The Fibria unit in Três Lagoas is already today one of the world’s largest pulp production plants. Once completed, the new mill will more than double the plant’s capacity through the addition of 1.75 million tons of pulp production per year. The pulp produced by Fibria is used for a wide range of papers including tissue, printing and writing.
ABB is supplying an integrated electrification and automation solution that will be applied in almost all process areas allowing for control and operation of the new mill alongside the existing one. The short-fiber eucalyptus pulp manufacturer awarded ABB the project based on technical and commercial criteria.
Also integrated is an asset optimization system which allows ABB to remotely monitor operations from a location thousands of kilometers away to provide data to support Fibria’s maintenance engineering decisions. This will help the pulp manufacturer to optimize its maintenance strategy procedures.
ABB is a leading power and automation technology group.
