Valmet Vapor Recycling

Valmet’s Vapor Recycling can help save high pressure steam. The innovative vapor recycling concept makes it possible to evaporate to high dry solids using only LP steam. High pressure steam can be saved for other uses in the mill.

High dry solids using only LP steam

Proven solution

High availability

Improved heat transfer

In Valmet’s Vapor Recycling evaporator, recycled vapor flows over the liquor film. This creates turbulence in the film, and improves the heat transfer.

Valmet’s Vapor Recycling evaporators enable efficient evaporation of high viscosity liquors, using only LP steam.

Evaporation Technologies

Tubel Evaporators

Valmet’s well-proven Tubel design has been shown to provide greater availability in high dry solids or scaling applications.

Valmet Tube Evaporator

Our tubular falling film evaporator is well proven and mechanically reliable. It provides a smaller footprint and excellent condensate segregation.

Valmet MVR Evaporators

MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) is a good way to improve the mill’s overall steam economy and condensate segregation. Valmet’s MVR evaporators are optimized for minimum fan power, which lowers the operating cost.

High-performance condensate handling

Valmet Evaporation plants can be designed to produce condensates that can be completely reused in the mill. This greatly reduces the mill’s consumption of fresh water.

Success in evaporation

Strong teamwork brings success to SCA Obbola

SCA’s increased production capacity project at their kraftliner mill in Obbola, Sweden, is nearing completion. Close collaboration and good dialogue between the SCA and Valmet teams have delivered positive results.

The future of the bioindustry

Project Star is one of the largest private investments in Brazil in the last 20 years, and it has made Bracell the largest producer of dissolving pulp in the world. The mill runs without any fossil fuels and can produce up to three million tonnes of kraft pulp per year.

Important milestones reached at the bioproduct mill project in Kemi

The project is progressing according to plan and on schedule. The mill’s start-up is scheduled in the third quarter of 2023.

Project Star: Evaporation and white liquor plant delivered

Valmet concluded on September 9th the delivery of the evaporation and white liquor plants in Project Star, the new Bracell’s dissolving pulp mill, located in Lençóis Paulista, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The delivery includes equipment of high technological level, in terms of technical, energy and environmental performance.
