Valmet to deliver new digester top separator to Södra Cell's Mönsterås mill in Sweden
March 7, 2024
Valmet will deliver a new digester top separator to Södra Cell's Mönsterås mill in Sweden. The value of the order will not be disclosed. The delivery is scheduled to take place in October 2024.
Södra Cell made the investment decision after Valmet performed a mechanical lifecycle analysis on the digester during the mill's annual shutdown in 2022. The new digester top separator will lengthen the lifespan of the digester originally installed in 1979.
Valmet's delivery includes a new digester top separator with modern design to the mill's digester 4. The renewal will lengthen the lifespan of the digester and contribute to the overall safety of the mill.
Södra Cell is one of the world's leading producers of paper pulp and dissolving pulp. Södra's three state-of-the-art pulp mills have a combined annual production capacity of 1.9 million tons. The Mönsterås Mill is Södra's largest mill with a production capacity of 750,000 tonnes per year of softwood and hardwood pulp.
Valmet is a leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
