Södra Cell, Sweden, is installing a new Metso (Finland) Kappa Q analyzer at its Mörrum mill in southern Sweden, replacing one of three analyzers operating on the mill's two fiber lines where Metso's Kappa analyzer technology has been in use since 1994. The new analyzer, with seven sample points in the ECF fiber line, will measure pulp lignin content and brightness as well as shive content for improved process optimization and quality control. Startup of the analyzer on Fiberline 2 will be completed this month.
"With 400 delivered, Metso Kappa Analyzers have gained a solid reputation for reliability around the world and this latest repeat order is further proof of our customers' confidence in Metso technology," says Jarmo Koskinen, Business Manager, Metso Pulp Analyzers. "Many of the new features and measurements have been developed with help from mills like Mörrum and it is especially satisfying to see them reaping the rewards of our continuing cooperation."
The Metso Kappa Q utilizes sweep technology to measure kappa and brightness with a two-point calibration method. The addition of shive analysis helps to produce more uniform pulp and gives the mill precise information of grade differentiation for premium pricing potential.
Mörrum produces 425,000 metric tpy of hardwood and softwood pulp on two fiber lines. Much of the pulp produced at Södra Cell in Mörrum is exported to paper mills in Europe to make paper used in magazines, books, tea bags, and other products. The Mörrum mill is also the source of green electricity and district heating used to heat houses in the Karlshamn municipality.
