Recycle Plant Upgrade
Industry Type: Pulp and Paper
Project Description: Recycle Plant Upgrade
Disciplines Involved: Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Civil, Process
This project involved a recycle plant that produces 1,000 tons per day of linerboard and corrugating medium utilizing old corrugated containers and mixed office waste. The complete recycle facility was upgraded to provide increased production and improved pulp quality. The upgrades included the resizing of process pumps, piping systems, and stock storage chests. System modifications included pulper rotor and drive modifications, and the addition of detrashing, screening, cleaning and refining equipment. All modifications were made with a minimum interruption to production.
