The tissue making line and biomass boiler orders are included in Valmet’s orders received of the fourth quarter 2023 and the tissue converting equipment order of the first quarter 2024. The value of the total order will not be disclosed, but such an order is typically worth around EUR 100 million.

It will also generate significant environmental benefits by reducing electronic particle projects. “Valmet’s project is to turn renewable resources into sustainable outcomes, and the new Suzano Aracruz biomass boiler is a wonderful example of how our technologies and delivery capacity can advance our consumers in power and competitiveness,” says Fernando Scucuglia, director of pulp for South America. and power, Valmet.
