Company Information 
 
Graz - April 22, 2021. International technology group ANDRITZ has received an 
order from BillerudKorsnäs to supply a HERB recovery boiler for its mill in 
Frövi, Sweden. Start-up is scheduled for the end of 2023. The new boiler will 
replace the existing recovery boiler that has been in operation in Frövi since 
1969. 
 
The ANDRITZ scope of supply includes a HERB recovery boiler designed for the 
current pulp production level, but also to support a future black liquor 
combustion capacity of 1,670 tds/d and with future steam parameters of 100 bar 
and 505°C to maximize power generation. 
 
ANDRITZ will also supply a high-density concentrator solution to increase the 
black liquor concentration. This will improve operation and increase power 
generation by the HERB recovery boiler at Frövi mill even further. 
 
Richard Morén, Mill Director, BillerudKorsnäs Frövi, says: "We have been very 
pleased with the co-operation with ANDRITZ during the sales phase, and selection 
of the recovery boiler supplier is an important step in our Frövi investment 
project. We are looking forward to working in co-operation with the entire 
ANDRITZ team during the project phase." 
 
Henrik Wikstedt, Vice President, Recovery Boilers, ANDRITZ, says: "We are very 
proud that BillerudKorsnäs has placed its trust in the ANDRITZ team and our 
technical solutions. Both the sales process and the collaboration between our 
teams were good right from the beginning. As a result, we have gathered an 
excellent understanding of BillerudKorsnäs' business drivers and targets. We are 
looking forward to this project and to extending our collaboration even 
further."
