Client: Enviroburners Ltd. / ANDRITZ Enviroburners Oy

Enviroburners Ltd. is a Finland-based designer and manufacturer of industrial burner systems and combustion solutions for energy, petrochemical and industrial processing applications. The company became part of the Austria-headquartered ANDRITZ Group, one of the world's leading suppliers of plants, equipment and services for the hydropower, pulp and paper, metals and other industries.

 

▮The Brief

Enviroburners came to us with a specific challenge: combustion engineering documentation destined for end users in multiple international markets, each requiring technically precise, structurally clear translation by specialists who understood the content, not just the language.
Projects spanned multiple years and expanded in scope as the relationship developed:

Enviroburners Oy (pre-acquisition):
EN > Japanese: Operating manuals for the Ichihara installation (Project 1805), AutoCAD documentation, component datasheets, and additional manual batches
EN > French: Manuals for the Grenoble installation (Project 1800 LLT Biomax), EB 1305 manuals
EN > Turkish: IOMS EB1180 Burner and Lance operating manuals, Soma Kolin project
EN > Dutch: User manual for industrial burner system
EN > Slovenian: EB1220 Manual for Ruzomberok installation
 
ANDRITZ Enviroburners Oy (post-acquisition):
EN > Russian: Risk assessment documentation for Ust-Ilimsk installation (EB1945), covering 3540 and Mark 1945 units
EN > Brazilian Portuguese: Operation manual for industrial burner system, gas fired igniter documentation (PA0/PDA0), set values for flare system
EN > Romanian: Enviroburners manuals
 
Total relationship spanning from 2016 through 2021, covering 9 language pairs across multiple installation sites worldwide.
 
▮What the Work Required 

Installation-specific documentation. Each Enviroburners project was tied to a specific installation: Ichihara (Japan), Grenoble (France), Ust-Ilimsk (Russia), Ruzomberok (Slovakia). The translated manuals were not generic product documentation. They were site-specific operating and maintenance documents for systems already installed or being commissioned. Accuracy was not optional; an operator in Ichihara relying on a mistranslated procedure had no fallback.

Combustion engineering terminology across nine language pairs. Burner system documentation carries highly specific terminology: ignition systems, flame detection, fuel train components, safety interlocks, purge cycles, combustion air ratios. These terms do not always have direct equivalents in target languages, particularly Japanese and Russian, where engineering vocabulary has developed along different industrial traditions. We assigned translators with verifiable energy sector and industrial engineering backgrounds to each language pair.

 

Safety documentation as a distinct content type. Risk assessments, safety interlocks and emergency procedures within the Ust-Ilimsk documentation required additional scrutiny: warning language, hazard classifications and numerical thresholds were treated as zero-tolerance content. Any deviation from source meaning in safety-critical passages was flagged for re-review before delivery.

Continuity across acquisition. When Enviroburners became ANDRITZ Enviroburners, the project relationship continued without interruption. The terminology assets, specialist assignments and workflow protocols built during the Enviroburners Oy phase carried forward into the ANDRITZ phase, meaning the Russian and Brazilian Portuguese projects benefited from accumulated institutional knowledge about the company’s product range and documentation conventions.
