The main aim of the study was to ensure that the lifetime of the pulp mill’s entire main equipment is guaranteed for the next 40 years. Furthermore, the study sought to improve the operational profit by means of implementing the best available technology.

For the Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper mill in Russia, SAPP Management AG carried out several studies over the past years in the areas of Project Management, Project Execution and Project Development. In 2010, we worked on a cash manufacturing costs reduction project. In 2008, SAPP carried out an energy study where the actual status of energy production and consumption was investigated. Furthermore, an elaboration of measures on energy savings was executed and a future energy concept was developed. From 2005-2006, SAPP carried out the Project Management of the new wood-handling plant, including a new log yard, from a technical and commercial perspective.

For this project, SAPP Management AG developed an energy strategy for the mill, including: energy balance of HV/MV/LV power supply and consumption system, analysis of the actual HV/MV/LV power supply and consumption system (as well as an evaluation of the energy consumption for steam and electricity).
