Pöyry awarded EPC assignment for tall oil plant at Metsä Group's bioproduct mill
Metsä Fibre has awarded Pöyry with an EPC agreement to deliver a tall oil plant
for a bioproduct mill being built in Äänekoski, 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 Pöyry, with a
capacity of 10 t/h of tall oil. The plant is based on Pöyry's patented HDS(®)
technology. Pöyry 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 Metsä 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.
Metsä Fibre is a part of the Metsä Group.
"We are proud that Metsä Fibre selected Pöyry as the tall oil plant supplier for
its next-generation bioproduct mill. This shows the trust in Pöyry's ability to
tailor its technology according to customers' requirements," says Ilkka
Heikkilä, regional director of Pöyry'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.
