Lithuania’s Grigeo Group has started-up a Toscotec-supplied energy saving upgrade at its Grigeo tissue mill in, Grigiskes.
The TT SteamBooster was implemented into the hood and steam systems of the company’s PM6, a Toscotec-supplied AHEAD tissue line that came online in 2015.
The TT SteamBooster recovers heat from the hood’s exhaust air to generate high pressure steam using the condensate coming from the Steel Yankee Dryer.
Targets achieved: 25% energy savings and carbon reduction
According to supplier Toscotec, the TT SteamBooster cut the boiler’s gas consumption by up to 25%, ensuring a reduction of the associated carbon emissions.
Almantas Tamošiūnas, General Manager of UAB Grigeo Tissue, said: “We are pleased to
announce that our reduction and emissions-saving targets were achieved in the very first month after start-up.”
Founded in 1823, Grigeo Group is the only paper and wood industry company group in Lithuania and one of the largest in the Baltic countries.
Grigeo Tissue produces 70,000tpy of tissue products, which are also exported to 19 countries.
