The refurbishment will help to increase the mill's efficiency and reduce consumption of resources.
Mr. Kim Sangwoo, Project Director, Moorim P&P, says, "We have set ambitious energy saving targets for our Ulsan mill. This upgrade will increase the capacity of our evaporation line no. 1 and the final dry solids content of the black liquor, which supports these targets. ANDRITZ's efficient technologies will contribute to water and energy savings."
The upgraded evaporation plant is designed to produce a stable, high-solids black liquor stream for efficient combustion in the recovery boiler. All condensates generated in the evaporation plant can be 100% re-used in other mill areas reducing the need for raw water.
"This order marks the continuation of the successful long-term cooperation between Moorim P&P and ANDRITZ. Our approach to the evaporation plant upgrade represents the best solution in terms of capacity, process, efficiency, and cost," says Sanna Semi, Vice President Global Evaporation Product Group, ANDRITZ.
ANDRITZ's scope of supply includes the following new equipment:
Start-up of the upgraded plant is scheduled for April 2025.
