Taking the learnings from doctoral thesis to work as a product engineer

Tiina Keipi works as a product engineer in Valmet’s Recovery business unit. Before she joined Valmet she did her doctoral dissertation at the Tampere University of Technology but not in the area of recovery boilers but about Technology Development and Techno-Economic Analysis of Hydrogen Production by Thermal Decomposition of Methane.

Successful start-up with remote support

Valmet’s and Ilim Group’s expert teams found new ways to collaborate remotely during commissioning and start-up phase of a new evaporation system at the Bratsk mill.

More than 4 GWh in annual energy savings

When Stora Enso initiated a project targeting a reduction in energy consumption in the TMP refining process, staff at the Hylte Mill called on Valmet for help. Valmet recommended installation of an Adjustable Gap Sensor on each of the three Valmet conical low consistency refiners.

Valmet supplies pulp mill key technology to Suzano in Brazil

The delivery covers the main parts of a green field pulp mill comprising wood handling, cooking plant and fiberline, pulp drying and baling, evaporation, power boiler, recovery boiler, causticizing and lime kiln, including an integrated automation solution for all process areas.

PeriVapor saves energy at the first mill scale trail at BHW Beeskow, Germany

The mechanical steam separator can divert up to 50% of the generated steam from the fiber flow for recycling in the pre-steaming bin.

Leading the way toward carbon neutrality

Since the start-up of the Naistenlahti 3 plant, Tampereen Energia has more than halved CO2 emissions from its total energy production. The new plant is also unique since it pilots partial bed combustion, which is now available for the CFB boilers to boost flexibility in their production structure.

Rewriting the textbook with Eukaliner®

Klabin’s Puma II project in Brazil is making history with new standards for kraftliner production. Their new PM 27 board machine has already achieved impressive results producing Eukaliner® – the world’s first kraftliner using 100 percent eucalyptus.

Cooperation moves Whakatane forward

The Whakatane board mill in New Zealand was able to optimize their existing processes to gain their maximum potential through a Performance Agreement with Valmet.

Not only for pulp and paper: Innovative new products based on wood and straw resources

Intense research is going on in many countries to use biomass more effectively, with terms such as bioeconomy and biorefinery becoming more well known every day. One example is to use the chemical building blocks contained in wood- or agro-residuals as the basic raw chemicals for the plastic industry, replacing oil-based chemicals.

Through hard times to success

Vilnius CHP (Combined Heat and Power) chose Valmet to complete the construction of the biomass unit. Valmet’s offer suited the plant’s needs best when considering the challenging task of restarting the stalled construction and ensuring smooth plant commissioning.
