In Brazil, Andritz completed start-up of key production technologies and equipment for Fibria’s new pulp mill in Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Fibria’s new pulp mill has a production capacity of 1.95 million tons of eucalyptus pulp per year. Combined with the existing mill at Três Lagoas the total production capacity reaches 3.25 million tons per year, thus making Três Lagoas one of the largest pulp production sites in the world.

Andritz supplied impressive equipment to Fibria’s new pulp mill including the largest recovery boiler in Latin America with a peak capacity of 8,250 tds/d. The Andritz HERB recovery boiler is equipped with state-of-the-art combustion technology to minimize the emissions and maximize green energy production. It is capable of burning and destroying all the harmful non-condensable gases and the methanol produced in other process areas of the mill.

In addition, Andritz delivered a chloride and potassium removal system to enhance the chemical recovery process and a liquid methanol plant for production of biofuel.
