Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Ltd. (MHPS) will provide a 97-megawatt steam turbine power-generation system to be used to process pulp and paper production in a Sumatra, Indonesia, mill.

The generation system will be used by the pulp and paper mill as an in-house power source, according to an MHPS press release. The low-pressure steam will help supply the mill's production with a back pressure turbine to supply low-pressure steam and generate power, the release said.
