Gaia I
Chemical and Utilities Recovery Expansion

The project begins with the startup of the wood and chip yard and the start of the commissioning of the new ETA and ETAC. In addition, blowing was carried out in the compressed air lines of the evaporation and recovery boiler and steam lines of the recovery boiler. Training was carried out for process teams of the recovery boiler, evaporation and heat recovery. In progress, planning is being carried out for the commissioning of the other islands, the assembly of the latest equipment, instruments, laying of cables in the areas of causticizing, cooking and washing.

Expansion

  • A new wood yard
  • Recovery boiler Installation
  • New power cogeneration system
  • Interface improvement throughout this system
  • Evaporation and Non Condensable Gas (GNC) treatment expansion
