order worth between €125-150 million ($140m-$168m). “Our gasification technology and recovery boiler maximize the use of bioenergy and makes the pulp mill totally fossil fuel free. Valmet delivers a modern gasification plant, where bark is dried and gasified to product gas which is then used as fuel in the lime kiln,” says Bertel Karlstedt, president of the pulp and energy business line at Valmet. “The Valmet-delivered recovery
boiler has multiple high power features including patented heat recovery from flue gas to combustion air enabling the mill to sell outside 1.4 times more electricity than it needs for its own operation.” Valmet’s order includes engineering, procurement, supply and construction management. The recovery boiler will have a capacity of 7,200 tds/d (tonnes dry solids a day) and will feed steam to a 260MW turbine, which will make Metsä Fibre’s recovery boiler plant the largest renewable

energy production unit in Europe. The pulp drying line will have a trimmed width of 8.25 meters and a capacity of 2,700 Adt/d (air dry tonnes a day). The lime kiln will have a capacity of 1,200 t/d and will be operated by renewable fuel provided by 87
MW product gas capacity biomass gasification plant. Valmet will also supply its
DNA automation and process information system covering the entire pulp mill and IQ quality control system for the pulp drying machine. “The bioproduct mill will
strengthen Metsä Group’s leading position in northern softwood pulp market and will improve our profitability. We have had long term and successful cooperation with Valmet which is a strong supplier of equipment of this scale,” says Ilkka Hämälä, chief executive of Metsä Fibre.
