Eine wegweisende internationale Investition

Our paper production facility in Nova Campina, São Paulo state, Brazil, is making tremendous strides towards becoming energy self-sufficient – representing a triumph for Klingele’s commitment to international investment. Our investment began in February 2021, when we acquired the Kraftliner paper mill. With over 600 dedicated employees, we are modernising the facility to meet Klingele’s customary high sustainability standards. The facility produces FSC® Mix labelled fresh fibre paper products using locally grown, FSC® Forestry Management and FSC® Controlled Wood certified pine and eucalyptus wood (please see page 60), with a focus on delivering high quality and strength for cardboard production. To improve the air quality and enhance its energy efficiency, in April 2024, we will replace the site’s existing biomass boilers with a state-of-the-art fluidised bed boiler. This boasts steam capacity of 120,000 t/h, operating at a temperature of 495 °C and a pressure of 67 bar. Its design minimises particulate emissions with an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) and has the capability to burn sewage sludge from Nova Campina’s onsite wastewater treatment plant, reducing resource consumption and disposal costs. By equipping the new biomass boiler with an additional 15MW capacity steam turbine, and working alongside the existing steam turbines and hydropower plant, the Nova Campina facility will meet 100 per cent of its electricity demands, through its secure, uninterrupted energy supply.
