Mondi Orders New Recovery Boiler for Mill at Frantschach, Austria

Mondi Group has ordered from Andritz, Graz, Austria, a new 1,200 tds/d (tons of dry solids per day) recovery boiler for its Frantschach mill in St. Gertraud, Austria. The boiler is scheduled to startup in the second half of 2013.

Andritz Pulp & Paper will deliver the entire boiler plant with auxiliaries such as instrumentation and electrification for the boiler. The scope of supply also includes process control for the boiler island, including the safety system and integration to the existing mill's distributed network.

The modern recovery boiler design will replace two old boilers and will incorporate Andritz's Vertical Air combustion system to ensure the lowest possible emissions. Steam values for the new boiler are an operating pressure of 87.5 bars (a) and temperature of 480º C. Space has been allocated in the layout for a chloride and potassium removal system to be added some time in the future. The boiler's design also enables the addition of a flue gas cooler and/or a flue gas scrubber in the future.
