Valmet: Order from Siam Cellulose Co., Ltd., Thailand

Valmet will supply a part of a major rebuild and some new equipment to a pulp mill of Siam Cellulose Co., Ltd. (SCL) in Thailand. The mill is located in Wangsala, Kanchanaburi province. The value of the order is around EUR 30 million.

 
 

The order includes an upgrade of the cooking plant and a fiber line rebuild. The new equipment delivery includes an evaporation plant, a recovery boiler, an ash leaching plant and a non-condensable gas treatment (CNCG) collection and burning system. The rebuilt plant is planned to be in operation in the beginning of 2016.

The existing cooking plant will be converted to Compact Cooking G2 by adding an ImpBinTM impregnation system, a decision based on the successful experience of improved pulp quality in Phoenix mill. The rebuild of the fiber line includes installation of Delta screens, wash presses, screw conveyors and medium consistency pumps. The new evaporation plant will replace the existing plant and support the need for increased pulp production. The new RECOX recovery boiler is a repeat order from SCG Paper and will replace the existing boiler and increase the pulp production capacity. The new ash leaching system will help the mill to maintain low levels of potassium (K) and chloride (Cl).
