2004 - ANDRITZ Vertical volute pumps

Andritz received further DCS (Dedicated Control
System) orders for the P-RC APMP plants to be
installed at Estonian Cell’s mill in Kunda, Estonia
and Zhongmao’s mill in China.
Automation for pulp mills reached a record volume
of new orders. These deliveries include total
electrification, automation, and instrumentation for
all major processes: fiberline, recovery, white liquor
plant, and pulp drying. Deliveries of the RBS-Z20
(Recovery Boiler Safety System) were made to
Zellstoff Stendal in Germany, SPC Ruzomberok
in Slovakia, and Portucel Soporcel in Portugal.
By the end of the year, three more orders were
received.
An Advanced Process Control Model of the
recovery boiler furnace was integrated into a simulator
at UPM-Kymmene’s Pietarsaari mill in Finland.
Two additional deliveries were ordered by other
customers during the year.
Andritz Automation’s activities in the field of process
simulation and staging have been very successful.
At the Pietarsaari mill, an excellent startup
of the recovery boiler was achieved due to the
fact that the control system was checked out with
an IDEAS simulator prior to actual start-up.
Further deliveries for simulation include:
Arauco, Itata, Chile: pulp mill simulator for
recovery, recausticizing, lime kiln, and white
liquor production areas.
CMPC, Santa Fe, Chile: pulp mill simulator and
simulation for all major areas.
Shell Canada, Canada: steady-state models
for project feasibility study of a major oil sands
plant expansion.
