(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on July 11, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. local time
Metso solution brings added value to chemical recovery
Metso will perform replacement of a chemical recovery boiler for UBE Chemicals
in Thailand. With Metso's solution, recovered chemicals can be combusted more
efficiently, creating energy extraction benefits with minimal burden on
environment. The total value of the order is above EUR 10 million and will be
included in Energy and Environmental Technology's Q2/2011 orders received.
UBE Chemicals operation in Rayong, south of Bangkok in Thailand, is engaged in
the production of nylon from raw materials. In the production process chemicals
are released and can be combusted. The Metso delivery provides for an efficient
combustion process solution of chemicals, and is based on Metso's recovery
boiler concept used in the pulp- and paper industry. Metso's delivery brings
value and efficiency to the innovative products and solutions UBE Group is
offering to customers around the world.
"Our choice in Metso for this project is due to their innovative and efficient
skills proven during earlier cooperation", says Watchara Pattananijnirudorn,
Executive Vice President of UBE Chemicals in Thailand. "Metso has previously
performed a similar replacement for UBE Chemicals in Spain when a new combustion
plant for chemicals was installed with exceptional results."
In Thailand Metso is to replace the entire pressure vessel with a new designed
incinerator to be situated within the existing structure. The current combustion
process will be replaced with a complete and more efficient solution in terms of
recovery and end combustion of chemicals. Commercial start-up and take over is
scheduled for summer 2012.
UBE Group is a diversified manufacturer with a core focus on the chemical
sector. With global presence, UBE's chemicals can be found in everything from
digital electronics and consumer goods to automotive parts and pharmaceuticals.
UBE also produces a wide range of products beyond the chemicals sector,
supplying useful materials and goods such as cement, building materials and
aluminum wheels.
Technical information
The new pressure vessel concept will utilize burners at two levels, were fuels
are sprayed into the burning chamber section of the boiler. Combustion air is
then added in a three level air system and the air ports are equipped with
automatic rodding devices for remote operation. The firing technique is
significantly reducing the amount of sodium carbonate carry over in flue gases
and heat is recovered in the heat absorbing surfaces consisting of water
screens, convection, and economizer. The various heat absorption areas are
cleaned by soot blowers. The smelt is discharged to the dissolving tank through
the water cooled smelt spout and the spout is designed for automatic rodding by
Metso's DeckHand, an industrial type robot.
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 28,500 employees in more than 50 countries.
