베올리아(Veolia)는 브라질 중서부의 Tres Lagoas에 위치한 피브리아(Fibria)사의 새 펄프생산라인에서 담수생산, 원수처리, 폐수처리를 위해 3대의 시설을 설치하는 계약을 체결했다. 피브리아는 유칼립투스 펄프 생산을 전문으로 하는 브라질 기업이다.

이번에 베올리아가 체결한 26개월의 EPC 계약은 Horizonte 2 프로젝트에 대한 것으로, 이 프로젝트는 연간 175만 톤의 펄프 생산량을 보유한 Tres Lagoas 시설에 2번째 생산라인을 시공하는 사업까지 포함한다. 시설 확장은 2017년 4분기에 시작될 것으로 예상되며, 확장 후 Mato Grosso do Sul 시설은 연간 305만 톤의 펄프 생산량을 확보하게 된다. 이에 따라 피브리아의 연간 총 펄프 생산량은 모든 시설을 통틀어 현재 530만 톤에서 700만 톤으로 증가할 것으로 보인다.

 

 

 

Through its subsidiary Veolia Water Technologies Brazil, Veolia -- a specialist in optimized resource management -- was awarded a contract to build three units for demineralized water production, raw water treatment and effluent treatment at Fibria's new pulp production line located in Tres Lagoas in Mato Grosso do Sul, a central western state of Brazil.

 

Fibria is a Brazilian forest-based company and specialist in eucalyptus pulp production. The 26-month EPC contract signed with Veolia is for Project Horizonte 2, which involves the construction of a second production line at the Tres Lagoas Unit with annual pulp capacity of 1.75 million tons.

 

After the expansion (the startup of which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2017), the Mato Grosso do Sul unit will reach full annual production capacity of 3.05 million tons of pulp. As a result, Fibria's total annual pulp production capacity, considering all of its units, will increase from the current 5.3 million tons to over 7 million tons. Fibria's total investment in the expansion of Tres Lagoas is equivalent to about $ 2.5 billion.

 

Veolia will design and build the three water treatment units using patented processes. The first unit will use reverse osmosis and condensate polishing to produce 16,600 m3/d of demineralized water to supply the boilers. The second unit will feature the Actiflo® high-rate clarification process combined with TGV filters to treat 185,000 m3/d of raw water before it is used in the pulp production process.

 

Finally, the effluents from the pulp plant will go to a third unit where the AnoxKaldnes™ BAS™ process will be used to treat 166,000 m3/d of wastewater. This last unit will be designed by Veolia business unit Aquaflow, who is specialized in effluent treatment for the pulp & paper industry.

 

The effluent treatment plant was designed to comply with the most stringent environmental standards enforced in Mato Grosso do Sul, ensuring that the discharged water meets the highest levels of quality. All three water treatment units are to be equipped with processes known for providing efficient, stable and robust treatment in a small footprint, reducing construction costs. The opening of the three treatment units is schedule for the fourth quarter of 2017.
