Södra awarded Andritz Oy the contract to supply a new evaporation plant for the pulp mill in Mörrum

Apr 14, 2016. /Lesprom Network/. Södra awarded Andritz Oy, a subsidiary of the international technology Group Andritz, the contract to supply a new evaporation plant for the pulp mill in Mörrum. The start-up is planned for the 4Q 2017, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network. 

A new evaporator will make it possible for Södra to increase its production rate while also enabling larger deliveries of energy products, such as electricity, district heating and biofuels. SEK 1 billion ($122 million) investment will increase production capacity by 45,000 tonnes, bringing the total production of paper and dissolving pulp to 470,000 tonnes.

The new 7-effect evaporator represents an important step in Södra Cell Mörrum's strategy plan to expand its production capacity. The evaporation plant will produce lye with a high content of dry solids, and both replace the existing evaporation lines while considerably improving the energy efficiency of the mill.
