinetic model for the rate of delignification in kraft pulping) and the blow-flow consistency control, were fully developed with Metris X – the distributed control system (DCS) developed by ANDRITZ Automation to simplify operational complexity, lower project risk, and improve plant performance. Metris X is a key application of the Metris UX Platform, a state-of-the-art digitalization platform that enables full functionality and support for industrial plants throughout their entire life cycle.

ANDRITZ’s scope of supply included the analysis of data correlated to Kappa, return of investment (ROI) calculations, an evaluation of the cooking process, instrumentation, and former Kappa control, performing of trials on the actual process, and the commissioning, start-up and fine-tuning of an advanced process control solution for Kappa stabilization.

The solution delivered proved better than the former system in all instances, showing that ANDRITZ Automation is capable of delivering the results promised.

Mondi Frantschach would like to point out that the fruitful working cooperation between the Mondi Frantschach team and ANDRITZ Automation was a key factor in this great achievement of further improving the complex kraft pulping process.

The pulp drying plant at Bracell’s “STAR” project in Lençóis Paulista, São Paulo, consisting of two identical pulp drying lines (L2A and L2B) supplied by ANDRITZ, has achieved new production world records.

On December 18, 2021, the L2A pulp drying line reached a total output of 4,672.5 air dry tons per day, which is a production world record on a single line. In terms of specific drying capacity, this corresponds to 456 tons per day and meter of working width produced on an ANDRITZ drying line for a sheet width of 10.24 meters.

Moreover, on December 18, 2021, the L2A and L2B pulp drying lines achieved a total of 8,897.4 air dry tons per day on both lines together, which is a new mill-wide capacity world record.

Both records were set during the first four months after start-up. This impressive performance was made possible by ANDRITZ’s leading and proven EvoDry pulp drying system, whose energy-efficient pulp drying is based on the high-capacity Twin Wire Former technology, includes airborne dryers, cutter-layboy and baling lines, and is equipped with the Metris DryQ smart pulp drying solution.

Bracell’s “STAR” project at the mill in Lençóis Paulista is one of the largest and most sustainable pulp mills in the world, meeting the highest environmental standards. It features two flexible, environmentally friendly hardwood fiberlines for a capacity of 2.6 to 2.8 million tons/year of bleached kraft pulp or 1.5 million tons/year of dissolving pulp made from sustainably cultivated eucalyptus.
