Suzano Papel e Celulose Ltda, Brazil, has awarded Pöyry, Finland, a contract for pre-engineering and preparatory work for mill infrastructure for a 1.3 million metric tpy bleached eucalyptus market pulp mill to be built in the state of Maranhao, Brazil. The value of Pöyry's assignment is about EUR 7.3 million. The client is expected to make the final investment decision in spring next year.

According to Pöyry, the concept of the mill is based on the use of best available technologies and the best environmental practices, which constitute a state-of-the-art level pulp mill. Using existing eucalyptus plantations as raw material, the mill is to produce more with less use of natural resources, at low production costs, progressive environmental impact reduction, and minimum risk of accidents at work.
