United Arab Emirates : Poyry awarded EPC assignment for tall oil plant at Metsa Group's bioproduct mill
Publish Date : 31-Oct-2015
Metsa Fibre has awarded Poyry with an EPC agreement to deliver a tall oil plant for a bioproduct mill being built in Aanekoski, Finland. The assignment covers the total delivery of a tall oil plant, consisting of the design, procurement and delivery of main and auxiliary equipment. The approximately two-year project has started in October 2015.
The tall oil plant is the largest single-line plant delivered by Pyry, with a capacity of 10 t/h of tall oil. The plant is based on Pyry's patented HDS technology. Poyry has delivered more than 20 plants based on the same technology in Europe, China, the United States and Canada, with two projects currently in progress in Finland. The plant combines high yields and usability with low operating costs. It produces a high-quality crude tall oil which, after processing, can be used in various applications.
"The crude tall oil is an important product in the bioproduct mill. We have good experiences of HDS technology in other Metsa Fibre mills and we believe that we can maximise the tall oil production in a cost effective way with the solution chosen," says Timo Merikallio, director of the bioproduct mill project. Metsa Fibre is a part of the Mets Group.
"We are proud that Mets Fibre selected Pyry as the tall oil plant supplier for its next-generation bioproduct mill. This shows the trust in Pyry's ability to tailor its technology according to customers' requirements," says Ilkka Heikkila, regional director of Pyry's Energy business group in Finland.
The value of the assignment will not be disclosed. The order will be recognised within the Energy business group's order stock for Q4 in 2015.
