Kotkamills Oy and Kotkamills Absorbex Oy, subsidiaries of Kotkamills Group Oyj, have signed a long term service contract with Adven, a supplier of tailored corporate energy and water solutions, concerning improvement of the evaporation process in the Group's Kotka pulp mill. The service includes adding new evaporators and replacing obsolete parts of the existing evaporation plant of the pulp mill, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The service will improve Kotkamills energy efficiency significantly by reducing the energy consumption in the evaporation of black liquor in the pulp production process, decrease environmental emissions and enable future production capacity increases of the pulp mill.
The service agreement will be implemented in two phases, the first phase is estimated to be operational in September 2019 and the new evaporation plant fully operational in September 2020. The service contract will be valid until 2035.
