Expansion of chemical recovery capacity by 64%, case study

The massive upgrade of the Södra Cell Värö mill in Sweden has increased the mill's capacity by 64%. This white paper examines the changes made to the evaporation and chemical recovery boiler area as part of the project and their role in the production capacity increase, improved environmental performance, as well as increased efficiency of the upgraded mill.

Guaíba odorless pulp mill in successful operation, a case study

In CMPC Guaíba an odorless pulp mill has now been running for almost two years. Besides reducing emissions and preventing explosions, the installation also contains many safety aspects that provide a safe working environment for the personnel at the pulp mill. CMPC Guaíba is an odorless mill without compromising safety!

Moving toward CO2 neutrality by utilizing CFB, case study

HOFOR erected a new power plant in Amagervaerket Copenhagen using Valmet CFB technology. It is a big step toward the CO2-neutral Copenhagen target.

Cut turnaround costs by focusing maintenance where needed

One of the biggest challenges is determining what devices will be adjusted, repaired or upgraded, and ensuring that key devices are not ignored.

Breaking through the textile industry

Circulose dissolving pulp uses cellulose from discarded textiles that is then spun into soft and breathable new textile materials like viscose and lyocell. Renewcell and Valmet have worked closely on this groundbreaking innovation from the first pilot trials to the first-of-a-kind industrial-scale production line.

Fugitive emission standards – remedy or futility?

Plant owners are being forced to spend more time and money to stay in compliance with the lower emission mandates. Several reports state that 50 to 60% of emissions from a plant are attributed to external leakage from valves.

8 ways to lower the total cost of valve ownership

The concept of total cost of ownership (TCO) is not an unfamiliar term when discussing investment decisions in process industries. It has become a valuable tool to help buyers make more informed purchase decisions.

Cultivating Positive Safety Culture in the Pulp and Paper Industry

Discover how a collaborative approach to Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) standards can enhance mill safety across the pulp and paper industry, from the woodyard to the finishing section.

Bold enough to break industrial boundaries 

Professor Fredrik Hacklin urges companies to forget their traditional innovation patterns and take the leap towards more experimental business models. Hacklin took the stage and shared his views on business models of the future at Valmet Customer Days 2018 in Vienna.

Safe offshore production – part 3: processing information

There are efficient technologies available which can optimize the plant shutdown time as well optimize the needed visits in the platforms. Real time condition monitoring, using open technology asset management tools and analyzing the condition monitoring information works very efficient way and the following examples describes better this idea.
