Valmet performed remote start-up of dissolving pulp production at Arauco’s Valdivia pulp mill
In the beginning of June 2020, the dissolving pulp production was started up at Arauco’s Valdivia pulp mill in Chile. In October 2019 Valmet delivered a rebuild of the batch cooking plant and the pulp drying line, which was part of an investment that would allow the mill to produce dissolving pulp. The rebuilt plant was first started up with market pulp. When it was time to start-up the dissolving pulp production it had to be performed from a distance due to the new Covid-19 situation.
