Nordic Paper Bäckhammar mill set to start-up next week

Nordic Paper Bäckhammar mill is ready for start-up. The prognosis and working hypothesis are that the pulp production will start in the beginning of next week. The paper production will follow the pulp production. Because of the difficult situation it will take time before the production is running with full capacity, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The Bäckhammar mill has been standing still due to a damaged floor drain that caused big problems. A mixture of water and soap leaked out to the recipient Visman creek during the start-up phase after the mill´s annual maintenance stop. Since the accident, the focus has been on restoring the water treatment in order to get the biodegrading of substances to work normally.

“Last week’s efforts have shown good results. The water in the Visman creek is now showing normal levels of oxygen and the mill is ready for start-up,” says Marie Stenquist, director of Corporate Communications.

Nordic Paper is a leading producer of greaseproof paper and kraft paper. The company located in Scandinavia and operates in Sweden and Norway.
