Print
Helsinki, Finland 12 June 2006 -- Metso Paper will supply a new fiber line to ITC Ltd. for company's pulp mill expansion project in Bhadrachalam, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The pulp mill expansion project forms a part of ITC's plans to increase its paper production. The value of the order is close to EUR 25 million and the line is scheduled to start up in July 2007.

Metso Paper's scope of delivery covers all the main process machinery, pressure vessels, field instruments, basic engineering, and supervision services from cooking, up to ready bleached pulp. The selected technology features a modern, environmentally sound process that uses oxygen delignification and ozone bleaching technologies. After the expansion work has been completed, the daily production of the pulp mill will be 750 bone dry metric tons fully bleached pulp of eucalyptus and Subabul as raw materials.

Metso Paper will also supply an ozone bleaching stage for the existing line. The new cooking system will produce pulp for both fiber lines and is designed for a total daily production of 800 metric tons. The special feature of the process is that it enables simultaneous cooking of two different wood species for the the two fiber lines.

ITC is one of India's foremost private sector companies with a turnover of USD 3 billion. ITC Bhadrachalam Paperboards and Specialty Papers Division is the largest manufacturer of packaging and graphic boards in South Asia.
