Pöyry awarded EPC assignment for tall oil plant at Metsä Group's bioproduct mill

Oct 30, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Metsä Fibre has awarded Pöyry with an EPC agreement to deliver a tall oil plant for a bioproduct mill being built in Äänekoski, Finland. The assignment covers the total delivery of a tall oil plant, consisting of the design, procurement and delivery of main and auxiliary equipment. The approximately two-year project has started in October 2015, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The tall oil plant is the largest single-line plant delivered by Pöyry, with a capacity of 10 t/h of tall oil. The plant is based on Pöyry's patented HDS® technology. The plant combines high yields and usability with low operating costs. It produces a high-quality crude tall oil which, after processing, can be used in various applications.

"The crude tall oil is an important product in the bioproduct mill. We have good experiences of HDS® technology in other Metsä Fibre mills and we believe that we can maximise the tall oil production in a cost effective way with the solution chosen," says Timo Merikallio, director of the bioproduct mill project.

Metsä Fibre is a world-leading producer of softwood pulp for high-quality paper, board and tissue producers in Europe and Far East. Metsä Fibre is a part of the Metsä Group.

Pöyry is an international consulting and engineering company.
