Andritz to Deliver Biomass Boiler for Iggesund Paperboard Project

International technology Group Andritz, Graz, Austria, reports that it has received an order from Holmen AB's subsidiary Iggesund Paperboard Ltd. to deliver a biomass boiler island for Iggesund Paperboard (Workington) Ltd. in Cumbria, U.K. Commissioning and startup of the boiler are scheduled for April 2013.

According to Holmen, the new biofuel boiler will substantially reduce energy costs and boost the paperboard mill's competitiveness. The boiler will burn wood-based fuels (wood, sawmill chips, bark, and sawdust) and generate steam at the rate of 195 metric tons/hr. Andritz's scope of supply includes the boiler island as well as erection work and commissioning. The boiler's design is based on Andritz's Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) technology combining high fuel efficiency with excellent environmental performance.
