ANDRITZ completed the world’s largest P-RC APMP production system at Bohui Paper in Jiangsu Province.
ANDRITZ’s P-RC APMP pulping system has received a final acceptance certificate from Jiangsu Bohui Paper Company, Yancheng, Dafeng, China.
With a total capacity of 2,250 tons per day, the system is the largest pulping system in the world.
