The Power Boiler also known as the biomass boiler, is part of a circuit that supports the manufacture of cellulose. Its operation ensures the production of steam used for energy production and also as a heating source for the industrial process. The boiler uses as fuel the residues from the chip preparation area. The wood chips are chopped and processed, these become fuel for the boiler’s controlled combustion, which heats water, generating steam. Directed to turbines, the steam generates electrical energy capable of supplying the mill.
The Power Boiler is combined with the Recovery Boiler to form a Boiler Island, where some auxiliary equipment is shared between the two boilers, providing savings in investment and operating costs. The fuels used in the Recovery Boiler will be bark and wood rejects from the mill.
For the project in question, the contracted service is related to the electromechanical assembly of the Power Boiler and Recovery Boiler and all auxiliary equipment.
