Key cornerstones for successful process controls and optimization

Valmet is a firm believer in analyzers and measurements as the key cornerstones for efficient process controls and successful optimization.

Valmet's offering of analyzers has during its 50-year-long history become a global leader and an industry benchmark. Valmet’s deep know-how and innovative approach has enabled the introduction of never-before-seen, cutting-edge measurement-based process control solutions. Valmet’s service solutions ensure continuous reliability and performance of the instruments over the lifecycle.

The extensive portfolio consists of analyzers for different pulping and papermaking process needs, including everything from chip moisture measurement for pulp mills to automated quality measurements for paper and board manufacturers.

Additionally, Valmet offers market leading gas chromatography systems that measure the chemical composition in gases and evaporable liquids. The systems are used in hydrocarbon processing, the chemical and petrochemical industries, and in emerging sustainable energy technologies. The world renowned MAXUM II offering was acquired from Siemens in April of 2024.

Valmet’s offering also includes Boiler Diagnostic Systems for a wide range of high temperature processes. These processes can typically be found in power generation, waste-to-energy production, pulp and paper manufacturing, iron and steelmaking, and in petrochemical and cement production. Valmet analyzers, consistency transmitters, and conductivity measurements have previously been known as Kajaani®, Valmet™, Metso™ and Kemotron™ products.
