Valmet's scope of supply includes a cooking plant, chip feeding system, auxiliary equipment, complete installation, and start up. The cooking plant is the first stage in a chemical pulping line where lignin is separated from the fiber.
"The CompactCooking G2 possesses a simplified system compared with conventional cooking processes. Among other advantages it enables lower operation cost and flexibility, and improves productivity and availability," says Patrik Lidbäck, sales manager at Valmet. "Valmet and SCA Obbola have cooperated in several projects during the years, and we recently also agreed on the delivery of a mist eliminator for one of the evaporation units in the Obbola mill."
CompactCooking G2 is Valmet's two-vessel continuous cooking system mainly consisting of an ImpBin chip impregnation system and a digester for cooking of chips.
SCA's Obbola containerboard mill produces 435,000 metric tpy of unbleached kraftliner and has about 300 employees.
