Kvaerner Power, has been awarded new paper and pulp industry orders totalling EUR 75 million: boilers and evaporators will be supplied to clients in Canada, USA and Sweden

The Aker Kvaerner subsidiary Kvaerner Power has been awarded new orders for a total of EUR 75 million from clients in Canada, USA and Sweden These new orders include a total of two new boilers, three boiler conversions and two rebuilds to evaporation plants

The international forest products company Weyerhaeuser Co has ordered a recovery boiler for its Grande Prairie pulp mill in Alberta, Canada.

The recovery boiler rated at 2170 tons dry solids/day and steam parameters of 510C and 103bar, will be designed for maximum power generation.

The boiler will be completed in early 2007.

The Grande Prairie mill is one of the eleven Weyerhaeuser pulp mills, and produces annually 340,000 tons of air dried paper grade pulps, specialty pulps and bleached sulphate market pulp.

Kvaerner Power is to deliver a large power boiler using circulating fluidised bed (CFB) technology to a customer in the Southeastern part of the USA.

The boiler thermal capacity is 300 megawatt (MW) and the main fuels are petroleum coke and bark.

The boiler will be ready for start-up in 2007.

Swedish Billerud AB has ordered three power boiler conversions to their pulp and paper mills in Gruvön, Karlsborg and Skärblacka.

Kvaerner Power will convert the existing grate boilers to modern bubbling fluidised bed (BFB) technology to burn biomass.

Start-up of the boilers will be at the end of 2005.

Billerud is investing around EUR 115 million in the energy field and will increase its internal generation of electricity and cut oil consumption by two thirds as biofuels are used instead of oil.

The investment will also have positive environmental effects, such as reduced carbon dioxide emissions.

Smurfit Munksjö Aspa Bruk AB in Sweden has ordered an evaporation plant upgrade for its Aspa Bruk mill.

Kvaerner Power will supply three new effects and a new stripper to the existing plant.

The capacity of the evaporation plant will be increased to 250 tons of water per hour.

Start-up will be in autumn 2005.

Rottneros AB in Sweden has ordered a concentrator rebuild to its evaporation plant in Vallviks Bruk mill using concentrator technology from Kvaerner Power.

Start-up will be in the autumn of 2005.
