Evaporation optimization increases efficiency at SCA Obbola
Aug 27, 2020
SCA Obbola produces packaging paper and transport packaging, largely based on fresh wood fiber. The mill has implemented the Valmet Evaporation Optimizer to increase the efficiency of the evaporation process and to generate energy savings while keeping the burning liquor dry solids high and stable.
The Advanced Process Controls have made our recovery line processes smoother and help us reduce costs of operation.
