PRAJ is progressing on the execution of the first batch of four second-generation integrated bio refinery projects in India, contracted by major oil marketing companies.
The scope of Valmet’s supply includes one biomass pretreatment system. Valmet’s concept is developed from long experience in pulping and fiberboard and it is now further applied to meet the new biomass processing requirements. The technology suits the initial hydrolysis step of bioethanol production very well. Valmet has the experience from more than 10 deliveries. With this technology, waste material such as rice straw can be utilized to produce climate friendly biofuels. This is Valmet’s first commercial sized order in Asia for second-generation ethanol and the first delivery to PRAJ. Valmet will deliver machinery, engineering and site services, mainly from Sweden and India.
Valmet is the leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
