Watch: In Pursuit of Lesser Water Footprint
“We wanted to find a solution to improve the energy efficiency of our continuous cooking plant. By installing this pre-evaporation system, we can improve both energy and water efficiency. By more efficient steam consumption we can use more steam for electricity production in our existing steam turbine,” says Tobias Albert, Mill Manager for Mercer Rosenthal.
“We are pleased to continue our good cooperation with the Mercer Rosenthal mill. Valmet’s equipment has a low footprint, is delivered fully assembled to the site, and has an outstanding lifetime. This solution proves how a pulp mill’s sustainability can be improved with small investments,” says Bernhard Trunk, Senior Sales Manager, Central Europe, EMEA, Valmet.
