The company GEA delivers two CF 8000 decanters to ITC Paperboards and Specialty Papers Division in Bhadrachalam, India. The GEA decanters will support ITC’s modernization and new construction project.
The Paperboards and Specialty Papers Division of ITC is one of the leading company in the paper and board industry in South Asia. Modern recovery boilers are being installed at the site to improve the ash handling process. Two new CF 8000 decanters from GEA are key components of the ash leaching stage of a modern Chemical Recovery Boiler.
The modern chemical recovery boilers are not only an integral part of the pulp recovery process, but also generate electricity and steam for the entire mill. This project is being carried out by Valmet, one of the the world’s leading developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries. Valmet, in turn, had contracted GEA to supply the CF 8000 decanters as part of this overall project.
GEA has already delivered the two CF 8000 decanters. They were initially installed in a first step to support the three existing, old recovery boilers. When the new boiler is ready, the ash leaching system including the two CF 8000 decanters will be connected to it. The installation of the GEA decanters that has taken place so far is therefore initially an interim solution, but one that will allow ITC to continue production without disruption and without interruption.
