BMH Technology has signed a contract with Saica Paper France for the delivery and installation of a combined biomass fuel and paper rejects handling plant in Nogent-sur-Seine, France. The system will process waste wood collected from the surrounding 150 kilometers as well as use the pulper and fibrous rejects from the paper mill process.
The main driver for the project is to reduce the consumption of natural gas, which is a major source of emissions and represents a significant portion of production costs. The expected reduction in natural gas consumption is almost 89%, which equals nearly 50,000 tons and 79% less CO2 emissions every year. In addition, the land-filling of 50,000 tons of process by-products per year will be avoided.
The delivery by BMH includes design, manufacture, erection, and commissioning of a complete fuel handling system. It consists of a receiving station, a fuel quality control system, an intermediate 3,700 m3 waste wood storage silo and a centralized dust removal system.
The system will be delivered and installed in 2024 and the facility will be taken over in 2025.
Saica Group is one of the leading companies in Europe in the manufacture of recycled paper for corrugated board, with an annual production capacity of 3.3 million tons of recycled paper for corrugated board.
BMH Technology is one of the global leaders in sustainable waste refining and solid biofuel handling systems. |
