Honeywell to provide automation technology for Russian Paper mill

摘要

Honeywell announced recently that it has been selected to provide the process control system for a new pulp mill under construction in the Chita region of southeast Russia - the first greenfield pulp mill to be built in Russia in 35 years. Built and operated by Russian North Star Pulp Industrial Complex LLC, but wholly owned by Chinese firm Heilongjiang Xingbang International Resources Investment Co. Ltd., the new pulp mill will use Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) to run plant operations. The new mill will have an annual capacity of 230,000 tons of unbleached market pulp when fully operational. Start-up is expected in mid-2015. The entire output of the mill will be exported to China to meet the growing demand for paper goods there, including construction material, packaging and other products.
