KWI supply biggest horizontal Megacell yet  built to international tissue manufacturer.

KWI engineers have successfully designed and installed the biggest horizontal Megacell built to date to meet a requirement fro man international customer to treat tissue machine white-water. The Megacell H80 is designed to treat 960m3/hr process water with a suspended solids level of 5-600mg/l utilising partial flow pressurisation. The use of partial flow pressurisation is something pioneered by KWI and helps to keep capital costs minimised as the size of the equipment is smaller than when conventional recycle flow pressurisation is used. The unit uses flocculants and, when required, coagulants.

The biggest horizontal Megacell design prior to this unit could treat 720 m3/hr. The MCH 80 is a very compact design and fitted into the available space better than competitor’s equipment. The use of cold rolled stainless steel for the patented ‘U’ element design was considered a better long-term solution than competitor’s plants using plastic lamellas. Detailed technical discussions with the customer ensured confidence with KWI’s design and capabilities.

Aerated water was provided using a KWI Air Dissolving Tube (ADT) 3500 linked with a conventional centrifugal pump. The design of the mixing zone between the aerated water and process water was given special attention to ensure good mixing without risking breaking the flocs formed by the addition of polyelectrolytes  - a common problem with some DAF installations.

The unit was delivered to the customer’s mill on three 12 m trucks and installed by three KWI engineers within 3 working days.

Start up went smoothly and the MCH 80 is meeting all process guarantees after being commissioned in January 2008.

International Paper Equipment Company signed contract with
KOREKO KWI for Water Clarifying Systems

Swetogorsk: International Paper (Ranks No. 1 in Forest and Paper Products On FORTUNE's 2006 List of America's Most Admired Companies) signed contract with KOREKO KWI to design, fabricate and deliver Equipment for BCTMP effluent treatment with chemicals and excess biological sludge dewatering including flotation of the filters backwash water and sludge & separation and dewatering of the excess sludge from existing WWTP.
International Paper was found in 1898 and is now the world's largest paper and forest products company. Its core businesses include paper, packaging and forest products.

In 1998 International Paper bought a subsidiary at Svetogorsk Paper Mill. They decided to invest 65Mio $ in the Svetogorsk facility.

The Svetogorsk Mill is an integrated pulp and paper mill about 140km from St. Petersburg in Russia and only a short distance from the Finish border.

The goal of the project is to treat the effluents of the new BCTMP mill and also the effluent of the existing WWTP.

For this reason the International Paper Svetogorsk Paper Mill will receive from KOREKO KWI during the period of End 2005 until Middle 2006 the following Waste Water Treatment equipment:

• 2 MEGACELL MCV 60.4 for 276m³/h each at 2500kg/h solid loading
• 2 SEDICELL 65 for 340m³/h each at 3400kg/h solid loading
• 1 MEGACELL MCV 30 for 250m³/h at 450kg/h solid loading
• 1 SEDICELL SDC 49 for 79m³/h at 790kg/h solid loading
• 12 AERATION TURBINES with 110 kW Gear Motors for 12x260 kg O2/h
• A Number of AIR DISSOLVING TUBES
• A Number of SS Tanks
• 4 CHAMBER FILTER PRESSES with MEMBRANE PLATES
• 2 Rotating Drum Screans
• A Number of Pumps and Compressors, Flowmeters, pH -, Temperature and Conductivity Measurement Systems, Piping and Valves
• Chemical Preparation Units and Pumps for the Floatation Units
• Switchboards to control the single equipment
  

All the equipment is fabricated in SS 316 and SS 304.
