The new plant is the result of the need to revise the energy structure of the site in order to achieve the efficiency and sustainability goals to which SAPPI has adhered with its "3P’s" project - Prosperity, People, Planet, aimed at accelerating de-carbonisation and increasing the energy and economic efficiency of its plants.

The new plant replaces the existing steam boilers in the paper mill with two cogeneration units and one auxiliary steam generation unit, in line with the following scheme:

· Section 1 - Centrax CX-300 2S 8.4 Mwe generating unit, with recovery steam generator and post firing
· Section 2 - Innio J624 GS 4.4 Mwe power-generating module, with steam generator and hot water recovery system
· Auxiliary steam generating unit (back-up), 2 Bono/Cannon boiler – 17,5 Ton/h each one
Our team, in support of TEP Energy Solution S.r.l., has implemented a complete service program offering support during the design, construction and operation stages of the new plants:
• Pre-completion profile and energy configuration analysis • Data collection, surveys and site analysis • Feasibility studies and preliminary draft • Assistance with the authorization process • Project design & Project and Procurement Management • Construction Management • Commissioning & Start-up
The 10-year agreement with TEP also includes the O & M services for the new plant. Services will be activated following the commissioning schedule of plant generation units until the end of 2021.
