The remodelled PM18<br />
The new wood yard<br />
“Impulse“ project<br />
A major NEUSIEDLER investment focus has been “Impulse“, a project aiming<br />
at the complete remodelling of PM18 and a considerable enlargement of the<br />
pulp mill at Ruz˘omberok.<br />
In detail, the project provides <strong>for</strong> a complete reconstruction of PM18 and the<br />
installation of a new slitter and control system, raising the annual paper production<br />
capacity to 290,000 tons. The pulp mill is being expanded to include an<br />
additional cooker and a liquor incineration boiler, and the wood yard is being<br />
rearranged. The annual pulp production capacity will be raised by approximately<br />
140,000 tons to a new annual record of 410,000 tons. While the reconstruction<br />
of PM18 was completed in 2003, the step-wise reconstruction of the pulp mill<br />
will not be finished be<strong>for</strong>e the end of 2004.<br />
The major benefit of this project lies primarily in the considerably improved<br />
environmental per<strong>for</strong>mance of the two mills. The remodelling of PM18 nearly<br />
halved the specific fresh water demand from 15 cubic metres to 8 cubic metres<br />
per ton of paper, which is an international record low.<br />
The reconstruction of the pulp mill will lead to a considerable reduction of<br />
the malodorous organic sulphur emissions that will be collected and burned in<br />
the liquor boiler in the future. In addition, the dust emissions from the lime furnace<br />
will be reduced to a minimum by electrostatic filters and fly-ash precipitators.<br />
The installation of a new ozone bleaching stage will make the mill a<br />
pioneer in terms of organic chlorine compounds. Noise and dust emissions will<br />
be reduced substantially by the partial renewal of the wood yard and the conversion<br />
from pneumatic to band conveyors. The extension of the liquor evaporating<br />
plant to seven stages will lead to a significant increase in energy efficiency.<br />
