Uprated automation for Fajar in Indonesia
Fajar Paper, a leading packaging paper manufacturer in Indonesia, has ordered a second automation system from ABB. The distributed control and quality control systems will be used on Fajar’s PM3 machine, one of five at its mill that has total yearly production of 1.2 million tons of packaging paper including coated duplex board, kraft liner board and corrugated medium paper. “We are very happy to use ABB equipment on our paper machines and we appreciate how ABB
always takes a long term view of their relationship with Fajar, seeing it as something that is more important than one single order,” said Wimba Wibawa, engineering director at Fajar, whose full name is PT Fajar Surya Wisesa Tbk. The order comprises a
distributed control system for stock preparation, chemical area and paper machine and quality control system for paper machine with two scanners. The existing third-party automation system in PM3 will be replaced with ABB’s Automation System 800xA, thus resolving the legacy issue faced by the automation system. The order for the automation
system on Fajar’s PM3 follows the successful installation of a system for the mill’s PM5 machine.
Expansion for Guaíba pulp mill in Brazil
A new pulp line that expands the Guaíba mill run by CMPC Celulose Riograndense at Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil has started up after two years of construction by Valmet. With current capacity of 1.3 million tonnes per year, the line can, with minor investments, be upgraded to reach 1.5 million tonnes per year. This is an addition to the existing capacity of the mill of 500,000 tonnes per year. “Valmet’s commitment was
to deliver to CMPC sustainable technologies to create a world reference in efficiency and low environmental emissions,” said Celso Tacla, Valmet’s area president for South America.
“The mill is located very close to the city of Guaíba and one of the most important prerequisites was to minimise all possible impacts to the community. The project execution was a great success.” The project covered the key
processes of the pulp line, from the cooking plant to the bales that are shipped to final users, including the complete fibreline, pulp drying and baling, evaporation, recovery boiler, causticizing, lime kiln and an integrated automation solution and operator training simulator for all mill process areas. In addition, Valmet has also delivered a non-condensing gas treatment system.
PROJECT NEWS IN BRIEF
● Turkish tissue producer Hayat Kimya – which started up its PM4 machine at Alabuga mill in Tartarstan, Russia, in December 2014, its PM5 machine at the Mewrsin mill in March, and is expecting its sixth Valmet-supplied machine to start up in 2016 – is having its PM1 rebuilt, also by Valmet. The machine at Hayat Kimya’s mill in Yeniköy, near Izmit, will use Advantage DCT technology and includes the replacement of existing press section with an Advantage ViscoNip press. Capacity will increase from 350,000 to 420,000 tonnes a year with the latest investments. “We are very satisfied with the operations of our previous Valmet machines so it was a natural decision to go with Valmet also this time,” said Lütfi Aydin, director of the paper group at Hayat Kimya.
● Krishna Tissues, based in Kolkata, India, has ordered a winder from Italy’s A.Celli Paper. The AC842 rewinder will be working with 80-320gsm testliner products at speeds up to 2,000 mpm with a width of 5.6m. The Krishna mill at Ghoraghata operates a single board machine with a capacity of 90,000 tpa using 100 per cent recycled fibre.
● LLC Pulp Invest has started up a new tissue production line at its mill in Kazan, Russia, using a 1,700 mpm, 2.8m-wide PrimeLineCOMPACT II tissue machine with 3.6m steel Yankee supplied by Andritz, which included a full turnkey package including stock preparation plant, pumps, automation, and electrification. Yury Nuzhin, general director of LLC Pulp Invest, said he was pleased with the successful completion of the project.
● Iggesund Paperboard has ordered a complete press section from Andritz for the PM2 machine at its Workington paperboard mill in the UK for start-up in the second quarter of 2016. The project includes a turnkey new press section, including a PrimePress X shoe press and a new PrimeFeeder for tail threading from press section to dryer section. Also included are a new press pulper, field instrumentation, machine control systems, electrification, and new press section drives.
