Steti mill modernisation and expansion project, Czech Republic
Name of the Project
Steti mill modernisation and expansion project.
Location
Czech Republic.
Client
Mondi.
Project Description
The project entails the installation of a new recovery boiler, the rebuilding of the fibre lines, the debottlenecking of the paper machines and investing in a new 90 000 t/y machine-glazed kraft paper machine.
Key benefits of the project are:
• increased electricity self-sufficiency, lower energy costs and reduced environmental footprint of the mill;
• increased pulp production of 130 000 t/y, and lower pulp-production costs per tonne;
• debottlenecking of existing packaging paper machines, providing total incremental production of 55 000 t/y additional capacity to produce 90 000 t/y of machine-glazed kraft paper to supply fast-growing end-uses in flexible packaging and food service applications; and
• avoiding maintenance capital expenditure over the next five years of about €105-million.
Jobs to be Created
