Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) will supply four sets of 125 class steam turbines and generators to Asia Pulp & Paper’s new pulp mill in South Sumatra, Indonesia.
The steam turbines will serve as non-utility power generators to support the new paper mill's operations. In addition, it will also be used in the pulp and paper production processes.
Shipments of the equipment on order are slated to commence in September 2015. The order will be delivered to the site through China National Machinery Import & Export Corporation (CMC), a state-owned enterprise under direct supervision of China's central government. CMC is planning to provide auxiliary machinery and piping services in the building housing the steam turbines.
Two of the four steam turbines will be assembled at and shipped from MHPS's Yokohama Works and the remaining two at Qingdao Jieneng Steam Turbine Group, a joint venture partner located in China's Shandong Province.
The Indonesian pulp and paper producer is expected to invest approximately EUR 2 billion to build the world’s largest pulp mill in the country.
