LignoBoost receives Silver Award at ATIP Congress

Valmet was honored with the “Palme d’Argent” for its LignoBoost in the annual congress of ATIP in Grenoble, France.

Biomass for industrial kilns: Södra Cell, Värö, Sweden

Drying and gasification of biomass for increased fuel value is an innovation pioneered by Valmet. In fact, since 1987 a Valmet lime kiln gasifier has been operating at the Södra Cell pulp mill in Värö, Sweden.

Vattenfall Jordbro recycled wood fueled power plant in Sweden

Vattenfall Jordbro is a customer-specific combined heat and power plant that produces heat and electricity from 100% biofuel in Sweden. Valmet’s full-scope delivery included a boiler island, a turbine and flue gas cleaning system with fabric filters.

Balancing rolls - balance and imbalance, isolating the problem

Unbalanced rolls hammer at the framework of the papermachine, leading to worn journals, bearings and covers. Balancing rolls lengthens component lifetimes.

Comparison of hard and soft bearing roll balancing methods

Hard bearing type balancers measure residual unbalance. Soft bearing type balancers use a stroboscope and pickups to measure vibration amplitude and direction.

Coated board reel control rebuild reduces waste, case study

A coated board mill reduced bottom waste at the reel and increased board quality, with a rebuild from pneumatic to hydraulic reel control.

Operational basics of Compaction Baffle Filters (webinar)

Producing chemical pulp requires several unit operations involving washing dissolved solids from the pulp. The CB Filter combines two operations in one machine.

Valmet reduces fabric change time with no creasing, a case study

A new fabric change system created through cooperation between mill personnel and Valmet improves work safety, significantly shortens fabric change time and increases production time.

Energy consumption minimization in LC refining (webinar)

Low-consistency refining uses a significant amount of a mill's electricity consumption, especially refining in paper/board grades based on virgin fibers.

Is it time to convert your boiler to gas for energy savings?

If your power or recovery boilers are older and running on oil or other fuel sources - converting to natural gas may be a wise decision. Valmet has rebuilt several boilers, resulting in a cleaner less costly operation.
