Cooperation with Russian Ilim Group

CTS Engtec has a 40-year long history in paper and board mill modernizations. During the past year the specialists of the company have been involved in two board machine rebuilds in M-real´s mills. CTS Engtec is responsible for rebuilds of board machines in Kemiart Liners and Simpele mills and expansion of sheeting plant in Simpele mill. The upgrading project of KU1 in Stora Enso´s Imatra mill was projected also during 2011.

Russia's forest industry has shown a green light to CTS Engtec´s subsidiary, which was established last year in St. Petersburg. The Russian forest giant Ilim Group has approved the company of the planning and engineering partner for Ilim Group's various production plants.

The KU 1 pulp drying machine in Stora Enso's Kaukopää plant in Imatra is being upgraded, with the aim of improving the fibre balance in the production of the Imatra plant. The productive capacity of the drying machine will be increased by about 30% for all pulp types.

CTS Engtec is overseeing the planning of the upgrade process. The project includes process, plant, electric, automation, heating and ventilation, and structural design as well as the project management for the design stage.

The targets of the project include changes to pulp preparation and the wire and press sections, raising the steam pressure of the drying cabinet, the improvement of recirculation fans and ventilation, modification to the sheeter, upgrading of the wrapping machine, modification to the dropping device, updating of the automation system, improvement to the baling line, and upgrading of the bale management and bale storage systems.

The increased drying capacity in turn enables the Imatra chemical pulp mill to improve its overall capacity and minimize production and quality inconsistencies. A more uniform quality of chemical pulp contributes to the reduction of the grammage of the final product. An increase in chemical pulp production will improve the energy consumption of the whole company.

The upgraded pulp dryer will be in use at the end of 2011.
