The first Exergy Superheated Steam Dryer for commercial use was installed and commissioned at BillerudKorsnäs Rockhammar in Sweden 1979/80. Over the years the plant has been improved and upgraded to higher capacity and is still in full service drying approximately 90 000 ADMT CTMP annually.
As part of an on-going product development and capacity increase, Swedish Exergy AB received an order for a new Superheated Steam Dryer in February 2015 to replace the original dryer enabling a capacity increase to 150 000 tonnes per annum. The installation works is currently in progress and the new dryer is scheduled for start-up in October 2016.
