Finland-headed forest industry and energy technology provider Valmet Oyj has announced that it will supply an "OptiClear" green liquor clarifier to Stora Enso Skoghall mill in Sweden. The start-up of the clarifier is planned for spring 2020.
According to a statement, Valmet’s scope of supply includes a new OptiClear with polymer station and instruments, electrical motors, platforms, piping, and installation work. The value of the order has not been disclosed.
Valmet’s OptiClear will increase the availability of the green liquor plant and deliver a cleaner green liquor to slaking. This will, in turn, contribute to stabilizing the liquor circuit at the mill. Operation of the OptiClear is easy and less maintenance is required compared to our present equipment. It will also be possible to use this equipment in future rebuilds, explained Michelle Nylander, Production Manager, Power Recovery and Environment, at Stora Enso’s mill in Skoghall.
The Skoghall mill in Sweden is a world-class producer of carton board and barrier coating for demanding consumer packaging, including liquid and food packaging. The annual capacity is 775 000 tonnes board and 635 000 tonnes pulp.
Based on our flexible portfolio, we continue to deliver products that are fit for our customer’s purpose. The OptiClear provides the perfect mix between investment and operational cost as well as good process results at a minimum of maintenance, said Patrik Lidbäck, Manager Sales, Pulp and Energy, Valmet.
