Valmet: Bleach plant rebuild at Caima mill in Portugal

Valmet will supply pulping equipment to Caima Industria de Celulose S.A. in Portugal for a rebuild of the existing bleach plant. The new equipment will enable Caima to produce high quality dissolving pulp for the growing global market.

 
 

The bleach plant rebuild is one part of a larger rebuild project at the mill. Valmet's delivery includes the design, supply and erection of the main and auxiliary equipment. The main machinery in the delivery consists of two TwinRoll wash presses. After completion of the project, the mill will be producing 105,000 t/y of high quality Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) dissolving pulp.

"The TwinRoll wash press is proven, state-of-the-art, technology which will ensure an environmentally friendly and efficient production. I am confident this will be a good solution for the Caima mill and I am happy that they chose Valmet as the supplier," says Mikael Gustafsson, Sales Manager, Pulp and Energy Business Line, Valmet.

"After evaluating several options we have chosen Valmet as supplier for this challenging project. Previous successful experiences and Valmet's proven technologies played an important role in this decision," says Gualter Vasco, Mill Manager, Caima.

Start-up is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015.
