Graz, November 16, 2009. International technology Group ANDRITZ will
supply and install a High Energy Recovery Boiler (HERB) and an
evaporation plant for CMPC´s pulp mill in Laja, Chile. The supply
also includes the complete instrumentation, control system, and
electrification for the processes delivered. The total value of this
order is approximately 100 MEUR. Start-up is scheduled for early
2012.

The new High Energy Recovery Boiler supplied by ANDRITZ PULP & PAPER
has a capacity of 2,500 tds/d and will maximize the production of
green electricity and steam for CMPC´s Laja pulp mill. The High Dry
Solids Evaporation Plant (560 t/h), which is designed to produce
clean condensates, will fully recycle these condensates back to the
mill processes, and lower the mill´s water consumption.

This order is part of an energy efficiency investment by CMPC to make
the Laja pulp mill self-sufficient in green energy and allowing for a
long-term production of 460,000 adt/a. In addition, this investment
will lower the mill´s air and effluent emissions.
