Case Study: Nordic Paper Bäckhammar achieves record pulp production and lower emissions with Valmet solutions

Nordic Paper Bäckhammar boosts pulp production to over 800 admt/d with Valmet

Nordic Paper Bäckhammar, a pulp mill in Sweden, sought to significantly increase its production capacity and overcome limitations in its cooking plant. The mill partnered with vendor Valmet to implement a series of innovative upgrades, including the Valmet Chip Bin OB and the Valmet Pump Feed Solution G3, to address these challenges.

Valmet implemented three key upgrades, which included installing new chip bin and feeding technology and modifying the digester. This solution enabled Nordic Paper Bäckhammar to surpass its production target, achieving over 800 admt/d. The Valmet upgrades also resulted in a 3% reduction in wood consumption, the complete elimination of certain emissions, reduced maintenance costs, and improved operational stability.
