Kvaerner Power Wins Boiler Contracts for UPM Paper Mills
UPM will build power plants with bioenergy production at their paper mills in northeastern Wales, UK and in northwestern France near Paris. Both mills produce newsprint paper based on recycled fiber. Instead of landfilling, the unusable part of recycled paper will be burned with an advanced combustion technology and used for renewable energy production for the mills. UPM is a leading biofuel user in the world, with approximately 60% of their fuel amount being biofuels. The new investments will further increase the biofuel usage. Kvaerner Power will deliver power boilers using bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology to both mills. The boilers have steam capacities of 82 megawatt (MW) each. The two new power boiler orders from UPM follow only a month after the previous order to Kvaerner Power for UPM's Rauma paper mill in Finland, for the supply of a power boiler with 107 MW steam capacity.
