Cadmatic and SCA Packaging Obbola AB enter an agreement on a Cadmatic 3D Plant Design System
SCA Packaging Obbola AB will apply Cadmatic 3D system in future plant and construction projects. "We do not have a new plant project under way at present, so at first our design engineers will model an existing plant as an educational project. The modelling will require a lot of work related to administration, adaptation and project management. "Later on, in connection with a new construction project, the design engineers will be able to employ the design tools and to co-operate with consultant engineers who are used to working with Cadmatic systems.
Most of the liner produced in Obbola is sold to Western European companies manufacturing corrugated board, corrugated cases and other packaging materials. Approximately 80 percent of the production is exported. The UK, Germany and Sweden constitute three major market areas."
Cadmatic was used in designing a new recovery boiler for the Södra Cell pulp mill at Värö
The Swedish forest industry group SÖDRA is investing SEK 650M in a new recovery boiler at the Värö pulp mill. The new boiler will reduce environmentally harmful discharges and enhance the possibilities to increase production. This is the largest single investment in the whole history of the mill. Cadmatic 3D plant design software is employed in the design of the new boiler, which will be commissioned in summer 2002.
In this project, both the end customer and the supplier of the recovery boiler, Andritz Ahlstrom, have Cadmatic 3D browser versions at their disposal. People at Södra Cell can download 3D models to their workstations for inspection, so there is no need to transfer large numbers of documents. This makes management of documentation more effective throughout the project. In addition to designing the piping outside the boiler itself, Elomatic is in charge of integrating the designs made by other sub-contractors into the Cadmatic model. The Värö pulp mill project is the third recovery boiler project for the designers at Elomatic's office in Jyväskylä.
"I am myself used to "reading" two-dimensional drawings, but for an untrained person a 3D model is much more illustrative, says Sepp Dirscher", Project Manager at Södra Cell. The recovery boiler is the largest single unit of a pulp mill. The boiler is used to recover chemicals and digest the pulp. The surplus energy generated by the boiler can be used in the pulping process. The new recovery boiler at Värö pulp mill is built next to the old one, which will be shut down as soon as the new boiler is commissioned. The Värö pulp mill started up in 1972 and its annual production capacity is 315,000 tonnes.
The new paper machine at Holmen Hallsta Paper Mill at the final straight
Holmen Paper AB, has used Cadmatic design tools in a project in which the old paper machine at Hallstavik will be replaced by a new one. Engineering company Jaakko Pöyry AB (JP Projektteknik AB) is one of the companies involved in the design work in this project, which started in 2000. The new paper machine will be commissioned in April 2002. Holmen Paper has acquired Cadmatic browser and data retrieval licences.
A total renovation of the Hallsta Paper Mill is the goal in this project. The old paper machine, PK11, will be replaced by a new one. The old machine produces 330,000 tonnes of improved special newsprint and magazine paper per year. The speed of the new paper machine will be phenomenal: up to 1,850 meters of paper a minute! The total annual capacity of the four paper machines at Hallsta Paper Mill is 800,000 tonnes.
M-real has used Cadmatic in a number of renovation projects
In the late 1990s, major renovation projects were carried out at M-real's paper mills at Husum, Sweden (MoDo Paper), using the Cadmatic 3D software. Three companies, YIT, Calnova Ingenjörer AB of Umeå, Sweden (a member of Calor Group), and Elomatic were in charge of the design work. The work was distributed between the design teams in Husum, Umeå and Turku.
OKG AB chose Cadmatic for the modernisation of the nuclear power plant at Oskarshamn
In the mid-1990s, the Swedish power company OKG AB decided to use Cadmatic software for the modernisation of the nuclear power plant at Oskarshamn. OKG AB has carried out a number of projects using Cadmatic. Many engineering companies, including Råbe Industrikonsult, Elajo Engineering AB and ABB Atom, currently known as Westinghouse, have used Cadmatic software in projects commissioned by OKG.
OKG AB owns three nuclear reactor units, which together account for more than 10 per cent of the total electricity generated in Sweden. OKG is also responsible for operating CLAB, the interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel from all the nuclear power plants in Sweden. All three reactors at the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant are 100 percent Swedish design from ABB Atom. This type of reactor is known as the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) or Light Water Reactor (LWR).
Swedish pharmaceutical industry counts on Cadmatic 3D design
In Sweden, the Cadmatic 3D plant design system is frequently used by the pharmaceutical and food industry. Pharmacia and AstraZeneca are among the end customers. Pharmacia has co-operated with Elomatic for years, and the companies share a history of about 20 common projects. One of the largest is the Vitzon project in which a new production unit for the purification of blood products was designed for the Pharmacia plasma unit in Stockholm.
