Other value-adding processes

From side streams to value-adding processes

In modern pulp production, operating sustainably is a continuous goal – pulp producers around the world are aiming for closed circles and are working towards having production side streams reused and harnessed. By working closely with our customers and placing heavy emphasis on R&D, we continuously expand our offering with new solutions. This allows us to help you utilize different production side streams for value-adding processes like lignin extraction and sulfuric acid production - making sure both your process efficiency and profitability remain high.
