Billerud Skärblacka AB's Skärblacka mill outside Norrköping in Sweden has ordered from Metso, Finland, a new evaporation plant and an upgrade of its existing recovery boiler. The goal is to strengthen the mill for the future by improving environmental performance and energy efficiency as well as to enable future company expansion. The value of the order was not disclosed.
Metso's delivery will allow for a substantial increase in production capacity in the future. In addition, the mill's energy efficiency will be improved, leading to a significant reduction in consumption of fossil oil and external biofuels.
"This investment is very important for Billerud as the mill's overall energy efficiency and environmental performance will improve significantly," Johanna Lindén, Metso director, Scandinavia, said.
The project will go through two project phases. The first is to install the new evaporation plant and the second to upgrade the recovery boiler. The entire project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2013.
Billerud Skärblacka AB is part of Billerud Group, a supplier of packaging paper and packaging solutions to four industries—food and beverages, industrial, consumer and luxury goods, and medical and hygiene. The company has an annual net sales of approximately EUR 1 billion.
