(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on August 23, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. local time
Metso will supply a greenfield kraft pulp mill to the Japanese Oji Paper Co.
Ltd., to be built in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, in the southern part of
China. Start-up of the pulp mill is scheduled at the end of 2012. The value of
the order will not be disclosed. A typical value of this type of a pulp mill
ranges from EUR 100 to 150 million depending on the scope of the delivery. More
than a half of the order was included in Paper and Fiber Technology's Q2 orders
received and the rest in Energy and Environmental Technology's Q2 orders
received.
Metso's scope of supply covers all main process equipment for the new mill,
including chip screens and storage systems, a continuous cooking system, a
fiberline including wash presses, ozone bleaching, a wet lap machine, a recovery
boiler, an evaporation system, a white liquor plant and a gas handling system.
The state-of-the-art technology delivered by Metso will ensure environmentally
friendly and efficient production.
The new pulp mill will produce 700,000 tonnes of bleached hardwood pulp annually
and will be integrated with an existing paper machine at the Nantong mill.
The order emphasizes Metso's strong capabilities as a full-scope supplier for
the pulp and paper industry. In June 2010 Metso announced that Ilim Group
contracted Metso to supply the main technology for a new 720,000 tonnes kraft
pulp mill in Bratsk, Russia.
Oji Paper Co. Ltd., one of the world's largest paper producers, manufactures
paper, pulp, and processed paper goods, including newsprint, carbonless paper,
wrapping and packaging paper, and paperboard. The new pulp mill in Nantong is a
part of Oji´s strategy to promote business expansion in East Asia.
Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for mining,
construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the pulp and paper
industries. We have about 27,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
