“Arkhangelsk PPM”, JSC continues the second key project of 2019 - “Construction of a new evaporation station” within the framework of the forest exploitation project “Board production rebuilt”.

By the present moment all evaporators of both liquor lines, NCG recovery boilers, the whole building frame of new evaporation station (ES), boiler house and administrative building (AB) are installed. The concrete roof of the building is installed; now the mounting of the rolled roofing material is in progress at administrative building and boiler house. Wall sandwich-panels, windows and stained glasses are installed; ES hot water heating system is installed and turned on.

Installation of AB and boiler house heating system is going on. The pipelines of large diameters and external service platforms (between the evaporators) are mounted.

Pipelines are being installed inside the building, above the evaporation station and inside the boiler house, as well as the assembly of the cooling tower for recycled water supply.

Installation of tank farm and the laying of intershops communications is in progress.

As previously reported, the overall test of the evaporation station will start in June of this year.

The evaporation capacity of the Valmet Technologies main equipment is 600 tons/hour.

The new evaporation station should evaporate waste red and black liquors, taking into account their buildup at the maximum capacity of the semi-chemical pulp and sulphate pulp cooking shops of board production plant to provide the raw materials for two cardboard machines after their rebuilt.

The unit for the combustion of gases generated during the production process will almost completely eliminate emissions from the new evaporation station and the semi-chemical pulp cooking plant.

The environment will benefit the most from this.

The total cost of the main equipment and construction and installation works of this investment project of “Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill” amounts to 6.5 billion RUB.
