Valmet will deliver key technologies to Moorim Pulp & Paper

”Valmet has been a trusted partner for our previous recausticizing plant upgrade and for this new projects we developed the technical solutions through supportive and active discussions with the Valmet Sales team. For this reason, Moorim’s management chose Valmet as the supplier,” says Sang Woo Kim, Project Director at Moorim Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd.

Valmet’s concept for the fiberline upgrade not only replace obsolete equipment but also reduce the amount of equipment while still improving the washing performance and pulp cleanliness. By reducing the water consumption and effluent flows the environmental impact will be improved. With recausticizing capacity upgrade also the white-liqour yield will increase and eliminate the need for separate lime-mud washing. Both deliveries will assure high availability and low power consumption.

“We are confident that the introduction of Valmet’s TwinRoll presses in the fiberline will make a significant environmental impact with respect to water consumption and effluent load. Valmet’s proven high performance was one key reason for the selection of partner for this project. Also, Valmet’s white liquor filter technology with low suspended solids, over time, together with high dryness from the lime mud filter were important decision factors,” says Jaesung Eom, Director South Korea region at Valmet.

Jaesung Eom adds “As Moorim has the only kraft pulp mill in South Korea, we are especially happy for our cooperation and proud to have been chosen as a supplier for their fiberline and recausticizing upgrade projects”.
