GRAZ, AUGUST 8, 2024. International technology group ANDRITZ has successfully started up a new pulp
mill for the Brazilian pulp producer Suzano in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso do
Sul state. When fully operational, it will be the world’s largest single-line eucalyptus pulp mill
with an annual production capacity of 2.55 million tons. It will also be one of the few pulp mills in
the world to run without fossil fuels, based on a raw material of 100% planted trees. It will be
energy self-sufficient, producing surplus green power for its local suppliers and the national grid.
“This new pulp mill will increase our production capacity while significantly reducing our
environmental impact, supporting our financial and environmental goals. The cutting-edge technologies
applied are in line with our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Trust and reliability are
essential in a project like this, and we found both in our partnership with ANDRITZ,” says Maurício
Miranda, Director of Engineering at Suzano and responsible for the construction of the mill.
ANDRITZ supplied a highly resource-efficient pulp mill with leading technologies for fiber production
and chemical recovery on an EPCC basis (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Civil Works). The
scope of supply included a complete wood processing plant with five chipping lines, the world’s
largest single-line fiberline (capacity over 8,000 adt/d) with unique washing and bleaching
technology based on DD-Washers, an innovative pulp drying system with two energy-efficient pulp
drying lines, an energy-efficient black liquor evaporation plant, a HERB recovery boiler to maximize
steam production for power generation, a biomass power boiler based on the high-performance ANDRITZ
EcoFluid Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) technology, and a complete white liquor plant with
recausticizing plant and two lime kilns.
To enhance the mill’s environmental performance, ANDRITZ is also supplying gasification plants to
enable fossil-free operation of the lime kilns and a SulfoLoop sulfuric acid plant to produce
commercial grade sulfuric acid from the mill’s concentrated odorous gases and elemental sulfur. This
will recycle sulfur from the waste streams and make the mill completely self-sufficient in sulfuric
acid.
“We are honored that Suzano has chosen us as their EPCC partner for the implementation of this
flagship project, using our most advanced technologies for efficiency and circularity,” says ANDRITZ
Executive Board Member Jarno Nymark.
