The scope of supply includes a new eucalyptus debarking and chipping line, equipment for and modifications to the existing fiber line, pulp drying line, and white liquor plant, all supplied on an EPC basis in 2006 by Andritz’s Pulp & Paper business area. The order value amounts to approximately EUR 40 million; start-up of the upgraded line 2 in the Santa Fe mill is scheduled for September 2011. 

The original design capacity of line 2 was 780,000 tons/year. The modification and new equipment will enable CMPC to produce 1,126,000 tons/year of prime grade market pulp.

Andritz received the order to upgrade the existing Andritz recovery boiler necessary to support this capacity increase in October 2009.
