Case Study: Eldorado Mill boosts recovery boiler performance with Valmet digital optimization and services

Eldorado Mill boosts recovery boiler capacity by 20% with Valmet

The Eldorado pulp mill, a customer of Valmet, faced a challenge when its recovery boiler became a bottleneck after a significant production capacity increase. The mill needed to maintain long, uninterrupted campaign cycles and high efficiency without unplanned shutdowns.

Valmet implemented a solution combining advanced digital services like Advanced Process Controls (APC) with on-site support from a resident engineer. This integration of technology and people empowered the mill's team, enabling predictive maintenance and operational optimization. As a result, Valmet helped the mill increase the boiler's capacity by over 20% and extend its campaign cycle to 18 months with no unplanned stops, all while operating at above 99% efficiency.
