Ganzhou Hwagain Paper starts up new tissue machine


T


he start-up of the PrimeLine tissue machine with shoe press supplied by


Andritz to Ganzhou Hwagain Paper in China has been successfully completed. “We were impressed by the


start-up: it took only 15 minutes from starting up the stock pump to the first paper on the reel,” said Liang Hongwei, chief engineer at Ganzhou Hwagain Paper. Liang added that the proven


Andritz shoe press technology and its energy and drying efficiency, as well as the decades of experience that Andritz has in the pulp and paper industry were decisive in the award of this order.


The scope of the project comprised the stock preparation


plant for softwood, hardwood, and bamboo pulp, the 2-layer headbox with dilution control system, a shoe press, the


wet dust removal system, a reel system, and the machine automation control system. Preparations are under way


Honeywell to automate new pulp mill in Russia


Russia’s first greenfield pulp mill to be built for 35 years will have process control systems supplied by Honeywell. Being built in the Chita region and operated by Russian North Star Pulp Industrial Complex LLC, but wholly owned by China’s Heilongjiang Xingbang International Resources Investment Co Ltd, the new pulp mill will use Honeywell’s Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) to run plant operations. The new mill will have an annual capacity of 230,000 tons


of unbleached market pulp when fully operational after start up in mid-2015. The mill’s whole output will be


exported to China to meet growing demand for paper goods, including construction material, packaging and other products. Consumption of paper-based


goods in China continues to rise at a rate of around 10 per cent a year and is expected to reach 115 million tons in 2015. The new pulp mill project is one result of efforts at greater cooperation between Russia’s Chita region and the


neighboring Heilonhjiang province of China. “Having efficient control


systems in place helps improve production performance several times over, so we put a great emphasis on choosing the right ones. Honeywell’s Experion PKS fully meets our requirements in terms of energy efficiency, reliability and safety,” said Yang Guangwen, chief engineer and vice general manager at North Star Pulp Industrial Complex LLC. “In addition, Honeywell has offices in Siberia and in China,


at Ganzhou Hwagain Paper for the start-up of a second tissue machine from Andritz, which is based in Austria.


which will make our collaboration easier.” Honeywell’s Experion PKS will be


installed in all of the mill’s major process areas including wood preparation, pulping and drying, as well as the chemical recovery and combined heat and power plant. “Honeywell has the innovative


technologies and the depth of experience in the pulp and paper industry to meet North Star Pulp Industrial Complex’s need for a highly productive and efficient pulp mill,” said Jarmo Kosunen, programme director for Honeywell Process Solutions. “Our technology will manage every main process in the mill, improving productivity, process reliability and helping to prevent unplanned shutdowns.”
