Case Study: HARMAC boosts efficiency and safety with Valmet lower furnace rebuild

Harmac cuts boiler wash time nearly in half with Valmet

Harmac, a pulp mill in Canada, faced operational inefficiencies and safety concerns due to its aging boiler system and outdated air systems. An audit revealed the need for a major modernization to improve performance. Valmet was selected as the vendor to undertake this lower furnace rebuild project.

Valmet implemented a comprehensive solution that included upgrading all air systems, replacing the smelt system, and installing new technology like a bed camera and shatter jets. The results were significant, achieving a 95% reduction efficiency, halving boiler water wash time, and surpassing sustainability targets. Valmet's expertise and support were crucial to the project's success, which greatly enhanced the mill's operational efficiency and safety.
