Valmet Automation delivered the control system for the fourth production line at the Neste Porvoo refinery. This automation project was so far the most extensive at the Porvoo site, and included a great deal of development related to quality and safety. A clear vision based on the strong automation know-how at the Porvoo site had an important role in the planning and implementation of a system, which features the highest level of automation.
The Valmet team was persistent, and saw through that the toughest problems were solved,”
