Nordic Paper has decided to invest approximately USD 84 million to enhance the sustainability performance and competitiveness of the Bäckhammar mill, which produces kraft paper for various applications. An important component of the investment is a new wood room providing for both strategic flexibility in raw material sourcing and efficiency gains in production. AFRY will deliver project management services for projects and multi-disciplinary engineering services covering the process, mechanical, piping, electrical, automation, and instrumentation. The project is a continuation of the pre-study phase of the projects that AFRY has also been involved in. The value of AFRY’s assignment is not disclosed. The emissions of dust into the air will be reduced by more than two-thirds through the installation of a new electrostatic filter.
