The system does not only recover energy from the headbox jet power, but also returns it back to the process as electrical energy. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
This will be Sofidel's second and third installation of the innovative energy saving solution and will be installed at Delicarta mill's TM2 in Italy and Delitissue mill Poland. The first Advantage ReTurne installation started up at Sofidel's Delicarta mill in Valdottavo, Italy in 2014 and proved to fully meet the expectations right from the start.
"The first installation of Valmet's Advantage ReTurne energy saving system has been a positive experience for us. Its energy saving capabilities turned out to be better than we hoped for. Therefore we have decided to improve the energy efficiency in two more of our tissue machines," says Simone Capuano, Vice Chief Technical Officer, Sofidel.
"Energy saving is high on our customers' agendas, and we are working hard to develop energy efficiency in our new and existing tissue making solutions. Our high expectations on the first Advantage ReTurne system were substantially exceeded. We are thus convinced that the two new installations will be as successful as the first one, and will help Sofidel reach its environmental targets," says Johan Björn, Sales Director EMEA, Valmet.
Valmet is the leading global developer and supplier of technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
