Turbogenerators Supplied by Siemens Will Provide About 180MW Surplus, Sufficient to Supply a City with 2.3 Million Inhabitants for a Month!

Siemens Energy was the company chosen by Suzano, a global reference in the manufacture of bioproducts developed from eucalyptus cultivation, to manufacture turbogenerators and provide the entire integrated energy solution at the new pulp mill that the company is building in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso do Sul, and promises to create over 10,000 jobs! 

According to Siemens, the scope includes the delivery of the complete energy generation, distribution, and management solution to power the entire plant, which will have an installed capacity to produce 2.55 million tons of pulp annually. 

Turbogenerators Will Be Produced in Factories in Germany and Jundiaí (SP), Before Heading to the Suzano Plant.

The energy generation will be done through three SST-600 model turbogenerators, which convert steam from boilers that burn waste from the pulp manufacturing process into electrical energy. These equipment will be part of one of the most eco-efficient plants in terms of carbon emissions in the country. 

In addition, due to being high-efficiency equipment, the turbines will provide a large surplus of energy, allowing the plant to supply and sell to the Grid. The expectation is that about 180MW surplus will be generated, sufficient to supply a city with 2.3 million inhabitants for a month. With delivery expected in 2024, the turbogenerators will be produced in factories in Germany and Jundiaí (SP) before heading to the Suzano plant.

The solutions from Siemens Energy for this project also include remote monitoring and management software that allows the forecasting of possible failures and technical stops in an assertive manner. The program checks equipment trends – a possible increase in temperature or vibration – and, through a mathematical model based on the history of similar machines around the world, the system avoids the need for long stops in the equipment. 

The predictive monitoring system allows, for example, to postpone a major intervention on the equipment, as predicted in the manual, from 6 to 12 years, even synchronizing them with a general plant shutdown, minimizing the loss of equipment usage. 

For the flow of generated energy, the scope also includes the installation of 108 switchgears for energy distribution to the plant, which will be accompanied by an energy management system (EMS), as well as load synchronization and rejection systems that will be responsible for the electrical supply of the main processing areas of the project.

“The choice of Siemens Energy for the supply of solutions in this pioneering project of Suzano reinforces our ability to execute and the diversity of our portfolio to deliver customized solutions that drive energy efficiency sustainably,” celebrates Murilo Sgobbi Teixeira, Sales Manager of the Generation area of Siemens Energy in Latin America.

Construction Works of the New Pulp Mill of Suzano Will Generate About 10 Thousand Direct Jobs, Besides Thousands of Indirect Jobs.

Announced to the market in November 2021, the new pulp mill of Suzano in Ribas do Rio Pardo is receiving a total investment of R $19.3 billion and is considered the most efficient of the company due to the low level of carbon emissions expected after the start of operations. During the peak of the works, about 10,000 direct jobs are expected to be generated, in addition to thousands of indirect jobs. Once completed, the new mill will employ around 3,000 people, including direct employees and third parties.
