Start-up for Iggesund's new recovery boiler

June 13 2012  Iggesund Paperboard’s new recovery boiler and turbine is set to start at Iggesund mill in Sweden. At almost 240 million Euros, this is the mill’s largest investment ever.

The new recovery boiler at Iggesund mill, supplied by Andritz, is built to withstand higher pressure than any other recovery boiler in Europe. This increased pressure makes it possible to generate more electricity. The new turbine should be able to supply 520 Gwh per year, and in the longer term also make Iggesund mill completely self-sufficient in electricity.“It feels terrific that the project has come to a successful conclusion, and that we’ve done so within the projected time frames,” comments Björn Kvick, Head of Iggesund Paperboard.Concurrently with the investment in its recovery boiler in Sweden, Iggesund Paperboard is also investing 123 million Euros in a biofuel boiler at the mill in Workington, England. Both investments will help reduce fossil carbon emissions from the mills.
