Valmet joins a research project to develop hydrogen underground storage

Valmet is joining forces with the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), and 15 industrial partners in a pioneering research project called Hydrogen UnderGround (HUG). The project is also a part of Valmet’s Beyond Circularity R&D program and ecosystem.

Valmet paves the road to carbon neutral pulp and paper production

Valmet’s target is to enable 100 percent carbon neutral production for all its pulp and paper customers by 2030 by developing new process technologies. Valmet is also committed to improving the energy efficiency of its current offering by 20 percent. Only two years after the ambitious targets were introduced, they have been partly achieved. 

Conversion projects open the door to new opportunities

Rather than permanently idling a paper machine, why not move into a growing market such as packaging?

Reeling terminology and how to achieve proper roll structure

Proper roll structure requires carefully controlled winding, to enable the resulting parent reel to be stored and unwound in downstream processes in a trouble-free manner. This article presents a glossary of terms and description of roll structure.

Stainless steel care, cleaning, surface prep and passivating

Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and maintains a film of chrome oxide over its surface. Under normal conditions this film is self-healing.

Reel backlash due to worn parts causes sheet breaks, case study

Sheet breaks on PM1 are costing thousands of dollars. Valmet emergency service discovers backlash and further analysis provides temporary and long-term fixes.

Safety, operation and maintenance of water jet tail cutter

Beloit's original Water Jet Tail Clip was a hardworking tail cutter and its operation, maintenance and safety considerations are reviewed in this article.

Reducing coater variability with a coater beam replacement

Many existing coating station blade beams experience MD and CD coat weight variability due to a variety of factors. Replacing the blade beam with a Valmet OptiCoat beam reduces variability and improves end product quality.

Common hydraulic valves – cartridge counterbalance valves

Counterbalance valves prevent oil from leaving a cylinder that is holding a load. Without them, loads would move uncontrollably if oil pressure is lost.

Achieving boiler MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology)

The primary goal of a boiler tune-up is to improve efficiency with respect to combustion operations by re-establishing the air-fuel mixture for the operating range of the boiler and balance oxygen and unburned fuel.
