| Poyry awarded tall oil plant EPC contract in Finland Poyry's Energy business group has signed an agreement with UPM-Kymmene Corporation's Kymi mills for engineering, procurement and construction services for a tall oil plant. The assignment comprises a crude tall oil plant based on the HDS (Hydro Dynamic Separation) technology, which is Poyry Energy Oy's proprietary know-how. Similar equipment has so far been installed in 18 modern pulp mills in Europe, Canada and China. Currently, Poyry has two similar projects in progress, one in Finland the other in Sweden. The tall oil project relates to UPM's rebuild of the chemical recovery plant at its Kymi pulp mill, where two outdated chemical recovery lines will be replaced by one modern line. The rebuilt recovery plant is scheduled to go on stream during summer 2008. This EUR 325 million investment is aimed at securing the Kymi paper mill's pulp supply and its development as a competitive integrated fine paper mill. The investment will also increase the mill's energy efficiency and reduce fossil carbon dioxide emissions. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
