JSC Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill (APPM), Russia, has ordered from Andritz, Graz, Austria, equipment for a new semi-chemical pulp line for its Novodvinsk mill in Russia. The green liquor cooking and washing technology by Andritz will improve the fiber quality and reduce effluents, as well as lower production costs. Startup is scheduled for the second quarter of 2014.

The scope of supply includes the chip washing system, the cooking plant with continuous steam-phase digester, flat disc refiners, washers, screw presses, electrical equipment, and instrumentation and control systems. The new plant will use birch and aspen as the raw material to produce 1,000 metric tpd of fluting and testliner pulp grades, doubling the mill's current capacity.
