The order comprises the supply of a fibre line with 2-stage refining to ensure lowest possible energy demand and high fibre quality, as well as a two-stage bleaching system with minimum chemical consumption. Six counter-current washing stages will reduce contaminants so that exceptionally clean pulp can be produced at low chemical oxygen demand. In addition, the Andritz washing technology will help keep fresh water consumption and effluent levels to a minimum, according to a press release.
The new fibre line uses available synergies with the existing eucalyptus pulping line at ITC Bhadrachalam. The effluent will be evaporated, the clean condensate re-used, and the white liquor from the kraft mill will be used as alkali source in the new BCTMP fibre line.
Andritz is a globally leading supplier of plants, equipment, and services for hydropower stations, the pulp and paper industry, the metalworking and steel industries, and for solid/liquid separation in the municipal and industrial sectors. (GK)
