Improved efficiency leads to less overall energy use which in turn means the lowering of carbon footprint. In the search for improvements in white liquor plant operations ANDRITZ has developed a uniquely simplified and ultimately more efficient technology, LimeDry-H, for improved lime mud feeding.
The LimeDry-H system has seen a number of improvements including the implementing of a hollow central shaft (which means no vacuum tank is required), central shaft axial movement, a better precoat renewal system and improved maintainability. The new system also has the option for the latest in ANDRITZ autonomous white liquor plant solutions.
The improvements to the new system have resulted in a more homogeneous lime mud feed to the lime kiln. This means more efficient drying resulting in the decreasing of emissions across the whole process. Additionally there are water savings of up to 60%.
In this podcast we talk to ANDRITZ white liquor plant experts, Ville Seppänen, Sales Manager, Kalle Rekola, Product Manager, and Airi Antikainen, Product Owner, SMART Products about the advantages and benefits LimeDry-H brings to operations.

You can witness the remarkable evolution of servicing and maintenance in the automotive industry when you consider how far it has advanced over the past few decades. Breakdowns by the roadside have become increasingly rare, primarily because vehicle manufacturers have established clear service agreements and schedules to ensure that cars remain on the road. This approach to maintenance has now been adopted by pulp and paper mills across Europe.
Less unscheduled stoppages and breakdowns equals better overall efficiency which in turn results in much more effective use of raw materials and energy. This all adds up to improved sustainability at pulp and paper mills, as well as valuable cost savings.
In this podcast we talk to two ANDRITZ experts in the field of maintenance, Ismo Ihalainen, Global Product Manager and Synergy Product Director and Marcio Wagner, Maintenance Director, Asset management, and Iberian Business Manager. Find out how scheduled maintenance can increase the lifetime of equipment at pulp and paper mills, while simultaneously boosting efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint.

Often described as the “beating heart” of a pulp mill, the recovery boiler has come a long way since it was first invented nearly 100 years ago. Although recovery boilers carry out a virtually irreplaceable function at pulp mills, including the recovering inorganic chemicals, burning organic chemicals and recovering heat for generating energy, there is still work to be done when it comes to emissions - especially NOx emissions.
In general, emissions from the recovery boiler have decreased substantially over the last decades, for instance CO2, dust and sulfur emissions, however in the case of NOx emissions new technology has been required.
In this podcast we find out how ANDRITZ has developed its new "Lo-NOx" Low Emission Recovery Boiler concept. Hear from ANDRITZ experts Hamilton Brandao, Technology Director Recovery Boilers, Naveen Chenna, Director Research & Innovation Recovery and Power Side Streams and Kasper Skriver, Global Product Manager ESP, about the pilot trials and successful launching of the latest recovery boiler concept as part of the CircleToZero initiative.

There is no halfway when it comes to circularity at paper mills, you have to go the whole way to complete the circle. This is why ANDRITZ has been closely working with the Montanuniversität Leoben on deep research into making paper machine clothing circular.
Paper machine clothing is mainly made of PET, which has been generally burned after use to generate energy in power plants or used for other purposes such as barriers under roads and pathways or fence edgings. However, these methods of disposing are considered borderline when it comes to the ecology.
Therefore, ANDRITZ has been working closely with institutions to cover the complete value chain from the production of materials for paper machine clothing to the manufacturing, logistics of waste collection and the sorting and reprocessing of the materials involved.
In this podcast we hear from experts Jan Freudenberg, Director R&D Forming Fabrics Global, ANDRITZ, and Dipl. Ing. Uta Jenull, Chair for Polymer Processing at the Montanuniversität Leoben about the complicated work involved in making paper machine clothing circular.

ANDRITZ is stepping up its activities to not only reduce CO2 emissions, but also capture existing emissions for either storage or for further use in added value applications.
The latest solutions developed feature highly efficient and well integrated energy cycles, especially for industrial customers, including pulp and paper mills. As well as capturing the emissions, the technology also delivers the CO2 at the required purity and pressure for further applications.
The ANDRITZ CO2 capturing technology opens up exciting opportunities for the pulp and paper industry since its CO2 is considered to be from biogenic origin, which, due to its high level of purity, can be used within the pulp mill or utilised for the production of e-fuels, e-methane, or green ammonia.
In this podcast we speak to ANDRITZ experts, Harald Reissner, Division Manager Air Pollution Control, and Klaus Bärnthaler, VP Air Pollution Control, about new, exciting possibilities with the capture of CO2.
