Electrifying the world's largest pulp mill
A new pulp mill to be built in South Sumatra, Indonesia, is claimed will be the world’s largest and ABB has received an order for the delivery of its process electrification. The annual production capacity of the new pulp mill will be more than 2 million tonnes of pulp. Commercial operation will begin in 2016.
“ABB’s vast pulp and paper industry knowledge and project execution capabilities were important factors in winning this order. We are happy to be part of such a prestigious project and will deploy the latest technologies to maximise mill efficiency and reliability, while minimising environmental impact,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division.
The project will be managed by ABB’s unit in Vaasa, Finland, in cooperation with ABB in Singapore. The company will deliver medium- and low-voltage switchgears, distribution transformers, motors, drives and project services.
ABB has decades of experience in global deliveries to the pulp and paper industries. Similar projects have been carried out to customers in Asia, Africa, Australia and South America, the most recent being the Stora Enso/Arauco pulp mill in Uruguay.
