Case Study: Södra Cell Mönsterås improves safety and reliability with Valmet's digester top separator upgrade

Södra Cell Mönsterås renews 64-meter digester top in 12 days with Valmet

Södra Cell Mönsterås faced significant structural deficiencies, including material degradation and stress fractures, in its digester top separator which had been operating since 1979. Following a mechanical lifecycle analysis conducted by Valmet, these issues were identified as a critical risk to the mill's safety and operational reliability, necessitating a proactive upgrade.

Valmet delivered and installed a new, modern digester top separator during a planned 12-day outage. The solution was executed efficiently, minimizing downtime, and successfully eliminated the risks associated with leaks. The project, completed on time, enhanced workplace safety and ensured the long-term reliability and efficiency of the mill's production line for Södra Cell Mönsterås.
