Valmet Oyj Delivers Cooking & Fiberline to TNLP
Valmet Oyj, a Finnish company that develops and supplies technologies, automation system and services to pulp, paper and energy industries intend to supply cooking and fiberline to Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers (TNLP) for their second unit located in Mondipatti, Trichy District, India.
“The unit 2 is a leading manufacturer of pulp and paper board in India. The new pulp mill with Valmet’s cooking and fiberline technology will further strengthen our ambition to maintain the leading position,” states S J Varadarajan, General Manager (Projects), TNPL.
The site has a 200,000 tons per year multilayer board machine which is been used since 2016. The new pulp mill would have a capacity of 165,000 tons per year of bleached hardwood kraft pulp. Valmet received this order in Q4 2019. Though the value of the order is not disclosed, it is estimated to be in the range of EUR 20-30 million.
“The Valmet fiberline brings the latest technology to the TNPL Unit 2 with thrust on water conservation and environment protection. This fiberline will go a long way in making the operations of our unit 2 profitable,” says S V R Krishnan, Executive Director (Operations), TNPL.
Valmet holds a long-term relationship with TNPL. Previously, Valmet has delivered two fiberlines based on the first unit of hardwood and bagasse respectively, which is located in Kagithapuram in the Karur District, India.
“Valmet’s technology is proven to meet TNPL’s strict requirements for low water consumption and raw material efficiency, which have special importance in this region. Since the launch of our latest third generation continuous cooking system in late 2018, we have been well received by the market and this order is yet another acknowledgment of that. Furthermore, this will be Valmet’s first modern reference in India for a continuous digester system, so we are proud and grateful to be a part of the project together with TNPL,” states Eva Engelfeldt, Senior Sales Manager, Fiber Processing Business Unit, Valmet.
