PARAT Delivers First High Voltage Electrode Boiler to Australia — Boyer Paper Mill
Boyer Paper Mill, located in Tasmania, Australia, is a major producer of publication and specialty paper products. To support continuous industrial production, the mill required a reliable and high-capacity steam solution. Parat Halvorsen has been selected to deliver a 60 MW high-voltage electrode steam boiler, designed for operation at 22 kV and 25 barg. The boiler is supplied together with a 3.3 MW superheater, enabling the production of superheated steam to meet the mill’s specific process requirements.
Customer: Boyer Paper Mill
Location: Tasmania, Australia
Delivery: 60 MW High Voltage Electrode Boiler + 3.3 MW Superheater
Voltage: 22 kV
Pressure: 25 barg
Type: Steam
STRENGTHENING INDUSTRIAL STEAM PRODUCTION IN AUSTRALIA
The 60 MW electrode boiler, combined with a 3.3 MW superheater, is engineered to deliver stable and precisely controlled superheated steam. This ensures high energy content, improved steam quality and reliable performance - essential factors in paper production, where steam stability directly impacts product quality and process efficiency.
Designed for integration into Boyer Paper Mill's existing infrastructure, the boiler will support continuous steam production while enabling flexible operation aligned with plant requirements.
High-voltage electrode boilers from PARAT offer:
• Rapid start-up and load adjustment
• High efficiency
• Low local emissions
• Reduced mechanical complexity compared to conventional fuel-based systems
«The installation of a Parat Electrode Boiler is an important step for the Boyer Paper Mill to decarbonise steam production and secure the sustainability of the process into the future. The Parat Boiler offers us an efficient and compact 60MW steam boiler which can be integrated into existing our infrastructure. Execution of this important decarbonisation project has been made possible with the support of grant funding received from the Australian Federal Government.»
- Brad Arnold, Engineering Lead at Boyer Paper Mill
EXPANDING INTO THE AUSTRALIAN MARKET
With this delivery to Tasmania, Parat Halvorsen takes an important step in its expansion into the Australian market. The project reflects growing demand for high-capacity electric steam solutions in industrial applications and demonstrates how proven electric boiler technology can meet the demands of heavy industry while supporting operational stability and long-term performance.
Parat Halvorsen is proud to enter the Australian market in collaboration with Boyer Paper Mill and looks forward to supporting industrial partners in the region with reliable, high-capacity steam solutions.
