The new pulp line, which is an expansion to the existing Guaíba pulp mill, will have a capacity of 1.3 million t/y and will be able to reach 1.5 million t/y with minor investments. The new pulp line will be built in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil and is scheduled to be commissioned in the first half of 2015.

Metso’s delivery will include the main parts of the pulp line: the cooking plant and fiberline, pulp drying and baling, evaporation, a recovery boiler, causticizing and lime kiln, and an integrated automation solution and an operator training simulator for all mill process areas.
