Name of the Project
Project Star.

Location
The project is located in Lençóis Paulista, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

Project Owner/s
Bracell Group.

Project Description
The project will expand the dissolving pulp mill production capacity from 250 000 t/y to 1.5-million tons a year.

The new mill will have a flexible line designed to primarily produce dissolving pulp and will feature best-in-class technology. Among the key innovations is a biorefinery that controls material inputs to maximise recycling, minimises waste and significantly reduces the environmental footprint.

Potential Job Creation
Over a two- to three-year period, Project Star will employ up to 7 500 workers during the peak of the project with an average of about 3 500 workers. On completion, the operation will employ up to 2 100 direct workers and 1 900 outsourced workers permanently in the factory and forestry activities.

Capital Expenditure
The project is estimated at seven-billion reais.

Planned Start/End Date
Construction started in April 2019 and is expected to be completed in 2021.

Latest Developments
Bracell has awarded Andritz a contract to supply energy efficient and environment-friendly pulp production technologies and key process equipment for the project.

Andritz will provide four of the six most important process islands in the pulp mill – the wood processing plant, a high-energy kraft recovery boiler,  fibre lines and an EvoPulp drying system – which are to be supplied on an engineering, procurement, construction and civil construction basis.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
Pöyry (EPCM) and Andritz (pulp production technologies and process equipment).

On Budget and on Time?
Too early to state.
