Scope of the work includes designing and engineering the plant, supplying equipment and materials including Jacobs’ proprietary Chemetics equipment, and providing technical services for plant erection, operator training, commissioning and testing.
Once complete, the plant is expected to produce 60 tons of chlorine dioxide per day.
Jacobs executive vice-president Andy Kremer said, "We are pleased to leverage our experience with many pulp mill clients in Asia to support CMPC on this project."
"This is our first integrated chlorine dioxide plant supplied within South America, and we look forward to working with CMPC to help them achieve competitive advantage through our integrated process, which offers the lowest-cost method of producing chlorine dioxide available," Kremer added.
