1 Jun 2010
London – Aker Solutions has signed an $18m contract with Ilim Group to supply an integrated chlorine dioxide plant for Ilim’s pulp mill project in Bratsk, Russia. The contract covers the supply of technology, engineering, equipment, site and commissioning services from Aker’s office in Vancouver, Canada, with support from its office in Moscow.
The 15 tonne/day integrated chlorine dioxide plant is due for commissioning in 2012, and will complement Ilim’s $700 million project to build a new, modern 720,000 tonnes/year pulp line at Ilim Group’s existing Bratsk Mill.
The plant will employ Aker Solutions’ proprietary integrated chlorine dioxide process technology, which has been adopted by pulp mills around to world to gain production cost advantages, and to reduce their dependence on external chemical suppliers.
