[Suez] 브라질 종이회사와 수처리 플랜트 건설 계약

Suez 자회사인 Degremont는 두 개의 수처리 플랜트의 엔지니어링, 조달, 건설을 위해 브라질 최대의 종이생산, 수출업자인 Klabin과 4천80만 달러 규모의 계약을 체결했다고 밝혔다.

Klabin은 Ortigueira에 27억2천 달러 규모의 Greenfield Kraft 펄프 공장을 건설하고 있다. 새로운 플랜트의 생산은 2016년 1분기에 시작할 것으로 예상된다. 공장은 단섬유 1천100만 톤과 장섬유 40만톤을 포함하여 일년에 1천500만 톤의 생산량을 갖는다. 펄프 산업의 주요 문제는 지속적인 생산과 운영조정을 보증하기 위해 믿을 수 있는 물 요구에 의존한다는 점이다. 수 처리 시설의 고품질 서비스와 신뢰성 보증에 밀접하게 연관되어 있다.

Degremont, a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, has been awarded a €30-million ($40.8-million) contract for the engineering, procurement and construction of two water treatment facilities for Klabin, the largest paper producer, exporter and recycler in Brazil, with strong involvement in the pulp and paper industry.

Klabin is building a 2-billion ($2.72-billion) Greenfield Kraft pulp mill in Ortigueira (Parana State), located south of Brazil, known as the Puma Project. Production of the new plant is forecasted to start the first quarter of 2016.

The mill will have an annual production capacity of 1.5 million tons, of which 1.1 million tons will include short fiber and 400,000 tons will consist of long fiber -- partly to be converted into fluff pulp.

The main challenges for the pulp and paper industry rely in guaranteeing water needs to ensure the continuity of production and adapting operations according to market fluctuation while still ensuring reliability and high-level quality services for water treatment.

As such, in order to meet these high quality and quantity water needs, Degremont will also provide a process water plant, equipped with the Densadeg® technology followed by Aquazur® filters, as well as a boiler feedwater plant equipped with Ion Exchange Process.

With an hourly capacity of 5,900 m3 for the process water plant and 600 m3 for the boiler feed, the new facilities are planned to begin operations in October 2015.
