Concept Engineering

Pulp Mill in Central Europe

(2021 – 2023)

The study aimed to transform the integrated mill by eliminating fossil fuels for steam generation, boosting the recovery line capacity to meet new production demands, and significantly reducing operational costs, paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient future.

SAPP’s Scope

Feasibility & pre-engineering:

  • Evaluation of development scenario in feasibility
  • Pre-engineering for:
    • Recovery boiler
    • Biomass boiler
    • Biomass handling
    • Turbine generator
    • Steam distribution
    • Boiler feedwater preparation
  • Investment: >400 mEUR

Energy assessment for Papirnica Vevče d.o.o. (Slovenia)

(2022)

Investigation of the entire mill to determine potential energy savings from production, distribution and consumption sides.

SAPP’s Scope

  • Energy production, distribution and consumption were investigated
  • CO2 emissions were evaluated, and the improvement plan for decarbonization was elaborated
  • Potentials for energy savings were determined

Energy assessment for MM Količevo d.o.o. (Slovenia, 2022)

  • Energy saving potentials were evaluated and benchmarked against the best available technologies
  • Energy production, distribution and consumption were investigated
  • CO2 emissions evaluated and reduction possibilities were defined

Energy assessment for Brigl und Bergmeister GmbH, Niklasdorf (Austria, 2022)

“The energy assessment carried out with SAPP was the starting point for our mill energy saving campaign. A high level of expertise, detailed analysis, and excellent cooperation from SAPP with the factory expert team have shown energy savings over 5 %, which we are in the process of realizing.

Due to the good results, SAPP was commissioned to carry out another energy assessment at the second location in Niklasdorf.”
