"The new wash press will play an important role in our process to secure a grade of pulp that meets customer requirements and to achieve improved availability," says Olof Hellström, one of Södra's project managers.
"The shutdown in Mönsterås was well planned which created the best possible conditions and enabled the efficient installation. Slightly more than one day after the start-up the press was up and running in nominal production of soft wood pulp, with a dryness that was well above the promised. The training was an important piece in the success. Committed and interested operators enabled a quick knowledge transfer," says Mikael Johansson, Project Manager at Valmet.
Södra Cell Mönsterås is Södra's biggest pulp mill with a capacity of 750,000 tonnes per year of pulp.
Valmet is the leading global developer and supplier of technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
