This investment is part of Rottneros AB's larger rebuild project called Agenda 500, which aims to increase availability and the total production volume at both of Rottneros AB's pulp mills, Rottneros Mill and Vallvik Mill, and with a target to reach a capacity of 500,000 tons per year.
The new white liquor filter will replace an existing filter delivered by Valmet in 1990. A larger filter is needed to handle the capacity increase at the mill. Start-up of the new filter is scheduled for autumn 2016.
The value of the order will not be disclosed. A white liquor filter is usually valued below Euro 5 million.
Valmet will also deliver a new bleach plant to Rottneros pulp mill, which was published earlier this year.
The Rottneros Group produces paper pulp at two pulp mills. Chemical pulp is produced at the Vallvik Mill, while mechanical pulp is produced at the Rottneros Mill. Vallvik mill produces two grades of long-fiber sulphate pulp: fully bleached sulphate pulp and unbleached sulphate pulp.
Valmet is the leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
