SCA to Install New Biofuel Lime Kiln at Munksund Mill

摘要

SCA plans to invest about SEK 490 million in a bio-fueled lime kiln at the Munksund paper mill in Pitea in northern Sweden. The new lime kiln, which replaces an old oil-fuelled lime kiln at the mill, will lead to annual cost savings of about SEK 50 million, along with reducing fossil (carbon dioxide] emissions by 75 percent. "The technology to use wood pellets instead of fuel oil for an advanced installation such as a lime kiln, has been developed at SCA's Ostrand pulp mill in Timra," said Ulf Larsson, president of SCA Forest Products.
