Combined Heat and Power - Recycled Paper - New-Indy Containerboard - Case Study
New-lndy Containerboard operates four mills producing 750,000 tons of recycled containerboard per year. New-lndy`s mills receive more than 100 truckloads of old corrugated cardboard (OCC) daily. This material is cleaned, reduced to a slurry and then reformed to create new containerboard. The recycled paper is then sent to box plants throughout local markets. Each of their California locations have combined heat and power (CHP) plants that provide all of the mill`s electrical power and also supply power to thousands of Southern California homes through their partnership with Southern California Edison.
- OWNER: New-Indy Containerboard
- LOCATION: Ontario, California, USA
- PRODUCT: Two Titan™ 130 (15 MWe) Gas Turbine Generator Sets with SoLoNOx™
- CUSTOMER VALUE: Energy Savings, Resiliency
New-lndy previously owned and operated a CHP plant that provided steam and power to the existing paper mill facility and to the new box plant adjacent to the main plant. The existing CHP plant was at the end of its service life. Due to the increased maintenance cost environmental fees and changes in environmental regulations, New-lndy decided to upgrade their existing CHP plant with a new, efficient, resilient and environmentally-friendly system. The new upgraded CHP plant uses natural gas for all operations to produce power and steam. The two new Titan™ 130 gas turbines from Solar are fitted with our SoLoNOx™ emissions system and will be much cleaner and more efficient than the replaced unit.
