64 BUSINESS AREAS ENVIRONMENT AND PROCESS In 2004, Andritz again confirmed its leading position as a supplier of centrifuges for sewage sludge treatment, reaching another record number of centrifuges sold. As a result of increased Sales and positive Earnings contributions from the newly acquired companies, EBITA increased to 9.9 MEUR (2003: 1.5 MEUR). EBITA margin improved significantly from 1.4% in 2003 to 4.5% in 2004. Development of the Business Area’s Order Intake was mainly influenced by the newly acquired companies, adding approximately 94 MEUR to the Business Area’s total Order Intake of 200.7 MEUR (2003: 110.2 MEUR). Major orders Large orders were obtained for fine coal dewatering via centrifuges, filter presses, and hyperbaric filters for Iran and Russia, as well as for filter presses for titanium dioxide plants in the Ukraine. For a Russian cement factory, Andritz will deliver five large filter presses to convert the mill from a wet to a semi-wet process in order to increase production. The boom in the petrochemical industry led to the receipt of a significant number of orders for PTA, PVC, HDPE, and melamine processing centrifuges in China, Brazil, and the USA. The municipality of Bremen ordered Andritz centrifuges for the dewatering of municipal sludge. Long-term service contracts for multiple centrifuge installations were signed with the City of New York, the City of Singapore, as well as with Haliburton. ANDRITZ 2004 The Business Area booked major orders for municipal sludge dryers from Pierce County, Washington; Bonita Springs, Florida; Winston- Salem, North Carolina; and Encina, California, all in the USA; Schwenk Zement AG, Germany; the City of Strasbourg, France; and the City of YeoSu, South Korea. Research and Development The R&D focus for dryers was to further develop the range of Belt Drying Systems (BDS). New sizes were developed and an entire new design based on a full concrete casing was successfully introduced to the market with three orders received at the end of 2004. The new drive system for centrifuges has successfully proven its long-term reliability. Marketing started in the Second Half of 2004 and resulted in the sale of four centrifuges with the new system. A medium-term program has started in order to rationalize and standardize the former Andritz, Bird, and Humboldt products. This program includes modernization of designs as required. Research work continued in order to broaden the applications for centrifuges. A value engineering program has been started to merge the filter press designs of Ritterhaus & Blecher and NETZSCH Filtration.
