Valmet delivers ash plant to Mercer_Stendal

Valmet>>> will deliver a new ash crystallization plant to Mercer Stendal>>> mill in Arneburg, Germany>>>. This investment, part of Advent International>>>'s long-term vision, aims to reduce the mill's emissions, improve its performance, and extend recovery boiler maintenance intervals to 24 months and beyond. The plant will recover valuable sodium salts and remove non-process elements like chloride and potassium from the mill's liquor cycle, reducing plugging and corrosion. This solution eliminates the need for ash dumping, decreases wastewater, and lowers costs by reducing make-up chemical demand. The order was included in Valmet>>>'s Q1 2026 orders, with startup scheduled for Q4 2027. Dr. Martin Zenker, Mill Manager at Mercer Stendal>>>, and Claus Jensen-Holm, Director at Valmet>>>, both highlighted the project's benefits for operational and environmental performance.
