“We have a good experience in working with Valmet, since we have had their presses in our mill for many years. This rebuild will lower the load on the effluent and reduce variable costs, which will strengthen our competitiveness,” says Johan Björkman, Project Manager, Iggesund.
“This rebuild is the first step towards a press-based bleach plant in the hardwood pulp line. The high outlet consistency makes the process easier to control and the volume of effluent will be less than for washers with lower discharge consistencies. Also, water and chemical consumption will be minimized. We are looking forward to a good co-operation in this project”, says Mikael Gustafsson, Sales Manager, Valmet.
